Washoe County DA acknowledges mistake in political endorsement

RENO - Washoe County District Attorney Richard Gammick has urged voters to join him in casting a ballot for state Sen. Greg Brower, but there's just one catch: He doesn't live in Brower's district.

The Reno Gazette-Journal reported Gammick urged support for the fellow Reno Republican in a letter to the editor.

In the letter, Gammick wrote, "Please join my wife and me in casting a vote for a positive future for Nevada and Washoe County by voting for Sen. Greg Brower."

But a neighbor of Gammick's questioned how he could vote for Brower because he wasn't in his district.

Gammick said he made a mistake and didn't realize it until he got his sample ballot. He said he thought he was in Brower's district after redistricting.
