⚖ Gov. Joe Lombardo Appoints Erika Mendoza to District Court, Filling Vacant Judicial Seat
Governor Joe Lombardo has appointed Erika Mendoza, a former prosecutor, as the judge of Department 27 in District Court. This appointment comes after the retirement of Nancy Allf, who served the court for nearly 13 years, mainly overseeing civil cases. Mendoza, a Boyd Law School graduate of 2011, has been with the Clark County district attorney’s office since September 2011, contributing to various units including the gun crimes, general litigation, and appellate teams.
The selection process for the Department 27 seat saw seven applicants, from which Mendoza emerged as the choice among the top three nominees put forward to Governor Lombardo. To continue serving beyond the appointment, Mendoza is required to run in the November general election for the remaining term, which concludes in January 2027.
This judicial seat had inadvertently been included in an earlier ballot, leading to an unofficial declaration of vacancy and the filing of two candidates for the position. A special candidate filing period is anticipated from June 17 to July 26 to address this oversight.
Since his election, Governor Lombardo has made several judicial appointments, including former prosecutor Danielle Pieper to Department 7, private attorney Jacob Reynolds to Department 29, and former family law attorneys Paul Gaudet and Regina McConnell to Family Court.
