LAS VEGAS (AP) — The most geographically diverse congressional district in Nevada is the site of its liveliest primary, pitting a former tea party strategist against a conservative state assemblyman in a bid to challenge Democratic incumbent Rep. Steven Horsford.
Niger Innis of Las Vegas and Assemblyman Cresent Hardy of Mesquite are seeking the Republican nomination for the 4th Congressional District. The district stretches from urban North Las Vegas to the rural northern towns of Yerington and Ely.
Tuesday's other primary races are less competitive. Like Horsford, 1st District Democrat Dina Titus faces only a token challenge. There are no primary challengers for Republican Reps. Mark Amodei in the 2nd District and Joe Heck in the 3rd.
Heck is expected to end up facing Democrat Erin Bilbray, daughter of ex-Nevada Congressman James Bilbray.
