Governor Joe Lombardo

“Suzan Baucum has spent over 30 years of her legal career giving back to the Las Vegas community. As Sheriff, I served on the Criminal Justice Coordinating Council with Suzan, and I know first-hand that she is dedicated to the community she serves. I know Suzan has what it takes to fairly and effectively uphold the rule of law, and that’s why I am proudly endorsing her for Las Vegas Justice Court, Dept. 4. I encourage everyone to support her candidacy.”

Lieutenant Governor Stavros Anthony

“Suzan Baucum has dedicated her entire career to serving the Clark County community. For 12 years, she served with distinction as Justice of the Peace for Dept. 13 keeping our community safe from DUI offenders and others. She now serves as a prosecutor in the Clark County District Attorney’s office in the juvenile, child welfare division, protecting the interests of abused and neglected children. As a former police officer and former member of the Las Vegas City Council, I am certain that we need more exceptional public servants like Suzan on the Las Vegas Justice Court, which is why I am proud to support her candidacy for Las Vegas Justice Court Department 4.”

“Suzan Baucum has deep roots in Las Vegas and in the labor community. She is hardworking, honest and fair. That is why I’m endorsing her for Las Vegas Justice Court Department 4.”

We look for candidates that are fair, honest, and impartial. Candidates with integrity that we believe will strive to make Clark County a safer place for all. We believe that Suzan Baucum fits that criteria and are honored to endorse your campaign for Las Vegas Justice Court Department 4.

“I’ve known Suzan Baucum for more than 30 years. She has dedicated her entire 32-year legal career to serving the citizens of Clark County. I am proud to endorse her candidacy for Judge in Las Vegas Justice Court Dept. 4.”

“Suzan Baucum has always been an ally to law enforcement. During her time as a judge, she implemented key measures that reduced recidivism and kept our citizens safe from DUI offenders. Furthermore, Suzan has volunteered for many years with our department’s “Every 15 Minutes” program, teaching local students about the hazards of driving under the influence. Currently Suzan fights honorably in the juvenile, child welfare division as a prosecutor for the Clark County District Attorney’s Office. I can confidently say that our city will be a safer, better place to live with Suzan Baucum back on the bench, and that’s why I’m endorsing her for Las Vegas Justice Court Department 4.”

About

Suzan Baucum

Suzan Baucum was born and raised in Las Vegas. A graduate of Western High School in Las Vegas, she received her undergraduate degree in political science from Macalester College in St. Paul, Minnesota. She earned her Juris Doctorate from the University of Idaho, where she served as the Notes and Comments Editor of the Idaho Law Review.

From January 2023 to the present time, Suzan Baucum has served as a prosecutor for the Clark County District Attorney’s Office in the juvenile child welfare division tasked with protecting the interests of abused and neglected children.

In 2010 Suzan Baucum was elected and served with distinction as Justice of the Peace for Department 13 of the Las Vegas Justice Court until January 2023. From January 2019 to December 2020, she was the Chief Judge of the Las Vegas Justice Court. For nearly a decade, she oversaw the largest caseload of any DUI court in the country and was proud to institute many technologies and programs that not only saved lives but also decreased recidivism. Suzan Baucum also served as a Judge Pro Tempore for the Las Vegas Municipal Court and the North Las Vegas Justice Court.

Before becoming a judge, Suzan Baucum spent 19 years as Executive Director of the Nevada Law Foundation, a non-profit organization dedicated to serving the legal needs of Nevada's less fortunate and indigent citizens, particularly victims of domestic violence and children in need of protection. Suzan Baucum’s legal career covers a wide range of topics, including prosecuting both civil and criminal matters with the Ada County Prosecutor’s Office. Following graduation from law school, she worked with a firm in Reno, Nevada, handling criminal, personal injury, real estate, and general business matters. She has also served as a state training specialist and staff attorney for the National Council of Juvenile and Family Court Judges.

Suzan Baucum believes in being active in both her profession and her community. She is a fellow of the American Bar Association, a member of the Clark County Bar Association, the State Bar of Nevada, and a colleague of the Nevada Law Foundation. She has served as Co-Chair of the Criminal Justice Coordinating Council, on the Board of Directors for the Child Assault Prevention Project, the Eighth Judicial District Pro Bono Foundation, and on the board of the Las Vegas Dance Stars.

Suzan Baucum has volunteered for Project Marilyn, the Red Cross, the Jerry Lewis Telethon, the United Blood Service, the American Heart Association, and the American Cancer Society. She has also worked as a court-appointed special advocate (CASA) for children in need of court protection, as well as a counselor at Lincoln House, a shelter for unwed mothers in St. Paul, Minnesota. She served as room mother for many years at her children’s school and directed the annual school pageant. She is also involved in reading on a regular basis to children at the elementary school level and spends countless hours providing information to our area youth regarding the perils of driving under the influence, in addition to volunteering with LVMPD’s “Every 15 Minutes” program.
