    How Mayoral Candidate Shelley Berkley Would Approach Homelessness in Las Vegas
    Oct 21 2024
    The election for Mayor of Las Vegas is arguably the most high-profile down-ballot race coming up next month, and we’ve been hearing a lot from the two candidates, Shelley Berkley and Victoria Seaman. While most interviews address homelessness on a surface level, we invited both candidates to have an in-depth conversation focused on one of the most important issues in Las Vegas — from the public camping ban to how they would reform our city’s underdeveloped resources. First up today is former Nevada Congresswoman Shelley Berkley. Be sure to tune in tomorrow for Councilwoman Victoria Seaman’s solutions and thoughts on homelessness in Las Vegas.
