Jamie Thalgott was first inspired to enter law and government because of her experiences in high school debate class. Developing both a talent and passion for policy debate, she attended Georgetown University, where she interned on Capitol Hill, studied American history and ultimately decided to attend law school.
With a deep understanding of Nevada’s political climate, highly regulated gaming industry, and the effects of each on complex land use and real estate transactions, Thalgott has become known for her legal acumen over her last 13 years of practice. She boasts an impressive résumé of accomplishments, but one of her proudest is the four years she spent as an assistant city attorney for the City of Henderson. She worked with a team that advised the city on everything from land sales to drone policy.
Thalgott is a Nevada native who is deeply committed to giving back to the community. She was recently appointed to serve on the 2024 NAIOP Southern Nevada board of directors and serves as trustee of the Henderson Development Association, the economic development arm of the Henderson Chamber of Commerce. She also donates hundreds of hours of pro bono services for various organizations, primarily in the nonprofit sector.
