The last day for judicial candidates to file is here. As of this morning, there are a 105 candidates filed. You can see who all has filed in Clark County here. You can view state office filings via this page. Thoughts? Predictions? Anything else going on out there today?
Why putting things behind a CAPTCHA validator sucks: you gotta make sure the CAPTCHA is functioning. Is anyone else running into validation errors with the Nevada Supreme Court's website today?
Disco is dead. Blog is alive…barely. Bring in 'da noise, bring in 'da funk.
108. Another competitor in 28.
"Play that funky music …" well, you get the idea
Blair Parker would be great. He should switch to 21 or 23 though.
Or 15 or 20.
or 22 or 31.
Boy I hate to say this. But other than Wesley Yamashita, I do not think I have ever seen a person have a larger swing from really pleasant amiable attorney to nasty jerk on the bench more than Kishner. She is smart and gets it right a great deal. But man has she unnecessarily become nasty.
Conversely Gloria Sturman is a much nicer human being on the bench than she was as an attorney.
Yeah, I like Blair. But not against Coffing.
Coffing is status quo BOG. He may end up being a good judge, but he is not a shoo in.
Blair has some good connections among his partners and otherwise. There is also the mormon vote to consider. He could give Coffing a run for his money.
you may be right 11:27, but there are a couple of other Depts. with some very unknown candidates. I think he might do better there because Coffing will be very well-funded I'm sure.
Coffing cannot run a law firm, and he is responsible for Hoggee. Ah, you no get a vote-o, hole.
Good to see that Coffing's personal BOG troll is alive and well.
I worked with Coffing and consider him a friend. For you to say he can't run a law firm proves your ignorance.
Not to 21. That is one the few races that actually has a competent candidate in it. Tara Clark Newberry would make an excellent judge. She will have my vote!
1:22, you need better friends.
So does 4:53.
Pickering drew 2 opponents. Never heard of them. Anyone for Bulla?
Giad, who?
perennial candidates.
Esther Rodriguez and Tom Christensen.
Ben Nadig filed to run against Susan Holland Johnson. I don't know him, but he has got my vote.
Ditto.
He has my vote. No judge should tell people who to vote for. Thanks, judicial discipline commission.
I see that the entire PD's office is running. In general I'm ok with that, except to the extent someone is running against a judge I like (e.g. Bare). Is this motivated more by frustration with particular judges, or at the DA's office in general? Also, how are they all getting the money to hire Letizia?
There's a group called Emerge that has encouraged women and minorities from the P.D. office to run. And their effort appears to have worked.
I just looked this group up. David Hogg is a co-founder…
Maybe that explains 6 last day filers at 438 E. Sahara?
I see Hardy and Johnson have now drawn opponents.
Now it's getting interesting. Erv Nelson filed against Herndon and Fumo. No one filed against Bulla yet.
Dept 1 is down to Bruce Gale and Bita Yeager. Kind of a vacuum if you ask me.
We've got about three hours of strategic department-hopping and fakeouts to go.
Crystal Eller moved to another race.
No one has filed against Eric Johnson yet which is frightening.
There are now 2 people who have filed against Ron Israel.
You would think a smart candidate would slide over to Dept. 1 than run against a strong incumbent.
Aw, but it's not that easy. Bita Yeager is married to state assemblyman and has name recognition and connection. She will have money to spend and will be tough to beat despite the "marie" thing.
Someone ran against Bulla!
Not that I saw from SOS. Who?
They only update at the end of the day. Call down there and ask and report back
Yes, praise the COA.
Susan Bush filed against Bulla. Anyone know her?
I will vote for Susan, thank you!
It really helped her the last race! A heck of a lot easier than taking on Johnson or Jones.
I am still baffled by the attorney running against Jones, didn't he get 85% in Judging the Judges and the only time he is mentioned on this blog he is suppose to be "good" or "one of the best" judges.
Overall he's a good guy and capable. Not my favorite (those would be Wiese and Denton), but not far behind. Is this another PD running?
He's a PD on the sex crimes team.
These races are turning into a cluster_ _ _ _, the majority of these people running are jokes. You think we were the butt of attorneys all over the nation after Halverson and Walsh, you ain't seen nothing yet.
Yep. In only a few instances has my reaction been one of "hey I'm really glad to see him/her running." Usually it's more one of "oh no, not that douche" or "who the hell is this?"
I see that Gayle Nathan has thrown her hat, or something, into the ring.
124 with just under two hours to go. Mr. 130 from yesterday may turn out to be right.
Maybe someone should ask what is going on at the PD office, that everyone wants to leave. Just what we need people who know nothing about civil cases being Judges, God help us all.
On the other hand there might be lots of job openings over there if this works out for them. Easy paycheck and benefits!
Someone finally filed against Kishner. Don't know that I like the choices there.
Hardy drew an opponent as he should. My money is pouring into his opponent.
I’m running in DC15 and would be happy to have your support.
Please email me with any questions about my candidacy. Teganchristine4judgelv@gmail.com
"Anna Albertson," who just filed against Villani, is Yianna Reizakis. Good Lord. I have to give all my money to Villani now, and I don't even like him all that much. In some of these races it's going to be a matter of knowing who is the evil of two lessers.
I don't know her well enough to comment on that, but that's quite a name difference. I would never have put 2 and 2 together even after seeing that her full first name was Yianna.
She would be like Kishner, but not as laid back and with less humility.
Her running shows you truly do not need qualifications to run. When she realized she could not hack it in family court (which she was running and hardly practices family law) she switched names and jumped to a different court.
She filed in Family Court under the same name. And like it or not, candidates that can run under (1) clearly female names and (2) higher in the alphabet do better in elections.
I know her and would say she's extremely qualified for both courts. She simply changed her mind and preferred civil/criminal court. Also, she got married, thus the name change. How is it evil to run under her married name? Anna is short for Yianna. If Michael ran under Mike, would he be evil too?
As a civil lawyer, it is concerning to me how many PD candidates and folks without trial experience are running
Many, if not most, of the PD candidates, like the DA candidates, have a lot more trial experience than most civil lawyers. They certainly have more courtroom time. There are more judges with a civil background than those with a background in criminal cases. On balance, we can use more judges with criminal law experience.

Opponents of incumbents, post your webs or facebooks up hers for our support.
I guess no one else is posting, but I will. Happy to have your support! I’m running in DC 15.

No one ran against Sturman?
