Lieutenant governor anointee Mark Hutchison, handpicked by Gov. Brian Sandoval and backed by the GOP Establishment, raised about $350,000 at his first event.
That estimated figure, from an insider with knowledge and one who does not (as some do) exaggerate, must be the most ever raised by a candidate for lieutenant governor -- or perhaps even an incumbent LG running for re-election. For context, Lt. Gov. Brian Krolicki reported $138,000 raised in the year before he ran for re-election in 2010...
Good morning, everyone. One day before the big court hearing on that nasty Sun/RJ vs. Brian Greenspun suit and yet anotherdocument was filed. This one is a doozy, as is the BG affidavit that speaks of his anguish in going uncompensated while trying to keep the Sun afloat and the derogation of bedroom bloggers (Hey, it's a converted bedroom!). I kid you not. We have his lawyer, Leif Reid, scheduled for tonight on the program.
I continue to feel as if there are no heroes in this story, and the...
Becky Harris, who lost an Assembly race last cycle, is preparing a campaign against Democratic state Sen. Justin Jones in a contest that could determine which party controls the upper house.
Harris is likely to run with the imprimatur of the Senate GOP leadership -- she was recruited by Minority Leader Michael Roberson, I'm told. She's a lawyer who was just this week named by Clark County Commission Chairman Steve Sisolak (!) to a mobile home committee.
Privately, the GOP folks are touting her...
On the same I reported in my email newsletter that state Sen. Kelvin Atkinson was 75 percent sure he would run for secretary of state, Treasurer Kate Marshall announced early endorsements.
This is classic:
In a rare early move, the Northern Nevada Building and Trades Council has endorsed Kate Marshall. “Breaking with our normal practices the Council last Thursday made the decision to step out early,” said Paul McKenzie, Secretary Treasurer of the Northern Nevada Building & Construction...
Good morning, everyone. As the debate continues over Syria, which defies the usual binary choices, Nevada’s delegation is either silent or equivocating (read this if you want to pierce the paywall or this from the Sun’s Karoun Demirjian), gung ho (Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid) or a likely NO (Rep. Joe Heck). It amazes me that on the most important issue facing the country – the possibility of going to war (yes, it’s war) – that federal elected officials would not want to take a strong,...
On Wednesday evening at the Red Rock resort, a full-blown anointment party will take place in the biggest race of Campaign '14: lieutenant governor.
Yes, lieutenant governor.
With high-level Democrats already conceding Gov. Brian Sandoval's re-election, despite the torrent of "Sandovalcare" news releases from the state Democratic Party (you never know....), the Party of Reid is focused on making it as difficult as possible for the governor (even if he is not so inclined) to run against Prince...
