Krolicki Endorses Heller For Senate, Says Considering NV-2
By Elizabeth Crum / Nevada News Bureau
Politico reports that Lt. Gov. Brian Krolicki has formally endorsed Rep. Dean Heller and will “take time” to consider a run for Nevada’s 2nd Congressional District. Quote:
“I’m embracing his candidacy, and I told him over the weekend that I will do everything within my power to help him become a U.S. Senator. I’m a team player and Dean is a very important friend in my life, as is his family,” said Krolicki, who noted that he had several conversations with Heller since Sen. John Ensign’s announcement to retire.
Krolicki also told Politico he hoped “his endorsement would signal to Nevada Republicans that they should unite around Heller’s bid and avoid the intra-party fratricide that hindered GOP hopes at upending Sen. Majority Leader Harry Reid last year.”
Methinks Krolicki hopes in vain. At least one viable GOP contender will probably challenge Heller in the Senate primary.
We shall soon see.
