CARSON CITY, Nev. (AP) - A number of presidential candidates are planning to attend a barbecue in rural Nevada hosted by state Attorney General Adam Laxalt.
Laxalt will host several candidates at a Basque-style barbecue at the Corley Ranch in Gardnerville on Aug. 15.
Political operative and former Laxalt campaign manager Robert Uithoven said Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker, Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, former New York Gov. George Pataki, former Hewlett-Packard CEO Carly Fiorina and retired neurosurgeon Dr. Ben Carson will attend the event, which is about 50 miles outside of Reno.
He said the barbecue will be open to the public and will give voters in rural Nevada a chance to interact with presidential candidates, who traditionally only visit Reno and Las Vegas. He said no poll or debate between candidates is scheduled.
