WASHINGTON -- Sen. Harry Reid, D-Nev., and his wife were granted full rights to 18 acres of undeveloped land in Searchlight following the death of a longtime friend. He obtained a gift waiver from the Senate ethics committee to accept the property valued at $10,000.

Rep Shelley Berkley, D-Nev., moved into a home she bought at more than $1 million on Capitol Hill for when Congress is in session. It is a block away from a previous residence she and her husband ended up keeping as an investment property.

Sen. John Ensign, R-Nev., and his wife set up investment accounts for their three children, ages 14, 10 and 8.

Tessa Hafen, a Democrat from Henderson who quit her job as a U.S. Senate adviser to run for Congress, is supporting herself in part as a substitute teacher in Clark County schools.

U.S. Senate candidate Jack Carter, a Democrat from Las Vegas, owns a piece of the landmark family farm in Plains, Ga., made famous during the presidency of his father Jimmy.

Details of the personal finances for Nevada lawmakers and congressional aspirants were found in disclosure reports that were released by Congress on Wednesday covering 2005, and part of 2006 for certain filers.

The reports list the approximate value of their investments, income derived from their holdings, financial transactions, speaking fees and travel accepted from private groups.

An exact accounting is impossible to determine since the lawmakers and candidates are allowed to list the value of their assets in broad ranges. They don't have to report the value of their personal residences or the incomes of their spouses.

They also are not required to list their salaries from Congress, which was $162,100 in 2005 for rank-and-file members. Reid made $180,100 as Senate minority leader.

The reports provide a snapshot of the Nevada politicians' personal lives and financial choices. Most of them provided copies before their official release. The report for Dean Heller of Carson City, the Nevada secretary of state who is running for the House, could not be obtained on Wednesday.

Berkley and her husband Dr Larry Lehrner appear to be the wealthiest, with net assets of at least $4.1 million and at most $17.8 million.

Sharron Angle, a Republican state senator from Reno running for the House, received a $1,099 commission last year from Melaleuca, a "wellness product" company out of Idaho Falls, Idaho.

Jill Derby, a Democrat and university regent running for Congress from Gardnerville, holds rental properties with her husband in San Jose, Calif., and at Lake Tahoe, valued at more than $1 million apiece.

Barney Regan, a longtime Reid friend and co-owner of an 18-acre mining claim in Searchlight they purchased in 1979, died in March 2005. Regan transferred his interest to the Reids before he died, according to an account by the Senate ethics committee that granted Reid a waiver to accept the gift.

The assessed taxable value of the property is $10,000, Reid told the ethics panel.
