CARSON CITY —

Lynn Hettrick, deputy chief of staff to Gov. Jim Gibbons and a former assemblyman, has filed to run for Douglas County clerk-treasurer.

Hettrick, 66, said he will stay on with Gibbons through December. If he wins he will take over the clerk-treasurer job in January. He has been deputy chief of staff for nine months.

There are two other Republicans in the race, including incumbent Ted Thran who was appointed in 2008.

Hettrick served in the Assembly from 1993 to 2006 and was co-speaker of the House in 1995.

He said he wants to stay in the governor's office to start preparing the policies and budget for the 2011 Legislature.

"Hettrick, 66, said he will stay on with Gibbons through December."

Gibbons will be leaving the first of January 2011 regardless, so it won't be much of a hardship for the governor.

Thanks for milking the taxpayers until Dec Lynn. Your a great conservative. And you wonder why most of the mean 15 have not been re-elected. Beers, Angle, Hettrick think Gibbons is a hero. I hate to tell you but the middle is the majority.
