Laughlin Town Advisory Board - Martin Knauss - Nonpartisan office

Name: Martin Knauss

Office: Laughlin Town Advisory Board

Party Affiliation: Nonpartisan office

Information provided by the candidate:

• Graduated from Mohave High in Bullhead City. I retired in 2014 after 35 years working for a multi-national company in various locations around the world. Returned to live in Laughlin in late 2014. Have served on the LTAB Public Works Committee since January 2016.

Things I plan to focus on if I am elected are:

1. Encourage our state legislators to change the current law that restricts the ability for communities to incorporate into a city.

2. Understand what state or county regulations/codes discourage services/businesses from locating in Laughlin. If there is economic viability for a grocery store, medical facility, etc. we need to reduce/remove impediments.

3.  Highlight the unfinished building eyesore on Casino Drive to encourage the County Commissioners to address it with the owners.
