Former CCSD trustee (D) challenges incumbent (D) in Nevada State Board of Education race

n District 3, which covers northwest Las Vegas, Nevada State Board of Education member René Cantú is running against former Clark County School Board trustee Danielle Ford. Felicia Ortiz, the current elected board member representing District 3, decided not to run for reelection.

Cantú is the executive director of Jobs for Nevada Graduates, which targets vulnerable youth and helps them finish high school. He currently represents District 4 on the state board, but because of the political redistricting process in 2021 is now running in District 3.

The Latin Chamber of Commerce, Vegas Chamber, Make the Road Nevada Action, Nevada Veterans Association, and the Clark County Education Association have endorsed Cantú. ...

Running against Cantú is Danielle Ford, who served a term on the Clark County School Board from 2018 to 2022 before being unseated by Irene Bustamante Adams.

She has remained outspoken and involved in education since leaving office, and now runs a podcast called “Unraveling Education.”
