With the precipitous resignation of GOP Senator John Ensign, Republican Governor Brian Sandoval will likely appoint GOP Rep. Dean Heller to the position. But, the seat becomes available in November 2012 and Heller’s apparent opponent will be Democrat Rep. Shelley Berkley, who represents the Las Vegas area of the state.

This will be a hard fought contest with the Casino unions going all out to re-claim this seat from the GOP.

However, Rep. Heller is a popular and well-known POL who will be the incumbent.
