Secretary of State Ross Miller touted his work enforcing Nevada election law while his opponent Adam Laxalt pointed to his experience in military law in a debate over who should be Nevada's next attorney general.
Democrat Miller and Republican Laxalt squared off Saturday morning at the annual Nevada Press Association convention in North Las Vegas.
The 38-year-old Miller is in his second term as secretary of state and previously worked as a prosecutor in the Clark County District Attorney's Office. The 36-year-old Laxalt was working as a private attorney in Las Vegas before he quit to run his first campaign. He previously served as a Judge Advocate General in the U.S. Navy.
The forum before Nevada journalists focused largely on how the attorney general would enforce public records laws.
