At least 10 Republicans have announced their intent to challenge Sisolak for the governor's office. Dean Heller, former U.S. senator for Nevada, announced he would file his candidacy on Tuesday in Carson City.
Henderson Mayor Debra March, who previously announced her campaign for lieutenant governor, also officially filed for office on Monday. U.S. Air Force veteran Tony Grady also filed as a Republican candidate for lieutenant governor.
