Parties Battle for Control of Nevada Senate
You can't loot it if you don't run it
CARSON CITY— The precincts have been walked, the issues debated and the media campaigns run. Now many Nevada voters will get to weigh in on five critical races to determine whether Republicans or Democrats will control the state Senate.
The 21-member Senate has an 11-10 Democratic edge.
Gov. Brian Sandoval and many of his Republican colleagues are working to change this by winning at least four of five of the races in play on Election Day.
Sandoval, who is expected to push for further education reforms and other changes in the 2013 session, would love to have the leverage a Republican Senate would provide to help win passage of his agenda.
