Michael Naft chose a career in public service to improve the community. As County Commissioner, Naft is in a unique position to have hands-on participation in a wide variety of industries. Day to day, he is involved in healthcare, public safety, transportation, social and family services, and travel and tourism.
Even though community involvement is his job, Naft finds ways to continue his service to the community on his own time. In addition to his responsibilities on the Las Vegas Convention and Visitor's Authority Board of Directors, the County's Debt Management Commission, the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Fiscal Affairs Committee, and as Chairman of the Big Bend Water District and Clark County Audit Committee, he is also on the Board of Directors of the Anti-Defamation League.
Naft has specific interests in transportation and traffic safety. Working on the team that created the Clark County Office of Traffic Safety, Naft helped implement life-saving policies like the Safe Sidewalk Ordinance. Naft is looking forward to developing a high-speed rail to Southern California to connect communities, decrease traffic and CO2 emissions, and boost the Las Vegas economy. Outside of work, Naft and his wife keep busy with two young children.
