Rochelle Nguyen is running for the Nevada Assembly in District 10. She is a criminal defense attorney who served three years in the Clark County Public Defender’s Office. In law school Nguyen was an editor on the law review and founded the Public Interest Law Association, a non-profit student organization that raises awareness of public interest law. She also served as a community leader with HopeLink of Southern Nevada to help move people out of poverty and into self-sufficiency. Assemblywoman Nguyen was appointed to the office in December 2019, and is a member of the Growth and Infrastructure Committee, Health and Human Services Committee, and the Judiciary Committee. Her policy priorities include improving the public education system with more classroom resources and higher teacher pay, reforming the criminal justice system, making health care more affordable, and protecting our natural resources and addressing climate change. Nguyen is not religious.

 

Howard Watts is running for re-election to the Nevada State Assembly in District 15. A progressive small business owner with a long record of community service, Watts “has dedicated his career to fighting for policies that preserve the environment, protect consumers, increase access to the ballot box, and ensure dignity for historically marginalized communities.” As a freshman in the Nevada legislature, Watts introduced and passed legislation to improve water conservation, support electric vehicles, improve Native American access to the ballot box, and assist mobile home owners. In addition, he supported measures that increased the minimum wage, guaranteed paid leave, advanced sweeping criminal justice and voting rights reforms, and made health care more affordable. He is looking forward to further advancing his progressive agenda in his second term. Watts is an agnostic.

Sincerely,
