Judge hopefuls among latest candidate filings

In North Las Vegas, two more candidates threw their hats in the ring Wednesday for the open Municipal Court Department 1 judgeship.

Clark County Deputy Public Defender Laurie Diefenbach, who ran unsuccessfully in 2008 for a District Court judgeship, filed for candidacy Wednesday.

So did Donishia Campbell, who also is an attorney for the public defender's office.

They will face Marsha Kimble-Simms, an attorney with her own law firm, and Catherine Ramsey, a North Las Vegas deputy city attorney in the criminal division.

Judge Warren VanLandschoot is retiring from the Department 1 seat in June.

In Henderson, former City Councilman Ron Hubel filed to run for the Ward 4 seat, where he will face former Henderson Police Chief Mike Mayberry.

Debra March registered to keep her Ward 2 seat and is being challenged by John Simmons, a former city construction manager.

And Ray Mollinado filed for the Ward 1 race, bringing the number of candidates in that contest to three.

In Boulder City, Roger Tobler filed to run for re-election as mayor.
