Adam on the issues
education and
families
-
Collaboration with Clark County Unified School District to improve school funding and advocacy for higher teacher compensation remain top priorities. Additional initiatives include broadening student access to necessary supplies and contemporary technology to alleviate financial burdens on families. Adam asserts that urging the state to establish a lottery program is a significant measure for securing supplementary public-school funding, which could be utilized by the city to reduce costs associated with the “safekey” program, as Adam being raised by a single mother was a “latchkey” kid himself and knows how important these programs are to the community.

With a background in real estate, Adam recognizes the challenges present in today's home buying market. The “American dream” has turned into the American nightmare. In 2025, approximately 30% of corporations acquired single-family dwellings, many of which are now offered as rentals at considerably high monthly rates. This trend has made homeownership increasingly difficult for prospective buyers. Adam proposes addressing this issue through a city-wide ordinance that would restrict corporations from purchasing more than a specified percentage of single-family homes in Henderson. He believes such a measure would help reduce prices and increase opportunities for individuals seeking to achieve homeownership.

Recently, the city council members and the mayor have experienced significant disagreements. Such discord is not conducive to effective governance for the benefit of taxpayers. It is essential that the mayor address conflicts among council members and redirect their focus toward efficiently managing the city's operations.
Growth and
Infrastructure
-
The city should actively support small businesses rather than impose excessive fees on them. Incentivizing business growth for both large and small enterprises, with a particular emphasis on employment opportunities, is essential. One potential measure is to waive the first six months of business licensing and other associated fees to foster small business development locally. Adam supports investment from major companies in Henderson, provided that such investments contribute significantly to job creation. While there is an ongoing discussion regarding the need for additional space, it is equally important to prioritize job growth, as highlighted by examples such as the Google data center on Warm Springs Road.
-
The city of Henderson has faced ongoing difficulties with roadwork, largely due to the impact of heat and desert climate on infrastructure. Extended project timelines have resulted in significant inconvenience for residents, contributing to increased traffic congestion, accidents, and higher auto insurance claims and rates. Adam is committed to thoroughly investigating strategies for completing these projects efficiently and within an appropriate time frame.
-
Adam's vision for the city emphasizes progress and development while preserving its unique charm and small-town atmosphere. He advocates for expanding the city's infrastructure to meet evolving needs, investing in water conservation efforts, supporting solar panel initiatives, and implementing municipally operated electric vehicles—all while ensuring the community remains a warm and inviting place to call home.
Safety and
Governance
-
Henderson is a diverse community. It is essential to elect a mayor who will advocate for residents' rights and ensure local governance is not unduly influenced by state or federal authorities. Adam is committed to maintaining public safety and upholding due process for all individuals. Currently, a governmental contract permits the City of Henderson to house up to 160 ICE detainees in the municipal jail. Adam will prioritize ensuring that only individuals with current or past criminal records are detained at this facility, addressing concerns that 63% of detainees reportedly have no criminal record.
-
Adam is committed to safeguarding both the desert and the city from the detrimental impacts associated with nuclear testing occurring 45 miles from the city center. He will collaborate closely with state and local officials to address concerns related to unwanted nuclear radiation and its effects on the community.
-
Numerous reports indicate that the 911 system is frequently overwhelmed, resulting in call waiting times of three to seven minutes. In critical emergencies, such delays can be life-threatening. Adam aims to reduce response time waits to zero by ensuring immediate call pickup in a city with a population of 330,000+, thereby enhancing public safety.
