Clark County officials say they received a dozen applications by Thursday's deadline to fill an Assembly seat left open after a Republican lawmaker announced he'd take a job in the attorney general's office.
A new legislator could be named at a Dec. 16 commission meeting. Candidates must live in Assembly District 37, which is situated in the northwest part of the Las Vegas Valley, and be a Republican.
The call for applications came after Wesley "Wes" Duncan announced he would resign his seat to become second in command to Attorney General-elect Adam Laxalt. Duncan served one term in the Assembly before being re-elected in November.
Applicants are Glenn Trowbridge, Charles Harvey, Brian Hardy, Donald Graham, Chris Meservey, Aretta "Betty" Rumford, Jearld "Jerry" Hafen, Brian Patchett, Bill Cimo, Stan Parry, Rob Lauer and Rene Cantu Jr.
Trowbridge ran for a seat on the Las Vegas City Council in 2009, but lost by 10 votes to Stavros Anthony.
Cimo, Graham, Trowbridge, Hardy and Hafen all applied for the Senate District 6 seat vacated by Lieutenant Governor-Elect Mark Hutchison, however, Nevada Gaming Control Board chairman Mark Lipparelli was selected.
