The Nevada Commission on Judicial Discipline issued a public reprimand this week against a Las Vegas judge who misrepresented endorsements from public agencies.
A 2014 campaign ad for District Judge Doug Smith indicated he was endorsed by the Nevada Department of Wildlife, the Nevada Gaming Control Board, the Nevada Department of Corrections and the Nevada Taxicab Authority.
Those agencies typically, however, do not endorse political candidates.
Smith toldthe Las Vegas Review Journal that his campaign manager was responsible for the ads, and acknowledged to the commission that he failed to monitor his endorsements and his campaign manager.
