Culinary’s ability to move the meter politically in 2018 can’t be overstated. Since the turn of the century, its programs have helped more than 16,000 immigrants become U.S. citizens with voting rights to match. The changing demographics of Southern Nevada puts the union in a prime position to effectively exercise its power at the ballot box and in the campaign field, where it’s able to quickly mobilize throngs of volunteers.
Culinary has grown and evolved along with Las Vegas. It has fought for, and now clearly demands, a respected seat at the casino-resort industry’s economic table.
