Robert Daskas has ended his campaign for Nevada's Congressional District Three.  Robert is a fine man, a terrific candidate, and I know you join me in wishing him and his family all the best in his future endeavors.

Democratic national congressional leaders, including Nancy Pelosi, Shelley Berkley, and Harry Reid, have called on me to carry us to victory in CD 3.  I am honored by their support, enthusiasm and confidence. 

Everything I've been able to accomplish in the State Senate, such as property tax relief, stronger sex offender laws, and saving Red Rock from development, I've done with your help and encouragement. You've supported my unfinished fight to make Nevada a powerhouse in clean, renewable energy and to build an educational system we can be proud of. 

The Republican attack machine will stop at nothing to hang on to CD3. We have seen how they turn accomplishments into negatives, distort voting records, and twist words. So we know it will take all of our best efforts to achieve victory in November. 

Before I make a decision, I'd like to hear from you.  So what do you think?  Should I run for Congress to give the people of CD3 effective representation?  I need to decide soon so please write me your thoughts.

I hope I can continue to count on you to help me bring about needed changes for the people of Nevada.
