My people face danger every single day.” Recognizing the tremendous measures officers take to de-escalate dangerous situations and preserve life, McMahill presented honorees with their well-deserved medals. In a special acknowledgment, he presented the “Sheriff’s Honors: Best of Staff” Award to Assistant Sheriff Yaz Yatomi, who consistently prioritizes police officers and the community she serves.

Several candidates are vying for the position, but if the turnout at a private fundraiser held Tuesday for Shelley Berkley is any indication, her chances look excellent. The gathering drew the “Who’s Who” of Las Vegas — and for good reason. Of all the candidates, Berkley brings the most experience, with a lengthy career that included time in the Legislature, on the Board of Regents, and in Congress.

Local Business Leader Pledges His Support in 2024 Mayoral Race
Las Vegas, January 22, 2024 – The year 2024 will prove to be a crucial one in the election cycle, not only at the national level, but also in state and local government. In the race for Las Vegas Mayor, candidates are seeking to replace termed-out Mayor Carolyn Goodman after she and her husband, Oscar Goodman, have held the role for a combined 25 years. The Goodmans’ reign mainly focused on revitalizing and expanding downtown Las Vegas, as well as bringing professional sports teams to the valley.
With Mayor Carolyn Goodman termed out, many people have thrown their hats in the ring, including former Rep. Shelley Berkley, a seven-time U.S. congresswoman and lifelong Las Vegan. In a candidate forum held last October, Las Vegas mayor hopefuls discussed issues plaguing the city, including pervasive homelessness, mediocre public schools, rising property crime statistics, and soaring housing costs. In presenting their individual plans, they detailed the priorities for their first 100 days in office.
Of all the candidates, Berkley brings the most experience, with a lengthy career that included time in the Legislature, on the Board of Regents, and in Congress. Berkley has pointed to her long history in elected office, indicating that it’s crucial to elect someone who will have a “steady hand at the helm” of Las Vegas’s growth. “My congressional district overlaid the city of Las Vegas,” explains Berkley, “so there isn’t anything that was happening in the city that I wasn’t intimately involved in.”
Local businessman Antonio Accornero feels that Shelley Berkley is the most qualified candidate for the position of Mayor, and he invited Berkley and her husband to have dinner with him at one of his restaurants, in order to hear the candidate’s plans for the city. “Our public education system is one of the worst in the country,” lamented Accornero, “and we really have a problem with homelessness, which affects every sector of our city. We need to address these issues now, for Las Vegas to successfully grow over the coming years.”
Municipal Court Judge Candidate Rebecca Wolfson Holds Campaign Kickoff Event
Las Vegas, January 18, 2024 – The 2024 campaign season has officially begun, and judicial candidates are already vying for votes. On the heels of filing her candidacy for Municipal Court Judge, Department 5, Rebecca Wolfson hosted her campaign kickoff at Siegel’s Bagelmania Thursday evening. Countless prominent guests attended the event to support the candidate, but none as important to her as her parents, current Clark County District Attorney Steve Wolfson and retired Judge Jackie Glass. The event also drew various Las Vegas leaders in professions ranging from legal and political to law enforcement and business.
Local entrepreneur Antonio Accornero attended Thursday’s gathering and has pledged his support of Wolfson for Judge. “I believe that Rebecca is the best candidate for Municipal Court Judge,” said Accornero. “She will bring a fresh perspective to the judiciary and will prove to be a leader in her field.” Former U.S. Representative for Nevada’s 1st congressional district and current 2024 Las Vegas Mayoral candidate Shelley Berkley was also present in a show of support for Wolfson’s campaign.

As a prominent member of the community with various businesses in Las Vegas, Mr. Accornero was invited to take part in the recent meeting, in order to provide insight into what he feels are vital issues to discuss. “I think it’s important for local business owners to work with the LVMPD to address the concerns we see every day,” said Accornero. “I’m always here to lend a helping hand and offer my support.”

In attendance once again this year was Las Vegas entrepreneur Antonio Accornero, who continually sponsors LVMPD events. “It’s really an honor for me to support the men and women of Metro,” said Accornero. “Throughout the years, I’ve been able to work very closely with the Department, and each year, I gain a deeper appreciation for the heroes of the LVMPD.” Contributions from civic-minded business leaders like Accornero enable officers to better protect communities and reduce crime across Clark County.
