by Jon Ralston Tue, 11/20/2012 - 20:22 Tweet This morning, I asked subscribers to Flash (you can sign up on the site) this trivia question: During the 1993 Legislature, how many lawmakers were there who would later run for statewide office and who are they? Lots of folks took a stab at it, but here is the correct answer: 10 (11 if you count one who started to run but never filed) Here they are: State Sen. Tom Hickey -- Secretary of state, 1994 State Sen. Sue Lowden--U.S. Senate, 2010 State Sen. Joe Neal -- Governor, 2002 State Sen. Ray Shaffer -- Lieutenant governor, 1986 State Sen. Dina Titus -- Governor, 2006 Assemblywoman Kathy Augustine -- Controller, 1998 and 2002 Assemblyman Jim Gibbons -- Governor, 2006 and 2010 Assemblyman Dean Heller -- Secretary of state, 1994 and 1998; U.S. Senate, 2012 Assemblywoman Erin Kenny -- Lieutenant governor, 2002 Assemblyman Richard Perkins -- Governor, 2006 (this is borderline, as he raised money but never filed) Assemblyman Scott Scherer -- Attorney general, 1998 Several of you got to nine or 10. But no one got all 11. Comments:

Several of you got to nine or 10. But no one got all 11.
