clearvision Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 Los Angeles Times:Sen. John Ensign (R-Nev.), facing an ethics investigation stemming from an affair with a campaign aide, has announced that he won't seek reelection. Ensign made the announcement Monday in Las Vegas.Just two months into the 112th Congress, Ensign is the eighth Senate incumbent to opt out of running for a new term, out of 33 seats up in 2012.The announcement is welcome news to national Republicans who have admitted the two-term Republican would be vulnerable in the race. GOP Rep. Dean Heller, who won three statewide elections as secretary of State, is considered the party's best candidate to retain the seat.
