In 2004,Tarkanian ran for the Nevada Senate and lost the general election.
In 2006, he won the Repblican nomination for Nevada Secretary of State, but lost in the general election.
Danny Tarkanian has no Republican Party political history other than self promoted losing campaigns.
He has no history in the party.
His dad was a somewhat noted basketball coach at UNLV after being fired in California for NCAA recruiting violations. Danny Tarkanian was his father's assistant coach at Fresno State after his father was run out of UNLV.

“Danny Tarkanian has no Republican Party political history...”
“He has no history in the party.”
I assume these are reasons to vote FOR Tarkanian.
Danny sued for slander and WON - not an easy thing to do. He discovered during all of this that Harry Reid had his hand quite heavily in the "information" that was in the ads.
I have complete faith in Danny. He is a Constitutionalist, believes in SMALL government and is PRO small business. He is also PRO life - PRO Yucca Mountain. . .etc. He is a businessman - just like a number of fellow Nevadans. He knows what the "little guy" is going through. He runs a charitible foundation for at risk - inner city youth too.
His closest opponent is Sue Lowden. She just recently updated her website to include her political views. Prior to that it was all about her stint as Miss New Jersey (I think it was NJ) and all of the charitible things she has done. Nothing of substance.
I saw her at a forum a couple months back (most of her opponents were there too) and she was rude, completely disinterested in the event and left early because she had a fund raiser to attend. She loudly announced to a group that her scheduler had put her at two events at one time and she would be replaced come Monday. Very unprofessional.
