Charlie Melvin

Director of Public Relations

Charlie Melvin joined the board of Power2Parent in 2015 a few months after it's formation. Growing up in Las Vegas since 1987 and with a majority of her family having immigrated to Nevada from Mexico City in the 60's, her deep roots here created her passion for politics, the importance of the family unit, and Nevada. Charlie began working in the public affairs field in 2015 for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints and recently formed a small social media business in 2018. Concerned about the school district she grew up in, she wanted to fight for better education for her four children. Guarding parental rights in education, protecting religious freedom, and preserving the Constitution are of utmost importance to her. ​
