Small Nevada Town Embracing Marco Rubio Visit

YERINGTON, Nev. (AP) — Republican presidential hopeful Marco Rubio will make history for a rural, west Nevada town when he visits there this week.

The mayor of Yerington tells the Reno Gazette-Journal that the small town has never been a campaign stop for an active presidential candidate.

Mayor George Dini, who is a Democrat, says he thinks voters from both parties will attend Rubio's scheduled Tuesday meet-and-greet at the Pioneer Crossing convention center.
