Sandoval not running for Reid’s Senate seat
By Sean Whaley, Las Vegas Review-Journal
CARSON CITY — Gov. Brian Sandoval announced Tuesday he will not run for Harry Reid’s Senate seat.
Sandoval made known his intentions to remain as governor, at least for now, following the conclusion of the 2015 legislative session on June 1.
In a statement, Sandoval said: “In 1984, Nevada Senator Paul Laxalt gave me the opportunity of a lifetime to serve as a legislative intern in his office in Washington, D.C. Coming from humble beginnings, the experience changed my life and charted me on a path of public service. It never occurred to me then that I would someday have an opportunity to be a candidate for the United States Senate.
“I have said many times that it is an honor and a privilege to serve as Nevada’s chief executive and that I love my job. My heart is in my responsibilities as governor and continuing to build the New Nevada. My undivided attention must be devoted to being the best governor, husband and father I can be.”
