From Sparks Tribune:
Senate Majority Leader Bill Raggio, R-Reno, says the races for the southern Nevada seats held by Beers and Heck “are closer than they should be. … They should be re-elected, but it’s a year of uncertainty. With the Democrat registration going far ahead, it makes it more questionable.”
Major voter registration gains by Democrats have resulted in the GOP losing the advantage that favored Beers, R-Las Vegas, and Heck, R-Henderson, in their districts at the start of the year. And the state Democratic Party is spending heavily on the campaigns of Beers’ challenger, Allison Copening, and Heck’s main opponent, Shirley Breeden.
The other eight Senate races are relatively dull by comparison.
