How we handled the facts. District E includes only portions of several townships, so this page uses township figures from the 2020 U.S. Census and labels them as such, never as District-E-only numbers. Landmarks are described as "in and around" the district unless their township is confirmed. Income and home-value estimates were deliberately left out, because reliable district-level figures do not exist and place-level estimates would be misleading.
One source of truth. District lines change with redistricting, and precincts shift between cycles. For your exact district and registration, the county and the Nevada Secretary of State are the only authorities. The links above go straight to them.

How we handled the facts. Every population figure is the 2020 U.S. Census count for the whole township, labeled as such, never as a District-E-only number. Where a source confirmed an event but not its reason, such as why Winchester was named Winchester, this guide reports the event and declines to invent the reason.

How we handled the facts. Each place is verified for what it is and where it sits. The township is named only when confirmed; otherwise the guide uses "in and around the district." Where a place is downtown or in another township, it is labeled plainly rather than claimed for the district.
One source of truth. District lines shift between redistricting cycles. For whether any single place or address falls inside District E, the county's official map is the only authority. The links above go straight to it.

How we handled the numbers. Township populations are 2020 U.S. Census place figures, labeled as township-level, never as District-E-only. County totals are county-level. The roughly 324,000-per-seat figure is stated as arithmetic (county population divided by seven), and the roughly 44 percent unincorporated figure is labeled as a derived ratio, not an official statistic.
What we left out, on purpose. There is no reliable District-E-only population, income, or home-value figure, so none is published here. Where a precise district figure does not exist, this guide says so and points to the township, county, and official-map sources that do.

How we handled the dates. Load-bearing milestones are tied to official sources where they exist, the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation for the dam and UNLV for the university, with well-established references for the rest. The 2021 redistricting links to the county's official maps.
What is soft, and why we say so. A few dates are reported slightly differently across sources: Whitney's 1942 founding rests on a secondary source rather than an official county record, and the airfield's opening is given as 1942 or early 1943 depending on the source. We use the common figure and flag the softness rather than inventing precision. We deliberately do not state a specific year for when the county moved to seven single-member districts, because we could not confirm it against an authoritative source.

- City of Las Vegas (a separate municipal government with its own elected council, for addresses inside the city limits): lasvegasnevada.gov
How we handled the offices. Every elected body on this page is attributed to the government that actually runs it: the County Commission for county matters, the CCSD Board of Trustees for schools, the Library District board for libraries, the NSHE Board of Regents for colleges, the elected Sheriff for Metro, and city councils for incorporated cities. The point is to send you to the office that can act.
One source of truth. Your commission district and your registration are settled only by the county's official map and the Nevada Secretary of State. The links above go straight to them.
Small Business & Permitting sources.

- Clark County Board of County Commissioners (the seven-member board that governs the departments and votes on land use): clarkcountynv.gov commissioners
How we handled the numbers. The licensing and permitting facts come straight from the Clark County department pages, including the county's own published plan-review target timelines. The small-business share comes from the SBA Office of Advocacy's 2025 Nevada profile. The licenses-and-permits revenue figure is from the county's FY2026 tentative budget and is a broad, all-category line, not a small-business-fee total.
What we deliberately did not claim. We did not cite the well-known "ten times slower" permitting critique, because that report is about Clark County, Washington, not Nevada. We did not assert a specific count of active county business licenses, an expedited-permit program, or a live wait-time dashboard, because we could not confirm those exist. The point of the page is the one gap we could confirm: the county publishes its targets but not its actual performance.
Affordability sources.

- Clark County, District E composition (Paradise, Sunrise Manor, Whitney, Winchester, and part of the City of Las Vegas). clarkcountynv.gov
- National Low Income Housing Coalition, Nevada Housing Profile. nlihc.org (PDF)
How we handled the prices. Home prices change monthly, so this page uses the most recent Las Vegas Realtors figure with its date (about $475,000 in spring 2026) and notes the late-2025 record near $489,000, rather than quoting one round number as if it were permanent.
What we left out. We did not publish a single current median-rent dollar figure, because the reliable, dated source was a cost-burden share (about 58 percent), not a clean monthly rent number. We also kept the county's affordable-housing spending to the well-documented $440 million relief total rather than unit counts that varied between sources.
Issue, not attack. The land squeeze is bipartisan, and so is the fix. This page is about supply and accountability, not about blaming any one official. When homes are this scarce, the job is to build more and to be honest about who controls what.
Homelessness & Public Safety sources.
- Las Vegas Review-Journal: the 2024 Southern Nevada point-in-time count of 7,906, a ten-year high, up 20 percent, about 53 percent unsheltered; and that no count was held in 2025. reviewjournal.com

