My Take
Shelley Berkley strikes me as a study in stamina. From a New York-born lawyer to six terms in Congress for Nevada, and now mayor of Las Vegas since 2024, she has run a remarkably long political race that most could not sustain. What impresses me is the pairing of legal rigor with the nerve required to govern a city as singular as Las Vegas. I admire public figures who keep showing up decade after decade, and at her age she remains firmly in the arena. To me she embodies durable, unglamorous leadership of the kind that actually keeps places running.
