Tarkanian to challenge Heller for Senate seat
By Reno Gazette-Journal
Republican Danny Tarkanian, a prominent Las Vegas businessman, announced Tuesday he is mounting a primary challenge to Nevada Sen. Dean Heller, considered one of the Senate’s most vulnerable Republicans in 2018.
The bid by Tarkanian, 55, who aligns himself with President Donald Trump, makes good on conservatives’ threats to challenge incumbents they blame for hurting their years-long quest to dismantle the Obama-era health care law.
