The Fernley Reporter
U.S. Senate candidate Danny Tarkanian will be the guest speaker at the next meeting of The Fernley Republican Women, at the Fernley High School Library, 1300 Highway 95A, on Feb. 20.
A light meal will be served at 6 p.m. and the meeting will start promptly at 6:30 p.m. The public is always invited to attend.
Tarkanian was born on Dec. 18, 1961. He attended Bishop Gorman High School in Las Vegas where he excelled in both academics and sports.
After one year of junior college at Dixie Junior College in Southern Utah, Tarkanian moved back to Las Vegas. He enrolled at UNLV where he again not only excelled in athletics – serving at the basketball team’s point guard and captain – but academics, as well. He was the school’s first Rhodes Scholar candidate, was twice named First-Team Academic All-American by the NCAA and graduated with high honors.
Tarkanian went on to graduate magna cum laude from the University of San Diego School of Law, where he graduated third out of a class of 254.
He practiced law for seven years, including three as the founder of his own law firm.
He’s now running for the second time for the U.S. Senate.
