Duncan Challenges Hicks on Crime and Ethics

Sparks City Attorney Wes Duncan is launching a fiery bid for Washoe County District Attorney, accusing incumbent Chris Hicks of enabling rising violent crime and mishandling high-profile cases like the Kimberly Moll assault and the Zephyr Pointe shooting. Drawing on his Air Force judge advocate background and Christian values, Duncan frames himself as the tough, principled alternative—backed by police unions and federal crime data he says proves the need for change. Hicks counters with state-level stats and defends his decisions as legally sound, while denying any nepotism claims tied to his wife’s employment. The race boils down to who voters trust more: a prosecutor with a military pedigree and a combative style—or the incumbent defending his record amid heated debate over crime trends and prosecutorial ethics.
