Dock Walls, a Las Vegas business owner, answers our questions below.
In April, City Cast Las Vegas invited all qualified mayoral candidates to respond to a questionnaire so that our readers could get to know them a little better. All candidates were sent the same questions, and given a 600 character-count limit. As you'll see, some questions are a little more policy-oriented and some are a little more fun!
Read the rest of the questionnaire responses here.
1. What is the single most pressing issue facing the City of Las Vegas? Why?
"Public Safety. Crime is rising. Residents must feel safe in order to enjoy everything this fine city has to offer."
2. Why is the Mayor of Las Vegas an important role for everyone living in the Valley?

3. Buskers at the Fremont Street Experience: yea or nay?
"Properly registered Buskers can enhance the experience of Fremont Street for residents and visitors, alike."
