I support her for Las Vegas City Council, Ward 2, because she is honest and fair, and never backs down on a challenge to make something better for our community and the people around her.

Holly Robinson

Mom of Five, Scout Leader

I am a retired law enforcement captain and I proudly support Shannon Nordstrom for Las Vegas City Council, Ward 2.

I met Shannon while she was serving as a judge for the City of Las Vegas. Instead of staying behind a bench, she came into the field with me to see firsthand what our unhoused neighbors face every day, including the significant barriers that prevent them from overcoming homelessness such as lack of access to services, transportation challenges, and difficulty navigating complex support systems. She listened, learned, and turned those insights into action.

Shannon worked hand in hand with police officers to develop a restorative justice approach that addressed the root causes of homelessness while offering a path toward stability and dignity. She went on to create the Fresh Start Specialty Court Program, a specialized court initiative that helps homeless individuals transition off the streets through personalized plans and a strong network of community support. This innovative approach gave people a genuine opportunity to rebuild their lives.

Shannon is a leader who gets involved, finds solutions, and delivers results. That’s the kind of dedication Las Vegas needs.

It is my great honor to personally endorse Shannon Nordstrom for Las Vegas City Council, Ward 2.

I have had the privilege of knowing Shannon for more than a decade, during which I have witnessed her integrity, compassion, and steadfast dedication to serving others—both in her professional life and throughout our community. Shannon exemplifies the kind of leadership Las Vegas needs: informed, empathetic, and deeply committed to making a difference.

Her record of service speaks volumes. During her years as a Hearing Commissioner and Alternate Judge with the Las Vegas Municipal Court, and later as Interim Municipal Court Judge in Department 6, Shannon not only presided with fairness and professionalism but also took action to create real, lasting impact.

These efforts changed countless trajectories—helping participants secure housing, employment, and stability.

Beyond her legal and judicial accomplishments, Shannon is a wife, mother, attorney, and active community volunteer who continually invests her time and talents in making Las Vegas a stronger, more compassionate place. Her extensive volunteer work—supporting youth through Scouting, promoting ethics and professional responsibility in the legal field, and assisting organizations focused on veterans, recovery, and underserved populations—demonstrates her unwavering belief in the power of community.
