Nevada State Assemblywoman Rochelle Nguyen was appointed to serve the constituents of District 10 in December 2018. She is the first democratic Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) to serve in the Nevada Legislature. She has taken the role of trailblazer seriously as a member of the first female majority legislature in the country as well as taking on establishing the first AAPI caucus in the state of Nevada. Rochelle moved to Las Vegas over 20 years ago and believes that our diversity is what makes Nevada a great place to live and raise a family. She watched her parents work multiple jobs to make sure she and her younger sister had access to a great education. Rochelle knows first hand the doors a good education can unlock and was first in her family to graduate college and then attend law school. Rochelle earned her law degree from the University of Nevada, Las Vegas and is a practicing attorney. She and her husband are the proud parents of two children who attend public schools. Rochelle serves on multiple committees in the legislature including Judiciary, Health and Human Services, and Growth and Infrastructure Committees.
- I believe in collaboration and making sure that everyone has a seat at the table.
- I am a problem solver. We need more outside the box ideas.
- I learn the most from listening to the experiences of others.
Working in the criminal justice field, I have seen first hand the consequences of food insecurity for children, the need for improvements and access to mental and physical healthcare, failures in our education system and other root cause problems. So, while, I have worked on improving our justice system, I have also worked on improving access to affordable health care and improving public education.

Scorecards
A scorecard evaluates a legislator’s voting record. Its purpose is to inform voters about the legislator’s political positions. Because scorecards have varying purposes and methodologies, each report should be considered on its own merits. For example, an advocacy group’s scorecard may assess a legislator’s voting record on one issue while a state newspaper’s scorecard may evaluate the voting record in its entirety.
Ballotpedia is in the process of developing an encyclopedic list of published scorecards. Some states have a limited number of available scorecards or scorecards produced only by select groups. It is Ballotpedia’s goal to incorporate all available scorecards regardless of ideology or number.
