Since they do not mention his party affiliation, I suppose it’s safe to say he ran as a Democrat.

Yep even the hill doesn’t acknowledge political affiliation so safe to assume he’s a Demonrat. Interesting scandals in the above article; none that would pass prosecutorial muster in today’s Demonrat culture of degradation.
Chirila was a successful attorney in Reno, Carson City, and the Lake Tahoe area. He became Nevada’s deputy attorney in the late 1970s.

The following were the Attorney General of Nevada on the late 70s:
26 Robert List --- 1971–1979 Republican
27 Richard Bryan 1979–1983 Democratic
As you can see, I had no real luck in determining his political party. But his chances of being Republican seem to be greater than being a Democrat, unless both positions are determined by separate elections, and not as a ticket. 😋
