  • Session Spotlight Newsletter May 28, 2021
    May 28, 2021 The final weekend of the 2021 Legislative Session has arrived. Nevada has officially transferred from the Nevada Plan to the Pupil Centered Funding Formula and the K-12 education budget has been passed by the legislature so we now have some understanding of what the landscape will look like for the next two years. With three full days remaining of the 81st legislative session, lots of bills are still awaiting votes from either committees or the full floor. Legislators will work extremely long hours over the next few days to finish their business before the clock strikes midnight on Monday night. As bills pass the legislature, they are sent to the Governor’s Office for a signature. A list of bills currently signed by Governor Steve Sisolak can be found clicking here (the list of bills tracked by CCSD also indicates which has been signed under the status tab). The Clark County School District (CCSD) is tracking all bills closely to see how they may impact the District. One important pending item is a final floor vote to pass the bond rollover extension that allows school districts to continue building new schools and modernizing current school facilities. Before we get to a few of this week’s highlights, just a reminder to take a look at the “Want to Learn More” section at the end of this Session Spotlight newsletter. While the 2021 Legislative Session is coming to a close, legislators' work is never done. Information can be found in the “Want to Learn More” section regarding the committee work that takes place during the interim between legislative sessions.

  • Election 2016 Races to Watch the Power of Latino Candidates Executive Summary
    ELECTION 2016 RACES TO WATCH THE POWER OF LATINO CANDIDATES EXECUTIVE SUMMARY In Election 2016, Latinos will continue their progress as leaders of their communities by seeking positions in Congress, statewide offices, and state legislatures across the nation. Latino candidates are demonstrating that they can successfully pursue seats in the executive and legislative branches of government throughout the country, where some of the most important decisions are made about the policies that affect the lives of all Americans. Additionally, Latinos are achieving new milestones in their efforts to attain full representation at the federal and state level. This Election Profile focuses on key federal and state races involving Latino candidates in the general election on November 8, 2016. Latinos are running for top offices in 38 states. The geographic diversity of Latino candidates demonstrates that Latinos are mobilizing for political progress in both the traditional Latino population centers, and in regions with emerging Latino communities such as the Plains States, the Midwest, the Deep South, and New England. Latinos in the U.S. Senate: The number of Latinos in the U.S. Senate could increase from three to five, if all competitive contenders win their bids (incumbent U.S. Senators Ted Cruz (R-TX) and Robert Menendez (D-NJ) are not up for re-election in 2016). With the partisan balance of power in the U.S. Senate at stake, two of the races are considered particularly crucial for both political parties. In Florida, incumbent U.S. Senator Marco Rubio (R) faces a challenge from U.S. Rep. Patrick Murphy (D).
