  • Amodei won’t decide on bid for Nevada governor until October

    Thursday, July 29, 2021 1:00 AM
    U.S. Rep. Mark Amodei said Tuesday that he hasn't decided whether to run for reelection or mount a bid for Nevada governor, but appears unimpressed by the Republican primary field vying to challenge first-term Democratic Gov. Steve Sisolak.
    “Certainly no one has sucked the air out of the room, in a Republican primary sense, which Steve Sisolak must be happy about,'' he said.
    Amodei, a Carson City Republican, said he didn't feel rushed to make a decision with the primary election 11 months away. If he enters the race, Amodei will join Sheriff Joe Lombardo, former North Las Vegas Mayor John Lee and Reno attorney Joey Gilbert in the Republican primary field. Former U.S. Sen. Dean Heller has told Republican groups that he's also mulling a run.

    “We went from looking like we were going to go broke to actually having a pretty healthy surplus of funding,” said Pete Etchart, the district’s chief operating officer.
