Sigal Chattah
bio says she’s Jewish. We Republicans never used to have female Jewish lawyers on our side. If she wins, it could be interesting

She struts across the stage like a rock star, music blaring in the background, camera in hand taking video of the crowd.
“Who’s ready to bring the fire to Douglas County?” she yells. The crowd cheers. “Smells like a red wave.”
But Republican candidate for attorney general Sigal Chattah is no rock star. Her greatest hits (or misses, depending on your perspective) include declaring her opponent, Attorney General Aaron Ford, a Black man, “should be hanging from a f–king crane”; longing for fewer “pronoun badges” and transgender individuals in America, while describing them with an offensive slur; and inviting comparisons with Sen. Joe McCarthy and former Pres. Donald Trump by calling for the imprisonment of political foes.
Chattah insists she’s never considered apologizing to Ford for what was widely viewed as a racist comment.
“I think he’s a corrupt public official and I think he’s betrayed Nevadans. I’m not going to apologize for that,” she said.
Ford has refused to engage with Chattah, choosing instead to focus on his own accomplishments, including securing a $284 million settlement over opiods.
On the campaign trail, Chattah’s blamed Ford for all things crime-related, from fentanyl use in rural counties to the recent fatal stabbing of a showgirl and a tourist on the Las Vegas Strip.
The sheriff of Las Vegas, Republican gubernatorial candidate Joe Lombardo, is held harmless in her indictment.
“The best thing that could happen to an attorney general like myself is to have the sheriff of Clark County be my running mate and our next governor,” Chattah told the crowd at a recent rally with Trump in Douglas County.
But in a quieter moment in her Las Vegas office, Chattah said if elected, she’ll be a bipartisan nightmare for anyone engaged in public corruption.

Rush used to say “given the scaredy cat nature of the Republican party”...looks like it doesn’t apply here.
“The sheriff of Las Vegas, Republican gubernatorial candidate Joe Lombardo, is held harmless in her indictment”.
So, the author is unaware that Lombardo is sheriff of NORTH LV, or deliberately misleading?
And the strip is NOT in NLV.
Smells like hit piece to me.
Ford ain’t the guy.
Clark county sheriff would include, well, all of Clark county. In any case sissypants needs to go.
Understatement!
Amazing.
That’s how I read it. Good catch.
She says she’ll investigate Trump, his Nevada band of fake electors (including Nevada Republican party boss Michael McDonald), and look into whether Lombardo, her “running mate,” has adequately policed his own department.
Chattah says if elected, she’d “absolutely” investigate Trump. “I don’t care whether you have an ‘R’ or a ‘D’ by your name. If you’re in a criminal enterprise, public corruption, you’re getting investigated.”

I don’t know what you are getting at. A sheriff is a county position. Las Vegas and North Las Vegas are both in Clark
County, Nevada, so the sheriff of one is the sheriff of the other.
Las VegasMetro PD is unified with Clark Sheriff’s Department. Lombardo is the head of both.
So why do I continually see Sisolacks buddy Lombardo referenced as NLV Sheriff?
Just glad I am hundreds of miles north!
Can’t help you there. News sources are not noted for accuracy. I too am glad to be elsewhere than Vegas. It used to be nice in 1970.
