Gov. Brian Sandoval sent his first extensive fundraising pitch at the end of last week, touting his conservative bona fides, his blocking of tax increases and his job-creating efforts. We also have a slogan, emphasizing the theme of a recovering economy and keeping the man who did it in charge: "Tested vision. Tested leadership. Proven progress." Let the sun shine in.
