Heck is in his third term serving a southern Nevada congressional district. He's now seeking the U.S. Senate seat soon to be vacated by Democrat Harry Reid.

Heck is facing off with Democratic former Nevada Attorney General Catherine Cortez Masto in what's expected to be one of the most competitive Senate races in the country.
