Nevada representative talks of hope for Millennium Scholarship

Joe Heck, currently challenging Congresswoman Dina Titus for the 3rd Congressional District, might want to deal with this blast-from-the-past sign, which my spies report is currently up on Sunset Road in Henderson.
Yeah, that’s the wrong office! Heck hasn’t been a candidate for state Senate since 2008, when he was defeated by Shirley Breeden. And he’s certainly not running for re-election. I know mistakes happen on campaigns, but the mistakes are much easier to see when they’re on huge signs, no?
