Jill Derby opts out of Nevada CD2 race
According to a report from Jon Ralson, Jill Derby has decided not to run for the Nevada Congressional District 2 seat that was vacated by now-Sen. Dean Heller.
Derby ran for the seat twice against Heller, in 2006 and 2008. She and Nevada Treasurer Kate Marshall were to top two Democratic contenders for the seat. According to Ralson, Derby is throwing her support to Marshall.
That makes two high-profile candidates to pass on the race in two days. Republican Sharron Angle announced yesterday that she would not run.
