With Rep. Dean Heller's announcement that he would be seeking the soon-to-be vacant U.S. Senate seat of John "Pants on the Ground" Ensign, a mad scramble has ensued for his own soon-to-be-vacant House seat in Nevada's 2nd congressional district..assuming the special election will be a free-for-all with all Republicans - and candidates from other parties, as well as independents - who want to be on the ballot on the ballot.
That would appear to include Lt. Gov. Brian Krolicki, who has expressed interest in the seat in the past. However, on April 14, 2011, before Ensign announced his premature resignation, Krolicki released a statement declining to make a decision on seeking the office until after the current legislative session ends, which, at present pace, could be in the year 2525 ("If man is still alive, If woman can survive".ask your mom).
"Now is not the proper time for a final decision to enter this race and to begin an all-consuming campaign," Krolicki wrote. "In fact, I think it would be irresponsible to do so. I was recently re-elected to serve the people of Nevada as their lieutenant governor, and there are simply too many issues of consequence being debated in the Legislature which demand all participants' undivided attention."
