Connect the Dots: The Money Trail

1. The Educator-Legislator Conflict

Selena Torres is a teacher at the Clark County School District. She simultaneously sits on the powerful Assembly Education Committee and Assembly Government Affairs Committee. This means she votes directly on the budgets, salaries, and regulations that affect her own daily employer (CCSD) and her own union (CCEA).

2. Donor Sectors → Legislation

Her top donors heavily feature the exact unions that lobby her committees:

• CCEA (Clark County Education Association): One of her top overall donors.
• Engineers Political Education Committee: Another top donor block.
• Citizens for Justice Trust: Trial lawyers PAC pumping money into her campaign.

She votes consistently to increase budgets for her own public-sector union benefactors.

3. Lobbyist Spending — Where the Money Goes

Her campaign committee spent a total of $573,888.09. Of that, $5,505.00 went directly to registered Carson City lobbyists. Instead of just funding a grassroots campaign, she is circulating money back to the insider lobbying class.
