Daskas drops out of congressional race
Former Clark County prosecutor Robert Daskas has announced that he is dropping out of the 3rd District race against Jon Porter. Jon Ralston provides the text of Daskas's press release:
"Citing family considerations, Robert Daskas has announced his decision to withdraw his candidacy for Nevada's Third Congressional District. The Daskas campaign has every confidence that another strong, viable candidate will enter the race and unseat incumbent Jon Porter. Daskas thanks everyone for their support and asks supporters to stay focused on the common goal of changing our representative in the Third Congressional District. Democrats now hold a 22,500 voter registration advantage over Republicans in the district."
No word yet as to whether or not Daskas will resume his career with the Clark County District Attorney's Office.
