Putting Public Safety First: A Shared Priority for Ward 1

In any growing city, public safety must be the foundation of a thriving community. It means ensuring our first responders have the tools, training, and community trust they need to do their jobs effectively.

For Esmeralda, public safety isn't just a talking point—it’s a personal priority. As a homeowner and resident of North Las Vegas, she knows how critical it is to have reliable, community-centered public safety measures in place.

"To receive the endorsement of Councilwoman Garcia-Anderson—and to have the strong backing of our local first responders—is a profound honor," Esmeralda said. "Our police officers, firefighters, and paramedics put their lives on the line for us every single day. On the City Council, I will make sure we are listening to their needs, improving emergency response times, and building safe, trusting relationships between law enforcement and our diverse neighborhoods."

Proven Experience on the Planning Commission

Councilwoman Garcia-Anderson also highlighted Esmeralda’s vital experience as a current Planning Commissioner. In this role, Esmeralda has worked directly on the complex planning and safety standards that dictate how North Las Vegas grows.

She has spent years looking at neighborhood designs, infrastructure planning, and public safety routing, giving her a deep, technical understanding of what it takes to build a secure community. This experience ensures that as Ward 1 grows, it grows intently and safely, leaving no neighborhood or family behind.

The Working-Class Heart of Our Campaign

Esmeralda’s commitment to service comes from her working-class roots. As a proud first-generation American whose father worked in stucco and mother worked as an electrician, she understands the grit and determination of North Las Vegas families. From helping over 100 families achieve the dream of homeownership to serving her community since childhood, Esmeralda is running to lift up every corner of Ward 1.
