Because of the experience Ira brings - three decades as a small businessman - the Reno Sparks Chamber of Commerce proudly endorsed Ira Hansen. An understanding of the day to day realities of business is a crucial component in the battle to revive our economy and stimulate job creation for our community. Ira’s success as a businessman and contributions to our community make him the obvious choice to shape a successful business environment in our great state.

As a local businessman, Ira is a proud member of the Better Business Bureau, the Builders Association of Western Nevada, the Nevada Federation of Independent Businesses, the Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration, the International Association of Plumbing and Mechanical Officers, and is even officially endorsed by the American General Contractors—Nevada Chapter.

Starting in his childhood, Ira learned the value of hard work and determination and after graduating from Sparks High School, Ira married his sweetheart and began his life in business. Ira opened his own business and through hard work and tenacity, grew the business into one of the leading service companies in the Reno/Sparks area. He now owns three companies, has been a licensed contractor for over 24 years, and is a proud contributor to the economy of our community.

Ira’s understanding of the challenges business owners face makes him an invaluable asset in the Nevada legislature. Rather than a purely theoretical understanding of economics and business, Ira brings the value of real life experience to a dangerously unbalanced legislature.
