Rolando Cruz was born in Puerto Rico and was raised in New York.

He moved to North Las Vegas in 2005 from another part of the valley and said that he loved it so much that he decided to stay.

Cruz studied film at Hunter College, but eventually joined the workforce as a super market manager in the 1990s.

Cruz currently works as a regional representative for a chemical company that services area Wal-Mart stores.

"I know the people that live in this ward, their business and living conditions," Cruz said. "I feel like I am more of a representative of the community at large and could be an effective council person in moving agendas forward."

Cruz has been married for six years and is the father of three children.
