Nevada Gov. Brian Sandoval presents his proposed business license fee plan to lawmakers at the Legislative Building in Carson City on Wednesday, March 18, 2015.

CARSON CITY — Nevada Gov. Brian Sandoval says he plans to decide "very soon" on the next step in his political career.

The widely popular Republican has been saying he was laser-focused on getting a $1.1 billion tax plan and major education initiatives past state lawmakers. He scored a major victory when the Republican-dominated Legislature approved a tax hike and budget before closing down their 120-day session on Monday.

Sandoval's name has been discussed as a potential candidate for the U.S. Senate seat being vacated by Harry Reid, or as a vice presidential candidate.

The governor told reporters on Tuesday that he's been ignoring outside political interests asking about his career prospects, but said an announcement will come in the near future.