- Nevada 2-1-1 statewide health and human-services referral, including shelter and homeless services. nevada211.org
- LVMPD non-emergency line, 702-828-3111. lvmpd.com
How we handled the count. The latest official point-in-time count is from January 2024 (7,906, about 53 percent unsheltered). No count was conducted in 2025, and a 2026 count was scheduled but not yet published when this page was written, so we use the 2024 figure and say so.
Jurisdiction, carefully. The 2019 camping ban is a City of Las Vegas law. The 2024 bed-first ordinance is Clark County's. LVMPD is a merged Metro department led by the elected Sheriff. We label each one, because mixing them up is how this debate goes wrong.
Compassion and accountability. This page does not treat people experiencing homelessness as the enemy, or treat neighborhood safety as optional. Both matter. The honest position, and the county's own law, is that humane enforcement requires beds and outreach to exist first.

How we handled the numbers. The caps, the 35 percent assessment, and the Consolidated Tax structure come straight from Clark County and Nevada Revised Statutes. The budget totals are from the county's published FY2026 budget; for the full spending breakdown and the General Fund definition, the Fiscal and Transparency page goes deeper.
What to verify yourself. Your own cap status, your owner-occupancy claim, and your specific bill are settled only by the Clark County Assessor and Treasurer. If you think you lost the 3 percent cap, contact the Assessor directly using the link above.

How we handled the numbers. Lake levels and shortage tiers change, so every lake figure is dated to its reading and tied to the federal gauge or the water authority. The conservation figures (the 58 percent reduction, the rebate amounts, the 2027 deadline) come straight from the water authority's own pages.
What we did not claim. We did not put a single "today's gallons per person" number on the page, because that figure is measured several ways; the verified, durable claim is the 58 percent reduction since 2002 and the 86-gallon 2035 goal. We did not name individual board members, since those seats rotate with elections. Confirm current rosters and the live lake level at the linked sources.

- Clark County Board of County Commissioners (the body that funds Metro and sits on the Fiscal Affairs Committee, and controls code enforcement): clarkcountynv.gov commissioners
How we handled the numbers. The More Cops funding figures are from the Nevada Legislature's own review and are dated to fiscal year 2020, so we label them as such. The 2024 crime figures come from Review-Journal reporting of Metro and Coroner data, and the new area-command details from Fox5 and KTNV reporting of Metro.
The crime-data rule. We do not publish a crime statistic without a dated official source. For current figures, the Nevada Crime Statistics dashboard is the live authority, and it updates over time. Several Metro pages block automated access, so confirm the latest budget and staffing counts directly on lvmpd.com.

How we handled the money. We list the county's spending as documented line items and deliberately do not state a single grand total, because some figures overlap and some are forward-looking. The $12.8 million for two buildings in 2024 is well documented. The roughly $10 million further plan is partly looking ahead.
Ideas versus decisions. The county has floated various concepts for the site's future. This page sticks to what has been funded, approved, or physically done: purchases, a security office, a stalled Orleans Square vote, and demolition that began in February 2026. Concepts that are not yet decided are left out.
Issue, not attack. This page is about a public project and public money, not about any one official. The point is simple and bipartisan: when the county spends millions, residents deserve a clear plan and a clear finish line.
Found an error? If a figure here is out of date or a source has better numbers, the campaign wants to know. The whole value of a page like this is that it is correct. Reach the team through the main site, and if the county publishes a real timeline, this page will be glad to update and say so.

