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.

"Right now, I plan on spending some time with my family. With so many challenges before the country and our communities, the time is not to focus on campaigns; the time is to focus on solutions. I think people are tired of campaigns."
