Yet another Republican is officially challenging Harry Reid, with former state GOP chair Sue Lowden announcing her bid to bring down the Democrats’ Senate Majority Leader.
“I think there is a big fear here in Nevada, across the country, but clearly here in Nevada, of a big government takeover of our lives, of our businesses,” said Lowden. “I think that is going to resonate in Nevada and I think throughout the country.”
Recent polls have shown Lowden ahead of Reid — a good place to be, starting out. But as the Las Vegas Review-Journal points out, it’s not going to be so simple for her. She or any other Republican must first get through a very crowded Republican primary, with nine other candidates ranging from major names to underdogs. After that, Reid, could spend as much as $25 million.
