Pence to raise money for Heller in Nevada

Vice President Pence is scheduled to travel to Las Vegas next week to boost support for Sen. Dean Heller (R-Nev.), who is facing a tough reelection campaign.

Politico reported Wednesday that Pence will attend an April 13 fundraiser for Heller. The event costs $1,000 to attend and $10,000 for a photo reception. 

Pence has spent the past several weeks attending events around the country to tout the GOP tax-cut legislation passed late last year, and to back Republican candidates heading into what is expected to be a difficult midterm season.

{mosads}He has recently made stops in Nebraska, Pennsylvania, Iowa and Kentucky to support Republican candidates.

Heller avoided a tough primary when Danny Tarkanian announced he would run for a House seat after President Trump urged him not to challenge Heller for Senate.

Tarkanian instead will run for the House seat vacated by Rep. Jacky Rosen (D-Nev.), who is running to unseat Heller.

The Cook Political Report, a nonpartisan election forecaster, rates the Nevada senate race as a toss-up.
