Steve Wolfson was clearly the most articulate and intelligent of the bunch. He has more prosecutorial experience and is the ONLY one elected in any capacity, and has been three times.
Steve gets my vote
John Hunt is incoherent at times, claiming the law, unspecified, is unconstitutional, and not making much sense. He is too old to keep referencing what his mother and father said to him while he was growing up. He is far too partisan, and too pro-criminal.
Drew Christensen is a lifelong public employee. That is not meant as a compliment. He also was the attorney for the biggest case of legal malpractice in Nevada, and Jon Ralston did not even mention it. Simply put, picking such a person would make Las Vegas a laughingstock. Imagine learning that the Los Angeles or New York District Attorney sent an innocent man to prison for 14 years? You would question the sanity of the voters. Here, the County Commissioners would have another reason to question their sanity. Also, Drew runs a very shoddy office. He is over budget, and it is common knowledge amoing contract aqttorneys that Drew has a harem of favorites that he persistently appoints to high paying contracts. He has NO system for the equitable appointment of couunsel, which makes him a bad administrator. His wife is a Chief Deputy DA, so Drew's lambasting the DA office for its inefficiencies is tantamount to blaming his own wife, since she is one of the honchos over there. Drew is a bad administrator, and a bad lawyer.
