GOP firebrand Michele Fiore appointed to Nevada judgeship

Las Vegas (AP) — Following years of controversy, a former Las Vegas city councilwoman who moved to a rural Nevada county after losing a bid in November for statewide office was appointed unanimously Tuesday evening to a local judgeship.

Republican firebrand Michele Fiore, who does not have a law degree, will fill a seat on the Pahrump Justice Court in Nye County through 2024. Pahrump is located about 65 miles (100 kilometers) west of Las Vegas.

Her appointment to the bench over 17 other applicants marks the latest chapter in a decade-long political career marked by scandal – including reports of an FBI probe into her campaign finances and accusations of physical assault.

In a pitch to Nye County commissioners Tuesday night, Fiore said she would approach the judgeship with “integrity and honesty” because she has “been at the end of the political barrel.”

applicants were/are lawyers. Wonder how she rankled this?

She was the councilperson in my district in Vegas and used to send out Charistmas cards with a family portrait of her, husband and kids all strapped and holding long arms or AR-15 type weapons.

I happily voted against her everytime, including her last state-wide attempt that she lost.

3. She does have a high school diploma or GED, so she is well qualified

Fiore said Tuesday night that she is ready to start a new life as “a Pahrump girl.” She detailed plans of living on a 2-acre lot that she said she had purchased over the summer, as well as completing a bachelor’s degree and taking the Nevada State Bar exam in the future.

6. She might want to re-phase that "Pahrump girl" remark as...

Pahrump and Nye County are well known for legal prostitution...places like the Mustang Ranch and such.

5. You forgot: It does appear they have lots and lots of guns!
