YEREVAN, JUNE 14, ARMENPRESS: Danny Tarkanian topped eight others
Tuesday night to win Nevada's 4th district Republican primary,
setting up a general election race with Democratic state Senate
Majority Leader Steven Horsford, reports Armenpress citing Roll Call.
Tarkanian, an attorney and son of legendary basketball coach Jerry
Tarkanian, won with 32 percent of the vote, followed by state Sen.
Barbara Cegavske with 28 percent, bail enforcement agent Kenneth
Wegner with 21 percent and businessman Dan Schwartz with 11 percent.
The new district, added in reapportionment, includes northern Clark
County and six rural counties. It will be an uphill climb for Tarkanian
against Horsford, a close ally of Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid
(D). But Republicans believe Horsford, a member of the Democratic
Congressional Campaign Committee's Majority Makers program, is a
flawed candidate.
Democrats hold a voter registration edge in the district, and President
Barack Obama would have won it with 56 percent in 2008.
