Which Nevadan Do You Most Respect?

“Governor Mike O’Callaghan. He was the most extraordinary public servant I ever met.”

“The Nevadan I admire most is Estelle Murphy, retiring executive director of Safe Nest. She has empowered tens of thousands of domestic violence victims to move from crisis to confidence over the past 40 years.”

“Former Henderson Mayor Jim Gibson, for his direction to the City during its rapid growth from 1997 to 2009.  Much of what is good in Henderson (parks, trails, master planned communities) can be attributed to his leadership 20 years ago.”
Scott Seegmiller | Managing Partner, Ascent Multifamily Accounting

“Barbara Vucanovich. She was the first woman to represent Nevada in the U.S. House of Representatives. [She was] distinguished but I remember as a young girl when she would come to Ely and actually spend time there during campaigns. She didn’t seem like a politician. I was and still am impressed.”
