Douglas County Deputy District Attorney Dina Salvucci is one of 17 attorneys applying for the Washoe District Court seat being vacated by Jim Hardesty.

Another 10 attorneys have applied for the seat vacated by Charles McGee.

Four of the candidates applied for both seats including Washoe commissioner Pete Sferrazza. In addition to Sferrazza, 59, Margaret Springgate Evans; Lance Van Lydegraf, 58; and Dennis Widdis, 51, are seeking both positions.

Chief Justice Miriam Shearing of the Nevada Supreme Court chairs the commission.
