As a retired police captain, Stavros Anthony knows how important it is to both maintain safe communities across Nevada, as well as to provide our brave men and women in law enforcement, as well as their families, the resources and support they need. As a conservative champion on the Las Vegas City Council, Stavros worked to make sure the city budget was balanced, that funding was available to increase public safety, and that regulations stifling small businesses were eliminated. As our next Lieutenant Governor, Stavros will help lead our state’s economic recovery focusing on small business, continue to fight for safe streets and communities, promoting and advancing tourism, and work to promote election integrity, low taxes, and balanced budgets[11] |
