Question 1

Why is he running?

Accepted Answer

He is running because he is tired of watching people who have never built anything tell the people who built everything how to live. Manny has spent 15 years actually building businesses in Clark County. He knows the cost of a permit, the margin on a plate, and the line between a viable district and a dead one. The commission needs a builder. He intends to be that.

Question 2

Is he really answering his own phone?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The number on the homepage is his actual cell phone. He has had it published since the day he declared his candidacy in December 2025. Average reply time is under 4 minutes during the day. Try it: 702.277.1072 .

Question 3

What exactly does the Clark County Commission do?

Accepted Answer

More than most people realize. Seven commissioners adopt a county budget that runs to about $10.1 billion across its governmental funds, inside a $12.9 billion all-funds total (about $2.1 billion of it day-to-day operations), and govern the unincorporated Las Vegas Valley, home to more than a million people. They sit on the Southern Nevada Water Authority, fund the police through the Metro fiscal committee, run University Medical Center, and control land use and zoning across the county. None of it makes national news. All of it shapes daily life.

Question 4

Wait, isn't the Las Vegas Strip in Las Vegas?

Accepted Answer

No. The Strip is unincorporated Clark County. The City of Las Vegas boundary on Las Vegas Boulevard South stops at Sahara Avenue . Every casino south of Sahara (the Wynn, the Venetian, Caesars, the Bellagio, all the way down to Mandalay Bay) sits inside Paradise township. The Mayor of Las Vegas does not govern any of it. The same seven-person Clark County Commission that runs your water bill also approves every F1 road closure, every NYE permit, every Strip business license. When the Strip shuts down for three weeks, that decision is one of seven commissioners away from your vote.

Question 5

Where is District E?

Accepted Answer

District E covers the east and central Las Vegas Valley . parts of Paradise, Sunrise Manor, Whitney, Winchester, and a portion of the City of Las Vegas. More than 299,000 residents. If you live in that corridor and you vote in the general election, this seat is on your ballot.

Question 6

What are his actual policy positions?

Accepted Answer

He is running on accountability and transparency, safer neighborhoods, fiscally responsible county decisions, and long-term opportunity for the next generation. In plain terms: spend county money carefully, keep neighborhoods safe, and govern for the people who actually live here. The issues section breaks each one down.

Question 7

Does he take money from special interests?

Accepted Answer

Contributions are governed by Nevada law, with a limit of $5,000 per contributor for the general election, and the campaign reports them as required. If you want to know where Manny stands on something, the fastest answer is to call him directly at 702.277.1072 .

Question 10

Can I vote at any polling place?

Accepted Answer

Useful if your job is on the Strip and your house is in Sunrise Manor, or if your closest center has the shortest line. The full list of sites and hours is at the Clark County Election Department .

Question 11

How can I help if I don't live in District E?

Question 12

What is the Kess Group?

Accepted Answer

Manny's hospitality group. Founded in 2012. Operates restaurants in the Las Vegas area. It is the source of his 15 years of payroll experience and the reason he can speak credibly about what county-level regulation actually does to working businesses.
