Election 2016: Early look at who’s favored in Nev.
By Megan Messerly, Las Vegas Sun
From the race to replace Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid to the battle for control of the Nevada Legislature, the 2016 election in Nevada will offer far more than a choice of presidential candidates.
While many of the campaigns have been in the works for months, the opening of the filing window for candidates in Nevada on Monday marked the official start to primary season. Candidates for nonjudicial offices have until Friday to file for office.
The higher-profile races in Nevada include competition for Reid’s seat, which he’s vacating by retiring after five terms, and a slew of Nevada Senate and Assembly positions that Democrats are fighting to regain after Republicans gained majorities in both chambers during 2014.
