CARSON CITY – Assemblywoman Sheila Leslie, D-Reno, who is stopped from running for reelection because of term limits, will seek a seat in the Senate to succeed Sen. Bernice Mathews, D-Reno.
Leslie has served in the Assembly since 1998 and was majority whip in the 2009 legislative session and vice chairwoman of the Assembly Ways and Means Committee, which draws up the budget.
Mathews is prohibited from running for reelection by the constitutional ban on members having more than 12 years in the Senate or Assembly.
Leslie is a special courts administrator in Washoe District Court.
