Danny Tarkanian has announced that he will be switching his candidacy from Senate to Congress after receiving endorsement for Congressional District 3 from President Trump.
"Late Wednesday, the President and members of his political team reached out to me and asked me to consider supporting the America First agenda as a Congressional candidate by running again in CD3, where I nearly won in 2016 in what was one of the most expensive and closest Congressional races in America," Tarkanian said in a statement.Â
Tarkanian says President Trump was adamant about having a unified Republican ticket for benefit of the American First movement.Â
"I am confident I would have won the US Senate race and done a great job representing the people of Nevada in the Senate," says Tarkanian. "But the President is adamant that a unified Republican ticket in Nevada is the best direction for the America First movement. With President Trump's full support and endorsement, I am filing to run again in CD3 with the firm belief that we will finish what we started in 2016 and win in 2018."Â
