Martin to withdraw for CD3, run for Assembly 13

HENDERSON-Andrew Martin will end his campaign for Congressional District 3 today, according to aides, and will instead challenge Republican Chad Christensen in the 13th Assembly District.

Martin, a Las Vegas-based accountant, announced for CD3 last year, but his campaign was largely overlooked by Democratic heavyweights U.S. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, Rep. Shelley Berkley, Nevada Senate Minority Leader Dina Titus and the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, in favor of former Clark County chief deputy district attorney Robert Daskas.

Immediately following Daskas' withdrawal from the race Monday, state and national Democrats began calling for Titus to run in his stead.  Titus' announcement is expected in minutes.

According to one former state Democratic official, Titus met with Martin earlier in the week, leading Martin to the decision to withdraw and run for the Assembly instead.

Martin will be joining Titus on stage for her announcement in Henderson this afternoon.

"The party is completely supporting me," said Martin.
