Letter: Candidate takes exception

It is unfortunate that the Sun, in an editorial focusing on possible lack of competence on the part of a 17-year-old running for public administrator, lumps the story with an attack on my bi-state candidacies.

Having been involved with Las Vegas since moving here almost 30 years ago, I will bring to the office over 35 years of law practice, administration of million-dollar estates, service as a federal financial analyst and as a city prosecutor, and have exceptional credentials to be a strong public administrator.

I am currently briefing cases in the California and Nevada supreme courts, and will be the most active public administrator Clark County has ever seen. The Sun should not boost -- nor belittle -- candidates until after the voters pick the nominees on Sept. 3.
