Nevada's teacher of the year in 2013 has decided to take on Michele Fiore, the controversial assemblywoman who is in NPRI's Hall of Fame (or something) but is a prime Assembly Democratic Caucus target in a split district.
Jeff Hinton, who was given the award last year by Gov. Brian Sandoval, will take on Fiore in Assembly District 4, which is a slight plurality Democratic district (500 voters) and has 6,000 nonpartisan voters. Hinton also is a former Marine and NRA member who supports background checks, a key issue the Democrats hope to use against gun rights zealot Fiore, who even talked about packing while visiting a Culinary picket line on the Strip.
Fiore is not to be underestimated and she revels in grassroots campaigning. But Hinton has potential, and I don't see the GOP elite going out of its way to save Fiore.
