From the Las Vegas Sun:
State Sen. Mark Amodei announced his candidacy for the U.S. Senate on Wednesday, calling incumbent Sen. Harry Reid a “$25 million man” who hasn’t done much to help Nevada emerge from its economic doldrums.
Amodei, who has served 14 years in the Legislature, said the state is in “serious, serious trouble” and having the majority leader in the Senate “really isn’t doing much for you.”
Amodei, 51, of Carson City, will seek the GOP nomination, entering a growing field. Danny Tarkanian has already announced. And state Republican Party Chairwoman Sue Lowden is expected to enter the race.
