MEET LYDIA
Lydia Dominguez is a mother, U.S. Air Force veteran, author, and advocate for education and Latino family values. Born in Juarez, Mexico, and raised in El Paso, Texas, she became a U.S. citizen as a teenager. Growing up in a working-class household, she was inspired by her mother, a high school graduate, and her father, a construction worker who completed only a sixth-grade education.
As a teen mom, Lydia balanced the challenges of raising two sons while continuing her higher education and working to build a stable future for her family. She proudly served in the U.S. Air Force, where she served for ten years as a Flight Chief of Personnel (E-6), with her final assignment at Creech Air Force Base in Indian Springs.
Beyond her military career, Lydia is an author and advocate. In 2020, she published Don't Turn Back, a survival guide for women escaping domestic violence.
As Southwest Regional Director for Latinos For America First, Lydia advocated for Latino civic engagement, education reform, and economic opportunity, ensuring Hispanic communities had a voice in key decisions. She also serves on Lieutenant Governor Stavros Anthony’s Task Force to Protect Women’s Sports, working to uphold fairness and integrity in athletics.
Lydia Dominguez was elected to the Clark County School District (CCSD) Board of Trustees on November 5, 2024. She earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Business Management from American Military University. She was appointed in 2023, and 2024 to the Attendance Zone Advisory Committee (AZAC), helping manage school zoning for Las Vegas' growing communities and campus capacities.
As a CCSD Trustee, Lydia is focused on school safety, expanding career and technical education, and increasing accountability in the education system to ensure students receive the highest quality education possible.
