Shondra Summers-Armstrong is a
Leader Rooted in Ward 5
Shondra Summers-Armstrong has deep roots in this community, having lived and worked in Ward 5 for over two decades.
Shondra knows that what matters most are results—results that come from her connection to the people here, bringing them together, listening, and collaborating to make things happen. As she knocks on her neighbor’s doors and meets many face-to-face, she has been filled with gratitude for the hard-working people in her community. Shondra has listened to their hopes and dreams for a better tomorrow and heard heartwarming stories about their families and the obstacles they have overcome.
When Shondra was in sixth grade during one of the lessons on politics and the electoral process, her teacher asked who in the class would like to be president of the United States.
Shondra raised her hand, and the teacher immediately turned to her and said she could never be president – reasoning that she was a girl.
While her dream had been squashed, years later Shondra recognized the strength of her convictions and her advocacy for her community would propel her forward.
It has been her great honor and privilege to proudly work on behalf of the residents in Ward 5, particularly as the Assembly District 6 representative in the Nevada State Legislature.
Shondra has a proven track record of working with neighbors, activists, union members, and faith-based organizations to illuminate the resident’s issues that have historically been ignored. Years prior, as a member of ‘Stop the F Street Closure LLC,’ Shondra worked hard from 2008 to its reopening in 2016 to keep her neighborhood streets accessible. She recognized the importance of ensuring this and other vital neighborhood streets remained a key gateway for redevelopment and business growth in the Historic West Las Vegas community.
Shondra and her husband Karl have been married for 30 years and raised their three sons in the Ward 5 neighborhood and the public school system.
A woman has never been elected to Ward 5 on the Las Vegas City Council. So, Shondra is asking constituents to examine her activism, her track record, and her long-established commitment to this community and vote for her in November. As your Councilmember, she will work tirelessly to ensure we all enjoy a safer, more affordable, and prosperous Las Vegas.
