Republican Party (United States) Dean Heller Republican Party (United States) The 2012 United States Senate election in Nevada was held on Tuesday, November 6, 2012, concurrently with elections to the United States Senate in other states, elections to the United States House of Representatives, and the 2012 presidential election. The primary election was held on June 12, 2012. Incumbent Republican U.S. Senator Dean Heller, who was appointed to his seat in May 2011 following the resignation of Senator John Ensign, was narrowly elected to a full term over Representative Shelley Berkley, despite President Barack Obama carrying the state by 6.7% in the concurrent presidential election. As a result, Heller became the only Republican Senate candidate in 2012 to win in a state that was lost by the Republican presidential candidate. With a margin of 1.2%, this election was the second-closest race of the 2012 Senate election cycle, behind only the election in North Dakota. Despite the resignation of Ensign, this was not a special election. Nevada was the only state that had vacancy in Senate election already regularly scheduled for 2012. As of 2026, this is the last time that Republicans won a U.S. Senate election in Nevada. 2 Background John Ensign scandal Ensign was re-elected to the United States Senate in 2006 against Jack Carter, son of former president Jimmy Carter, 55% to 41%. His re-election campaign was expected to be complicated after it was revealed in 2009 that he had been involved in an extramarital affair with the wife of one of his campaign staffers, allegedly made payments to the woman's family and arranged work for her husband to cover himself.https://www.nytimes.com/2009/10/02/us/politics/02ensign.html Senator's Aid to Mistress's Husband Raises Ethics Flags The New York Times October 2, 2009 Eric Lichtblau Eric LiptonThe Washington Post July 9, 2009 http://voices.washingtonpost.com/thefix/senate/ensign-acknowledges-mistress-p.html https://web.archive.org/web/20121010235826/http://voices.washingtonpost.com/thefix/senate/ensign-acknowledges-mistress-p.html dead October 10, 2012 Chris Cillizza Ensign Acknowledges Mistress Payment The Senate Ethics Committee was to investigate Ensign, and his poll numbers declined significantly.Raju Manu John Bresnahan John Ensign running, despite ethics investigation Politico February 1, 2011 https://www.politico.com/story/2011/02/ensign-running-despite-investigation-048635 February 8, 2011MOLLY BALL New poll reveals Ensign's status sinking, But most Nevadans still say Republican senator should not resign http://www.lvrj.com/news/51133132.html Las Vegas Review-Journal Stephens Media, LLC July 19, 2009 July 20, 2009 There was speculation that he might resign before the election, but he initially said he would run for reelection.http://www.lasvegassun.com/news/2009/jul/14/ensign-stay-senate-seek-reelection Ensign to stay in Senate, seek reelection July 14, 2009 July 14, 2009 Las Vegas Sun Lisa Mascaro On March 7, 2011, Ensign announced that he would not seek reelection,https://www.politico.com/story/2010/11/ensign-planning-to-run-again-045246 Senator John Ensign announces he will not seek reelection March 7, 2011 March 7, 2011 Las Vegas Review-Journal Justin Yurkanin and on April 22, he announced that he would resign effective May 3.
