In 2004, however, the Republican incumbant received 67% of the vote. Among Republicans, Heller is a moderate, and he beat out both Gibbons, the early front-runner, and Angle, who had major financial support from the Club for Growth.

Jon Porter (R) 102,176 48%

- Outlook: Hafen is a staffer for Sen. Harry Reid. She is Mormon and her father's been on the Henderson City Council for nearly 20 years, so she has connections.