- Clark County Board of County Commissioners (the body that appoints members to the RTC board and oversees the Department of Aviation): clarkcountynv.gov commissioners
How we handled the numbers. The Maryland Parkway figures come from the transit agency and the project site, the safety figures from Review-Journal reporting of the Nevada Office of Traffic Safety data, and the airport passenger records from the airport itself. The fleet is 15 hydrogen fuel cell buses, which corrects an earlier "all-electric" description seen elsewhere.
What to treat with care. The roughly $35 billion airport economic-impact figure rests on an older study, so we present it as a scale rather than a live number. The supplemental-airport cost and timeline are planning-stage estimates, not commitments. Confirm the current Maryland Parkway schedule and the live airport counts at the linked sources.

- Clark County Department of Business License, Liquor and Gaming (business licensing for the unincorporated county): clarkcountynv.gov licensing
How we handled the numbers. The gaming figures come from the Nevada Gaming Control Board as reported by The Nevada Independent, the tourism output from an LVCVA-tied 2023 study (which we flag as a study-year estimate), and the stadium financing from public reporting and the agreements. We did not assert a precise LVCVA board-seat count, only that commissioners sit on the board.
What to treat as scale. The roughly $85 billion and 380,000-jobs tourism figures rest on a 2023 study, so use them as scale rather than a live number. For current gaming and visitor data, the Gaming Control Board and LVCVA dashboards are the live authorities.

- Nevada 211 (the free, confidential number for housing, food, utility, and crisis help): nevada211.org
How we handled the numbers. The UMC facts come from the hospital's own pages, the health-district governance from the district, and the safety-net programs from Clark County. We describe UMC as having "more than 500 beds" because published bed counts vary slightly by year, and we did not cite an uncompensated-care dollar figure that we could not confirm to a primary source.
The homelessness data rule. We cite the 2024 point-in-time count and state plainly that there was no published 2025 count. The full homelessness plan, with its own sources, lives on the Homelessness and Safety page. We label operators carefully: the Courtyard is City of Las Vegas, while UMC and Social Service are county.

- Clark County Board of County Commissioners (the body that appropriates the Welfare budget and oversees the human-services departments): clarkcountynv.gov commissioners
How we handled the numbers. The department facts come from Clark County's own pages, the legal mandate from the Nevada Revised Statutes, and the $892.7 million Welfare figure and 285-staff count from the county's FY2026 budget schedules. We describe foster care as "about 3,400 on most days," matching the county's own phrasing, because the precise live count changes daily.
What we were careful about. We separated county-run services from state-run ones: the county runs the indigent safety net, child welfare, guardianship, child support, and juvenile justice, while the state runs Medicaid, food stamps, cash welfare, the Aging and Disability Resource Center, and general veterans services. We did not cite a standalone Family Services budget, which the county does not publish separately.

Attribution first. The single biggest way this subject goes wrong is claiming authority the office does not have. We label each agency by the government that runs it: schools (the elected school district), libraries (an independent district the county helps appoint), colleges (the state), broadband (the state), workforce and economic development (regional partnerships the county joins).
What we left out. We did not publish a specific percentage of households without internet, because we could not confirm a current figure from a primary source. We described the digital divide qualitatively instead, and pointed to the state programs that address it.
Honesty as the policy. The premise of this page, that a commissioner should be candid about what the office cannot do, is not a dodge. It is the standard Manny brings to every issue, and it is what makes the promises he does make worth believing.

How we handled the budget number. We cite all of it, on purpose. The county's FY2026 budget book reports three different totals: about $2.4 billion in the General Fund, about $10.1 billion across the county's governmental funds, and about $12.9 billion all funds once self-funded enterprises like the airport and the public hospital are counted. The roughly $2.1 billion "operating budget" that runs everyday services is the figure most often cited in county budget coverage. We lead with the $10.1 billion governmental-funds total the commission is responsible for, and show the others so the scope is never ambiguous. The gap between these totals is itself the transparency point.
Patch versus plan. The $56 million transfer is presented as what it was: a reasonable one-time move to protect services in a soft year, paired with the honest caveat that one-time money does not close a structural gap. We are not accusing anyone of wrongdoing. We are making a point about discipline.
Powers, not promises. We label what a commissioner controls (the budget, contracts, transparency policy) and what the state controls (the tax ceilings). Accountability starts with being honest about which is which.
