The evaluations focus on votes on taxes, regulations, housing affordability, public safety, infrastructure, and other critical local priorities.

“Publishing these Council scorecards is an important step in increasing government accountability right here at home,” said Leslie Lewallen, director of Future 42 Clark County. “Voters deserve straightforward information to make informed decisions. These annual scorecards will serve as a reliable, year-over-year resource to track performance and encourage policies that help Clark County families and businesses thrive.”

The scorecards are publicly available on the Future 42 website at future42.org/clarkscorecards and include detailed breakdowns of key votes and actions, along with explanations of the criteria used for evaluation. Future 42 Clark County plans to update and release the scorecards annually to support ongoing education and engagement efforts.

Future 42 Clark County invites residents, media, and community leaders to review the scorecards and participate in the conversation about building a more prosperous future for the region.
