Tony T. Smith was born and raised in Las Vegas and has been an active member of the community. As a former retail employee living paycheck-to-paycheck, Tony understands the frustration of working hard but not getting ahead. That is why he is the only candidate in the race for Nevada Assembly District 4 advocating for policies that will help working and middle class Nevadans, such as a living wage for every Nevadan working full-time, debt-free higher education (bachelors, associates, technical degree, or certification), and preparing for the changes to our economy caused by increasing automation and expanding use of AI (2/3 of current jobs in Vegas are expected to be lost due to automation by 2035).
