Republican Congressman Heck to run for Reid's U.S. Senate seat

LAS VEGAS (Reuters) - Republican Congressman Joe Heck has announced his candidacy for the U.S. Senate seat being vacated after 30 years Harry Reid, asking donors for help to fight the Democratic leader's "hand-picked successor."

In a videotaped message and written statement, Representative Joe Heck stressed his experiences in the military and as a physician and said he would work to bring more jobs to Nevada.

"I'm a healer. That's who I am, and that's what I do," Heck said in the video. "Join me and together we can build a stronger Nevada."

Reid, who suffered broken ribs and facial bones in an accident while exercising, announced in March that he would not seek re-election next year, leaving Congress after 30 years.

if she does not screw up her campaign. Single largest voting block in Nevada is Hispanic,in saying that,she needs to bring in their Community Leaders. Our Democratic Party screwed things up royally in 2014 by not going wall to wall with Hispanic and Asian Community. No challenge to all the Teabillie false statements and allowing the Bagger's to frame all the debate with out a push back. Heck is Orin Hatch redo,and we know what that looks like.
