FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE | March 17, 2022

(Las Vegas, NV) – Exactly two years after the Sisolak Shutdown, Republican Las Vegas attorney Sigal Chattah officially filed today as a candidate for Nevada attorney general, the seat currently held by Democrat Aaron Ford.  She’ll first square off against attorney Tisha Black in the June GOP primary.

“What we have in this race,” Chattah said, “is a Democrat attorney general who’s been carrying Gov. Sisolak’s water in court to strip Nevadans of basic constitutional rights, and a last-minute primary challenger who’s been missing in action since she lost her county commission race in 2018.  Nevadans and Republicans deserve better.”

Chattah noted that while she has filed numerous lawsuits, pro bono, challenging Sisolak’s abuse of “emergency” powers related to COVID, Ford has been on the other side, not representing the people, but his political patron whose job he wants in 2026.

“While Aaron Ford has been using his office to build his political future, I’ve been in court building cases against Sisolak’s authoritarian one-man-rule,” Chattah continued, “including successfully forcing Ford and Sisolak to fully re-open Nevada’s churches just 10 days before Christmas in 2020.”

Chattah pointed out that while she’s been slugging it out with the Sisolak/Ford administration over mask and vaccine mandates, her primary opponent has sat on the sidelines and devoted her time in court defending her family’s various marijuana businesses.

“I’ve been actively campaigning all across the state for the last year,” Chattah noted. “Tisha, on the other hand and at the behest of the Republican establishment, parachuted into the race just last month.

“While I’ve been fighting Sisolak and Ford every step of the way,” Chattah continued, “Tisha’s been sitting on the sidelines watching the parade go by.  Sorry, but with basic constitutional rights under constant attack, these times call for a fighter, not a spectator.”

Chattah noted that Black ran as a “moderate” in her failed Clark County commission race in 2018 and has contributed large donations over the years to Democrats Sisolak, Harry Reid and Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto.

“Republicans are going to have a clear choice in the June primary,” Chattah concluded.  “They can nominate as their champion an independent, outspoken, proven warrior who’s already successfully gone toe to toe with the Sisolak/Ford regime, or they can nominate a soft-and-sweet puppet who will do as she’s told by the Democrats she’s been funding for the last ten years.

“I trust the voters will see through the attack ads bound to come from Black’s handlers and get the nominee who can actually win in November.”

(Sigal Chattah) – As you may have heard, the Nevada Republican “establishment” has recruited a “moderate” Republican, Tisha Black, to parachute into our GOP primary for attorney general at the last minute.

It’s unfortunate, but not totally unexpected.

It’s what they do when they know they can’t control a candidate who’s willing to stand up and actually FIGHT for you as a principled, constitutional conservative.

One of my supporters wrote a three-part series detailing our new reality – which, sadly, means we now have to use campaign money we’d hoped to spend beating Democrat incumbent Attorney General Aaron Ford to first win the GOP primary.

Part 1 looks at the history of establishment RINOs (Republicans in Name Only) doing this to other candidates in the past – not just here in Nevada, but all across the country.

Part 2 looks at how these people are trying to come at me for supposedly being a “racist” – which is actually a page straight out of the Democrats’ playbook.

And Part 3 looks specifically at Ms. Black’s record.  And – WOW! – it’s bad.

But don’t worry.  We’re gonna make mincemeat out of her!

I haven’t been fighting for you for over two years now to simply roll over let some self-described “moderate” Republican and financial backer of Steve Sisolak, Harry Reid and Catherine Cortez Masto blow this opportunity for us to win back this seat.

“Tish the Squish,” as my supporter refers to her, has brought a knife to a gunfight.

It won’t end well for her.

Nor will it end well for Aaron Ford in November.

Strap down and buckle up.  The storm clouds are gathering. The “red wave” is building.  And we’re about to unleash Holy Hades!

Yours in battle,

Sigal

P.S.  I will be officially filing for office tomorrow – which will be exactly two years after the disastrous and unconstitutional “Sisolak Shutdown” was ordered in Nevada.

P.P.S.  Yes, we now need to raise additional money to fund this primary challenge from the “establishment.”  So if you can kick in a few shekels today, please click on the “Donate” link below.
