LAS VEGAS (AP) - Nevada Attorney General Adam Laxalt has filed documents to run as a Republican for governor.
Laxalt made it official Tuesday at the Secretary of State’s office in Las Vegas, ahead of a June 12 primary that will pit him against state Treasurer Dan Schwartz and several other lesser-known GOP candidates.
Clark County Commission Chairman Steve Sisolak (SIHS’-oh-lahk) and Commissioner Chris Giunchigliani (joon-kihl-ee-AHN’-ee) are the best-known Democratic nominees in the campaign to replace term-limited Republican Gov. Brian Sandoval.
