Senate GOP lands Nevada recruit for one of the most competitive races in America

Army veteran Sam Brown gave the NRSC some welcome news on Monday when the Republican declared he'd challenge Democratic Sen. Jacky Rosen in Nevada, which is home to one of the most competitive Senate races in America. 

Brown's declaration was greeted with an enthusiastic statement from NRSC chair Steve Daines, who said he was "very pleased that Sam is stepping up to run for the U.S. Senate." Brown made his declaration about two months after Jim Marchant, the Big Lie spreader who narrowly lost last year’s race for Nevada secretary of state, kicked off his own bid. Dermatologist Jeffrey Ross Gunter, who had a turbulent tenure as Trump's ambassador to Iceland from 2019 to 2021, is also reportedly interested in running.
