State Republicans say Sigal Chattah nominated for Nevada U.S. Attorney post
LAS VEGAS (KLAS) — Nevada Republicans are saying Sigal Chattah has been nominated to serve as interim U.S. Attorney overseeing Nevada.
Chattah ran against Democrat Aaron Ford in 2022, but Ford was re-elected as Nevada Attorney General.
Sue Fahimi is currently serving as acting U.S. Attorney for the District of Nevada, a position vacated by Democrat Jason Frierson on Dec. 30, 2024, before President Donald Trump took office.
Chattah is a civil and criminal defense attorney who previously served on the Las Vegas Planning Commission. She has also served as a member of the Southern Nevada Disciplinary Board of the State Bar of Nevada.
The U.S. Senate is tasked with confirming U.S. Attorney nominations.
'Today, we congratulate our own National Committeewoman Sigal Chattah, who is nominated to join the Department of Justice as the interim US Attorney overseeing Nevada,' according to an announcement from the Nevada Republican Party.

'We are thrilled that President Trump and Attorney General Bondi have the warrior they need in Nevada,' Nevada GOP chairman Michael J. McDonald said. 'Sigal will rigorously advocate for the President's priorities and investigate corruption throughout the Silver State. Under Sigal's leadership, it will be a bad day to be a bad guy — justice will be served.'
