Stavros Anthony has been a close friend of the Indian community since he served as a Captain with the Las Vegas Metro. Anthony began his career with Metro Police in 1980 and most recently served the community as a captain overseeing the department’s Financial and Property Crimes Bureau. During his tenure at the Metro, Anthony attended the FBI National Academy in Quantico, Va. Anthony earned an M.A. and Ph.D. from UNLV, and his commitment to higher education got him elected to the Board of Regent Nevada System of Higher Education. After serving two terms as Regent, Anthony got elected to the Las Vegas City Council. He was appointed Mayor Pro Tem by Mayor Carolyn Goodman and served in that capacity for multiple years.

In 2022, Anthony was elected to the Lt. Governor of Nevada. Anthony currently serves as the President of the NV State Senate. His job responsibilities as Lt. Gov. include economic development, tourism, transportation, and more. In conversation with members of the Indian community, Anthony is keen on taking a business trade delegation to India to strengthen ties in high-tech, tourism, and other areas of mutual economic activities.
