A neighbor. A builder. A leader.

I grew up here, built my business here, and I care deeply about the future of Clark County. We're facing complex and critical issues — and this community deserves leadership that listens, works across boundaries, and puts solutions ahead of politics.

Rooted in Clark County

I’ve spent my life giving back — from founding the county's first search and rescue dog team to building a business from the ground up during the pandemic. I know our community like my own family — it’s been part of my whole life.

Focusing on what matters most to Clark County families.

  • Investing in mental health is investing in our future.

    Homelessness and mental health are deeply connected. Without proper support, too many people fall through the cracks. Lukas will push for coordinated, compassionate solutions that address the real drivers of homelessness in Clark County.

  • We need to address root causes, not just treat symptoms.

    Clark County needs more affordable housing options. Lukas will work to streamline the permitting process and support smart development that keeps housing accessible — without sacrificing the character that makes this county special.

  • Safer communities start with supported officers.

    On public safety, the entire system has to work — law enforcement, the courts, and public defense alike. Without adequate resources across the board, the gaps between them become the places where people fall through. A well-functioning public safety system is inseparable from the broader work of addressing mental health and homelessness— investment in all three branches is essential to real community safety.

  • Growing smart, staying Clark County.

    Lukas has witnessed Clark County's transformation over decades. He's excited to help guide its future — encouraging thoughtful growth and development while protecting the independent, community-minded identity that defines this place.
