Three candidates vie for seat on District Court
Las Vegas attorney Terry Coffing and attorney Alexandra Beth McLeod are challenging newly-appointed Judge Erika Mendoza in the special election for Dept. 27 in Clark County District Court, which came about as a result of the resignation of Judge Nancy Allf.
Allf resigned after judicial filing closed, paving the way for Mendoza’s appointment and the subsequent special election, in which the candidate with the most votes wins.
Coffing has been practicing in Nevada for more than three decades. He served as managing partner for Marquis Aurbach for 25 years.
“I’m the only candidate in the race with experience in criminal and civil cases,” he said during an interview, adding Dept. 27 took on a solely criminal docket to accommodate Mendoza, a career prosecutor appointed to the bench this year by Gov. Joe Lombardo to fill the remainder of Allf’s term.
