Retired Army captain Sam Brown, who lost in the Republican primary for the U.S. Senate in Nevada in 2022, is launching another bid for the seat. He is setting his sights on vulnerable Democratic Sen. Jacky Rosen.
Brown, who was severely wounded in Afghanistan in 2010, is a rising star in the Republican Party. He has received endorsements from former President Donald Trump and other GOP figures.
In a statement announcing his candidacy, Brown criticized Rosen as being “out of touch” with the needs of Nevadans. He plans to focus on issues such as inflation, crime, and border security.
“Nevada needs a senator who will fight for the people, not the special interests,” Sam Brown said. “I’m running for Senate because I believe we can do better.”
Rosen is considered one of the most vulnerable Democrats up for re-election in 2024. She narrowly won her first term in 2016, and her state has been leaning increasingly Republican in recent years.
Brown’s candidacy is expected to give Republicans a boost in their efforts to take back the Senate. He is a well-known and well-funded candidate who could appeal to independent voters seeking an alternative to Rosen.
The 2024 Senate race in Nevada is anticipated to be highly competitive. Brown’s candidacy is sure to add further intensity to the race.
Here are some additional details about Brown’s candidacy:
- He is a retired Army captain who was severely wounded in Afghanistan in 2010.
- He is a rising star in the Republican Party and has been endorsed by former President Donald Trump.
- He is running on a platform of fighting inflation, crime, and border security.
- He is considered to be a strong challenger to Democratic Sen. Jacky Rosen.
