Amity Latham elected co‑chair of Nevada child‑death review executive committee
Summary
Voting members chose Amity Latham, chief deputy district attorney in Clark County's juvenile division, as co‑chair by a 7‑to‑4 tally after candidate statements from Latham and Anya Earle. April recorded the vote on the record.
The Executive Committee to Review the Death of Children voted to elect Amity Latham as co‑chair during its Feb. 18, 2026 meeting.
Two candidates — Anya Earle, who described her 20 years with a private nonprofit foster‑care agency working with children with specialized mental‑health needs, and Amity Latham, chief deputy district attorney in Clark County's juvenile division — each addressed the committee about their interest and qualifications. "I have been with the DA's office 21 years... I supervise a team of six attorneys," Latham said while explaining her experience with child‑welfare law and child‑death cases.
April recorded the roll‑call votes and reported "it's 7 to 4 for Amity," confirming Latham won the majority of voting members' support. April thanked Anya for her participation and said the committee appreciated both candidates' willingness to serve.
The committee did not record a formal roll‑call breakdown of each voting member's name in the meeting minutes beyond the tally announced on the record. Latham will assume the co‑chair duties alongside existing leadership and continue participating in committee efforts, including the newly formed protocols subcommittee.
