Douglas County Commissioner Danny Tarkanian Announces Candidacy for Nevada Attorney General
Douglas County Commissioner Danny Tarkanian has officially declared his intention to run for Nevada Attorney General, currently held by Aaron D. Ford. Tarkanian, a seasoned political figure, previously contested the 2018 Republican primary against Dean Heller but shifted his focus to the Nevada Congressional District 3 race, which he ultimately lost. He was elected to the Douglas County Commission in 2020 and has made a name for himself as a staunch advocate for public safety and constitutional integrity.
In his announcement, Tarkanian emphasized that Nevadans deserve an Attorney General who prioritizes public safety and justice. “I have never backed down from a fight, especially when it comes to standing up for Nevadans against powerful special interests,” he stated, showcasing his commitment to leadership grounded in principles rather than political convenience. His campaign promises to champion justice and fairness, emphasizing a willingness to take unpopular stances for the greater good.
Tarkanian’s entry into the race adds to an already competitive lineup for the Attorney General position; earlier this month, State Treasurer Zach Conine also announced his candidacy for the role, planning to run in 2026. Conine, who has been in office since 2018 and is serving his second term, will likely pose a formidable challenge as both candidates vie for support within the Republican Party and among Nevada voters.
As the election cycle heats up, Tarkanian’s campaign highlights a vital choice for Nevadans on issues of public trust and accountability in leadership, setting the stage for what promises to be a compelling race for the state’s top legal position.
