I am proud to support him in his race to be Ward 1’s next city councilman and to serve as a co-chair of Women for Dave.”

Marlon founded and built one of the most successful addiction recovery centers in the country in the heart of Southern Nevada. “While at Solutions, I came to understand there are frequently challenges faced by women that need a tailored response. I will work diligently to make the communities in Ward 1 the safest, most inclusive communities in the state,” he said. “I’m honored to have these strong women by my side in this race.”

Dave understands these issues.”
