Former Las Vegas City Councilman Bob Beers, 57, plans to run for Nevada state treasurer in 2018.
State Treasurer Dan Schwartz, also a Republican, has expressed an interest in running in the GOP primary for governor in 2018 instead of seeking a second term as treasurer.
Attorney General Adam Laxalt is also expected to enter the GOP primary for governor.
Beers served in the legislature from 1998 to 2008. He was in the Las Vegas City Council from 2012 to 2017.
