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.

Staff confirms, Daskas 'bowing out'

By Joseph K. Cooper

Staff for congressional candidate Robert Daskas have confirmed that he will be dropping his bid to challenge Jon Porter for the 3rd Congressional District seat.

An announcement is expected very soon.

Robert Daskas was courted by the DCCC to run for the seat after Nevada Senate Minority Leader Dina Titus, former Speaker Richard Perkins, and Clark Couny Commission Chairman Rory Reid all declined to make a run. Reportedly, the DCCC is already speaking with Titus again.

Daskas dropping out leaves accountant Andrew Martin the only announced Democrat in the race.
