In case anyone hasn't received the message yet -- and I have no idea who you are -- state Sen. Mark Hutchison is The Chosen One for lieutenant governor.
In his latest fundraiser, a Dec. 18 event hyped today via email by his campaign, Hutchison has the three top Republicans, gaming types and the widow of a man who was very close to Hutchison's opponent, Sue Lowden. Yes, Dale Raggio, whose husband, Bill, once was on the board of Lowden's casino company and mentored her as a state senator, is on...
Assemblywoman Lucy Flores is hardly known by Nevada voters but has a compelling life story and “would have a good chance of winning an election against (state Sen.) Mark Hutchison,” according to a national pollster who surveyed the lieutenant governor’s race for her.
