The Democratic Party is looking for someone to run for Congress in Nevada's 4th District. http://atr.rollcall.com/steven-horsford-nevada-2016/

The 4th District, created after the 2010 census, is an appealing opportunity for Nevada Democrats. It includes a large strip of Nevada north of Las Vegas, a mixture of urban and rural areas, and is 30 percent Hispanic.

Candidates do not have to live in the district they are running to represent, so the race could draw a wide field of ambitious Democrats from the Las Vegas area who would prefer not to take on Republican Rep. Joe Heck, who has survived stiff challenges.

I say we draft Joe Republic and then use our collective power to help get him elected. We could start a campaign company, "Atlas Campaigns." I can make campaign videos/run social media, Miles can work on precinct maps, Bacon King can help with legal work, MormDem can be a strategist, Bushie can call potential voters, etc.

Unrelated but back when I went to Vegas a few years ago I remember seeing this homeless guy with a sign that read "Umemployed circus clown, send me to Congress where I belong" or something to that effect.

Not any more, I've moved since then so I was updating my registration anyway.  No joke though, it got brought up when I tried to get involved with the Erin Bilbray campaign last year, and they thought I was a Republican plant.  After I explained the truth, and even showed them my write-up about the clustercaucus, I was still about 40% sure they didn't trust or believe me.  Hence why my involvement with the Bilbray campaign didn't get very far.

This might be the most bizarre scheme to get a date I've ever heard of.

Nonetheless, another mild headed Atlasian (muon2 being the first) does sound a little enticing as a Congresscritter.

Bacon King has had enough of the Democrats losing in GA and has turned to the dark side.

Endorsed, so long as he promised to get sh-tfaced on the floor and give a speech similar to Sarah Palin's CPAC speech.

I've given it a lot of thought, and I've decided to run in the 2nd district.  I want to keep things old-school and campaign the traditional way, from my doorstep here in Las Vegas.

Oh that sucks. I remember back in early 2014 when Project Veritas was trying to discredit Battleground Texas, every new volunteer came in I was instantly suspicious of them. Don't think I ever actually had a plant at any of my things though. Some of my coworkers did

Joe has a D next to his name, so he should be able to easily beat Cresent Hardy. I support this endeavor.
