 Three finalists have emerged in the search for a new Beltrami County attorney. They are Katie Nolting, currently an assistant Beltrami County attorney. Clifford Ward Law, currently an assistant U.S. attorney for Minnesota. And David Hansen, who's currently the county attorney for Clearwater County. The three are vying to succeed Annie Kloss and Hughesby, who left her position as Beltrami County attorney to become a ninth judicial district judge earlier this fall. The Beltrami County board will conduct a second round of interviews with the candidates later this month. Chief assistant attorney David Frank is serving as the interim county attorney until a new county attorney is selected.
