Las Vegas, Nevada  ·  District F  ·  2026

I'm not a politician. I'm one person who documented everything and decided someone had to say something about it.

If you've been to this site before, you know it's been a lot to take in. That's fair. Try getting hit by a semi and building a legal case from a hospital bed. The chaos was real. The documentation is real. And now there's a structure to it.

I'm running for Clark County Commission not because I'm a politician — I'm not — but because I have the receipts on three problems that are choking the people of this county right now. Housing money that doesn't reach residents. Insurance premiums jacked up on false data. Body cam footage that costs a month's salary to access.

These aren't broad promises. These are three specific documented problems I can prove and address. That's the whole campaign.

To everyone in the chain of causation who did this to me and my wife: no hard feelings. I'm just going to release everything, address these three issues at Tuesday's press conference, and let the record speak for itself. This stopped being about me a while ago.

"Justice shouldn't be for the wealthy. If your wife gets assaulted or you have an interaction you need footage of — you shouldn't have to come up with a month's salary at $17 an hour just to get what another department sends out for $5."

— Joshua Markle

Three Problems. Three Documented Positions. No Promises Without Proof.

```
01

Housing & Illegal Evictions

Federal and state housing dollars flow into Nevada. Clark County residents face illegal eviction anyway. The money exists. The protection doesn't. That gap is not an accident — it's a policy failure with a paper trail.

Full forensic accounting of federal housing tax allocations reaching Clark County. Direct action against unlawful eviction practices that have gone unchallenged at the county level.

02

Insurance Premium Manipulation

Multiple carriers in Nevada are inflating insurance premiums using demonstrably false data. Not an allegation. A documented 131% rate increase imposed on crash survivors built on a data record that doesn't survive scrutiny.

Formal notice was given. It was not corrected. It was not addressed. They didn't adjust — they attacked. That's on record. Mandatory state auditing of rate submissions and public disclosure of the data models carriers rely on.

Public Records Access

LVMPD invoiced a citizen $1,908 for body camera footage of her own interaction with law enforcement — footage she is legally entitled to hold. That footage documented an assault. The invoice is on record. The footage has been obtained.

One California agency sent equally damning footage for $5. The same standard must apply in Clark County. Zero-cost public records access as county policy. Period.

"By helping the people, I end up helping myself. So I guess I just have to help the people — and hopefully everything I've got going on will fall into place. If we address rate manipulation, consumer fraud, and reliance on false data to raise insurance premiums, that's something dramatic for Clark County. That's something real."

AG Office · Jessica Markle

AG Ford — Pre-Service Insertion

Attorney General Aaron Ford inserted himself into a writ of mandamus proceeding before the Division of Insurance had been served — and directed Jessica Markle, who is not a party to the writ, to route all communications through his office. No NRS statute supports this. Division subsequently closed her independent complaint with no stated legal basis.

The AG Situation

Documented. Filed. Not going away.

Pre-Service Interference

The Nevada AG's office threatened sanctions and directed communications through its office before the Division of Insurance had been served with the writ of mandamus. Inserting into a proceeding that hasn't been served on the named party is not a standard litigation posture.

Jessica Markle's Independent Rights

Jessica Markle is not a party to the writ. She filed an independent constituent service complaint as a Nevada citizen. The Division closed her complaint without legal basis. No NRS statute strips a spouse of her independent right to petition her government because her husband filed a constitutional petition.

NRS Chapter 228 · First Amendment · Nevada Constitution Art. 1 §9
NRS 293.710

Candidate interference is a Category E felony under Nevada law. Using force, intimidation, coercion, or undue influence in connection with any election, petition, or voter registration is a criminal offense punishable under NRS 193.130.

A note to Clark County:

I have much love for the American people. For everyone who's visited this site and seen the chaos — hey, get hit by a semi and try to put it together. But we're past that now. This is organized. This is documented. And it's all in service of the same thing: making Clark County work for the people who actually live here.

If we fix the three pillars — the housing gap, the rate manipulation, the records access — my personal situation fixes itself. So that's the plan. Help the people. Everything else follows.
