Republican Reno attorney Charles Kozak toured the state Monday seeking publicity for his U.S. Senate bid.

Kozak, a political unknown, is joining a race with potential primary opponents who have polling data showing voters would prefer them to Sen. Harry Reid, D-Nev.

The list of candidates and potential candidates includes Las Vegan Danny Tarkanian; Nevada Republican Party Chairwoman Sue Lowden; former Assemblywoman Sharron Angle; state Sen. Mark Amodei, R-Carson City; investment banker John Chachas; former Nevada Test Site worker Bill Parson; Robin Titus, a medical doctor, and Mike Wiley.

Kozak criticized Reid for supporting economic stimulus bills and plans Kozak says would "nationalize medicine."

During an announcement at a vacant Dodge dealership near Interstate 215 and Rainbow Boulevard, Kozak said he would spend his own money to campaign.

    "Dog breath", of course it's ego. Ego is what drives every politician, both good and bad. Even the best, most sincere politicians or leaders require enough ego to think "hey, these people need me, and i'm the only one who can lead them." Anyone with a waning ego would shrink from the opportunity to lead.

    When the next election comes along, Harry Reid is going down like a power window. The handwriting is on the wall as his fellow democrats in the Senate are beginning to jockey to take over his position.
