Israel won 44.13% of the vote in the primary, advancing him to the general election. He defeated Jack Howard in the general election, winning 54.3% of the vote. [1] [2]
Campaign ethics violation
Shortly before the election, the Nevada Standing Committee on Judicial Ethics and Election Practices publicly censured Israel for publishing and distributing a one-page flyer entitled "Democratic Judicial Candidates for District Court", which identified Israel and six candidates in other races as Democrats. This was in response to opponent Howard's charge that Israel was running a partisan campaign in a nonpartisan election. According to the Nevada Code of Judicial Conduct, judicial candidates "shall not engage in political or campaign activity that is inconsistent with the independence, integrity or impartiality of the judiciary."[3]
