Josh Santeramo has called Las Vegas and Henderson his home for 19 years. Born into a family of immigrants on his mother's side and raised by a stepfather who served in the Navy, he attended the famed De La Salle High School before completing undergraduate studies at the University of California, Davis. During his formative years, he developed his calling for public service, influenced by his experiences with the unhoused and his own upbringing as a child in a working class household. As a teenager, he volunteered with the St. Anthony's Foundation serving meals, and worked with Habitat for Humanity and his local church to build affordable housing. While in college, he joined the organization Student Action for Veterans Equity (SAVE) in their fight to pass the Filipino Veterans Fairness Act and serve local Filipino veteranos and their families struggling with medical, food, and housing insecurity. He also joined with volunteer groups committed to the reopening of the I-Hotel in 2005, taking part in street teams that went into the community to sign up individuals for housing voucher programs, while also volunteering in his county's Probate Courts and Guardianship Clinics. He attended law school here at the University of Nevada, William S. Boyd School of Law, graduating with the Class of 2010. He has now served as an attorney in Clark County for the past 15 years. He began his career in private practice, litigating personal injury, employment, and criminal defense matters. After ten years, he made the decision to return to his public service for the State with Nevada Attorneys for Injured Workers, an agency dedicated to serving members of the public who have had their benefits denied. He currently serves as a Senior Deputy Attorney with the agency.
