From Nevada Appeal:
More than two dozen candidates filed for office with the Secretary of State Monday as filing for the 2010 elections opened.
The list included several front-runners in major races including Republicans Brian Sandoval for governor and Sue Lowden for U.S. Senate.
Filing is open through March 12.
Sandoval, who faces a tough primary challenge against incumbent Gov. Jim Gibbons, said he would not have supported the increased mining taxes proposed by Gibbons. Those revenues were cut from the final plan, replaced by the unanticipated increase in Net Proceeds of Mines revenue coming to the state because of booming gold prices.
