Report: Mark Amodei to run for Congress
According to Nevada News Bureau, Republican Mark Amodei will announce soon that he is running for the Congressional District 2 seat currently held by Rep. Dean Heller.
The speculation is that Heller will make a run for the U.S. Senate seat held by John Ensign, who announced earlier this week he would not seek reelection to avoid an ugly campaign after his well-publicized sex scandal.
Amodei is currently the chairman of the Nevada Republican Party. Before that, he served as state senator representing the capitol district. He also served one term in the Assembly.
Both Heller and Amodei are graduates of Carson High School, where they played on the same basketball team.
