Democrat Jesse James is challenging incumbent John Blom for Clark County Council, Position 3. James' top priorities include ensuring that development doesn't become urban sprawl and reforming law enforcement. Specifically, James wants to remove qualified immunity from officers and create a crisis intervention program so that medics and crisis workers can attend to non-violent and non-emergency 911 calls. In his interview with the Fuse local council, James emphasized the need to make as few cuts as possible to social services in the upcoming reduced budget, support ADUs and affordable housing, and push back against widespread, non-dense development in the county.
James is running against incumbent John Blom, who has served as a fairly moderate voice on the council in his first term. Elected as a Republican in 2016, Blom is now running with no party preference. In our interview with Blom, he stated that his top priorities are affordable housing, livable communities, and the budget. While Blom is also focused on growth and transportation, he has not - and is not expected to - support more progressive ideas for the county.
