Rep. Dean Heller, R-Nev., easily advanced to the general election Tuesday night with a 4-1 victory margin over Patrick Colletti.
"We're not going to treat this any different than we have in the previous two races in Congress," he said from his Washington, D.C., office. "In fact, we worked hard this primary too, went to every parade. We're not taking it for granted. I'll be in Douglas County for Carson Valley Days and at the Reno Rodeo next week."
Who Heller will face in November was still undecided at press time.
Democratic candidate Nancy Price had 45.3 percent of the vote, and Ken McKenna had 44.5 percent, with 45 of 1,029 precincts still to be tabulated.
"The sentiment out there isn't pro incumbent right now," Heller said.
Asked about his goals if and when he wins a third term in the House, he said he will continue emphasizing the issues that are most important to the district.
"Obviously the most important issue I hear in my district right now is the economy and jobs," Heller said. "They want the economy moving. They want jobs."
