LAS VEGAS -- The son of U.S. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid has formally entered the Democratic race for Nevada governor, saying the state needs to diversify its economy and stop postponing difficult decisions.
Clark County Commissioner Rory Reid said Wednesday he doesn't think his father will have a big effect on his campaign to become the state's top executive. He says Nevadans ask him about issues, not his father.
He says Nevada has become too reliant on the gambling industry and needs a more diverse economy to pull out of the recession.
Nevada lawmakers face the possibility of a $2.4 billion budget shortfall during the next legislative session in 2011.
