Son's Senate bid brings Jimmy Carter to Nevada's capital city

[NVMojo]

CARSON CITY, Nev. (AP) - When former President Jimmy Carter arrives in Nevada's capital city on Monday, to back his son's U.S. Senate bid, it will be the first time a sitting or former president has attended an event here in more than 70 years.

The former president and several other members of the family will appear at campaign events in both Las Vegas and Carson City for Jack Carter, who's challenging John Ensign, the Republican incumbent seeking a second term in the Senate.

Presidents and former presidents have appeared at numerous events in Reno, Lake Tahoe and Las Vegas over the years. Richard Nixon campaigned in Reno as did Lyndon Johnson during the 1960s.

Most recently, President George W. Bush made several appearances in northern Nevada in 2000 and 2004, at Lake Tahoe and Reno. Before that, then-President Bill Clinton attended the Lake Tahoe environmental forum in 1997.
