Krolicki, Heller, Heck get Romney nod

Republican presidential hopeful Mitt Romney this morning announced endorsements of three Nevada GOP candidates.

Romney, the former Massachusetts governor, gave his blessings to Lt. Gov. Brian Krolicki for re-election, Rep. Dean Heller for re-election, and to Joe Heck, the favorite to emerge from the June 8 primary to challenge Rep. Dina Titus in the 3rd Congressional District.

Romney's political action committee, the Free & Strong America PAC, also was sending $2,500 donations to Heller and Heck, the organization said.

Romney did not pick from among the Republicans running to take on incumbent Sen. Harry Reid, presumably because that primary still is being contested.
