Assemblywoman Barbara Buckley
Speaker of the Assembly
Clark County
District # 8
Attorney
Speaker Buckley was first elected in 1994. She served as
Majority Leader during 2001, 2003 and 2005, the first woman to hold this
position. She was elected Speaker in 2007, also the first woman in this
position, and she was re-elected Speaker for the 2009 session. During her
tenure in the legislature, she has chaired the Assembly Commerce Committee, the
Nevada Legislative Commission and the Committee on Children, Youth and
Families.
Speaker Buckley represents Assembly District 8, a diverse
district that includes Chinatown and older, established neighborhoods in
central/western Las Vegas.
Because of term limits, Speaker Buckley will be leaving the
Assembly at the end of this term. Her commitment and expertise on consumer
protection issues particularly the patients bill of rights, creating access to
Canadian prescription drugs and stopping predatory lending as well as her work
on child welfare issues will be sorely missed.
