We are seven weeks away from the June 9 primary election.

The Attorney General’s race will be contested on both sides of the aisle.

There are two candidates for each party.

The Republican primary will see Adriana Guzman Fralick, who served as legal counsel for the Nevada Commission of Ethics, and Douglas County Commissioner Danny Tarkanian face off.

2 News Nevada spoke with both candidates on Tuesday.

"I have been in Nevada most of my life,” Guzman Fralick said. “I grew up in Sparks. I attended Sparks High School and went to UNR, graduated from UNR and UNLV for my law degree…”

"I raised my kids here in Reno, I live here in Reno, and I have my law practice here in Reno.”

Guzman Fralick has lived in Nevada since she was nine years old.

Her campaign website says her family legally immigrated from Mexico to the United States at that time.

She has quite an extensive professional resume.

“I worked for state and local government for about 15 years, starting with the state's ethics commission, the public utilities commission, general counsel, assistant general counsel," she said.

She’s also worked with the Nevada Gaming Control Board, the Cannabis Compliance Board, and with the District Attorney’s Office in Carson City.

Her experience is what she thinks sets her apart from Tarkanian.

“I have been practicing law, actually practicing law, litigating administrative law, which is a huge deal for the Attorney General's Office because they represent all of the agencies," she said.

She told us her two main priorities if elected. The first is more protections for children.

“When some of these lawsuits involve social media, making sure there are guardrails for children and to prevent the exploitation of children,” Guzman Fralick said.

Election integrity is the other one.

“It also depends on what happens with voter ID,” she said. “I think if that passes in November, then we need to make sure we implement that. As well as cleaning up the voter rolls."

Guzman Fralick said Governor Joe Lombardo endorsing her meant a lot, but she says she’ll work with whoever is sitting in that seat.

“It's really important to have an attorney general that's going to work with the Governor, regardless of who the Governor is."

She had mixed things to say about the current office under AG Aaron Ford, who is now running for governor.

“I can point to some former lawsuits that were important, like the opioid crisis in those lawsuits that brought some money into the state,” she said. “That was important as well as tobacco litigation for that money, that's gone to education."

The lawyer also said there are things she isn’t a fan of.

“There's a time and place for certain lawsuits, but not just to sue for having headlines or for political gain.”

Tarkanian has served Douglas County since 2020.

"I've lived in Nevada now for 53 years,” Tarkanian said. “I've been a licensed attorney for 38 of those years."

Tarkanian feels there are changes that can already be made from the current administration.

“The general part of the Attorney General's Office has got to be strong on crime and has to have a great working relationship with the deputies around this state. That hasn't happened these past eight years,” he said.

One of his main priorities is immigration enforcement.

“We will work with ICE and enforce our nation's immigration laws," Tarkanian said. “It's only when ICE comes in, and they need assistance, we're going to work with them, we're not going to obstruct them."

Tarkanian’s next priority is to change some election policies.

"I'm talking about the universal mail-in ballots, and I'm talking about ballot harvesting," he said.

A couple of years ago, 2 News Nevada did an explanation story on ballot harvesting after President Trump’s administration asked people to bring their ballots to a campaign rally in Reno.

Tarkanian also wants to be stern if transgender athletes are competing in women's sports.

"We will prohibit biological men from competing in women's sports or going into women's bathrooms or locker rooms,” he said.

Tarkanian did mention the petition that’s going around to ban transgender athletes as a ballot question. He said if he is AG and it doesn’t pass on the ballot, he will do what’s in the office’s power.

Governor Joe Lombardo endorsed Guzman-Fralick over Tarkanian.

“Governor Lombardo's consultants who make a lot of money off him are going to make a lot of money off her,” Tarkanian responded when we asked how he felt. “They use the same consultants, and it's a money game."

However, Tarkanian thinks he’s the better person for the position.

"Adriana has never been elected,” he said. “She's been appointed to different boards, but her boss then is running whatever board it is. It's not the people, and the Attorney General's Office represents the people."

Tarkanian says he also wants to get rid of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion programs.

The county commissioner has taken a few swings at other positions, but has fallen short multiple times.

In 2022, he ran against Congressman Mark Amodei for CD2 and lost by 22.3 percentage points.

"The Amodei one was a mistake,” he said. “I should not have done that. He had rock-solid support here in northern Nevada.”

In 2016, Tarkanian ran against current Senator Jacky Rosen (D) in the Congressional District 3 race, where he narrowly lost by 1.3 percentage points.

“Now Rosen's in the U.S. Senate, and I lost by one percent in a year that was bad for all Republicans, and I think that was a great testament to my viability as a candidate," he said.

2 News Nevada reached out to both Democratic candidates, State Senate Majority Leader Nicole Cannizzaro and State Treasurer Zach Conine's campaign offices, but they were unavailable on Tuesday.

We are hoping to set something up with them in the coming weeks.
