Vinny Spotleson, a former staffer for U.S. Sen. Harry Reid, has announced his bid for the Nevada Assembly in District 21.

Spotleson, a Democrat, said he will challenge Republican incumbent Derek Armstrong, who served as chairman of the powerful Assembly Taxation Committee during the 2015 Legislature.

Spotleson, 28, worked on the unsuccessful 2006 U.S. Senate campaign of Jack Carter, son of former President Jimmy Carter. He later joined Reid’s staff as manager of conservation and energy issues in Southern Nevada.
