50 Days, 50 Ways Sam Brown is Wrong for Nevada

Today marks 50 days until the November 5 election. In honor of this milestone, here are 50 ways Sam Brown is wrong for our state. 

1. Brown only moved to Nevada to run for office… he started running for U.S. Senate just three years after he arrived here, and reports say he even tried to run for State Assembly within one year.
2. He committed to only voting for anti-abortion Supreme Court Justices.
3. He supported Texas’ extreme abortion ban, which was considered one of the “toughest restrictions in the country.”
4. He recruited and managed the campaign of a “100% pro-life, no exceptions candidate” to run for office in Texas.
5. He served as the Nevada president and chairman of an extreme anti-abortion organization that called Roe v. Wade a “moral atrocity.”
6. He faced a Department of Justice (DOJ) complaint over his attempt to hide his leadership role at Nevada Faith & Freedom Coalition from Nevadans and even had his name scrubbed from their website. 
7. He was caught on tape opposing the ballot measure to constitutionally protect abortion rights in Nevada after months of refusing to answer questions about his position on it. 
8. He falsely said that reversing Roe v. Wade strengthened Nevada’s abortion protections. 
9. He said his anti-abortion stances were “non-negotiable.”
10. His campaign website directs women to crisis pregnancy centers known to spread dangerous anti-abortion misinformation.
11. He refused to endorse a woman running for reelection in Texas because she was “not married with children to provide for or nurture and has refused to plant roots.”
12. He supported Florida’s “Don’t Say Gay” Bill. 
13. He refused to say marriage equality should be protected after Roe v. Wade was overturned. 
14. He has extreme hardline positions on gun safety, including criticizing his 2022 primary opponent for supporting Red Flag laws and supporting individuals’ ability to manufacture their own ‘ghost guns.’ 
15. He repeatedly refused to support Bipartisan legislation restricting the manufacturing restrictions on bump stocks that made the 1 October shooting so deadly. 
16. He said he was unwilling to consider a “so-called” middle ground on gun safety reform just two days after the racially-motivated mass shooting in Buffalo, New York that killed 10 people. 
17. He called turning Nevada into a nuclear waste dumping ground an “incredible opportunity.”
18. He has called to eliminate the Environmental Protection Agency, which would gut our environmental protections for clean air and water.
19. He said the construction of solar and wind farms across the state was “not for the benefit of Nevadans.” 
20. He was caught on tape saying he “admires” an extreme plan that would phase out Social Security and Medicare in five years, calling it a “roadmap for a better America.”
21. He called the new law to cap the cost of insulin and lower prescription drug costs for seniors on Medicare “a big loss for the American people.”
22. He has called for repealing the Affordable Care Act on multiple occasions.

26. He followed Trump’s lead in opposing the Bipartisan Border Deal before the text of the bill was even released.
27. He wants to extend the GOP’s massive tax cuts for the ultra-wealthy and giant corporations.
28. He’s called for a major spike in interest rates that could have caused a recession – even admitting that it wouldn’t be “pretty or easy.”
29. He said the January 6th insurrectionists were displaying a “patriotic expression of their love of country.”
30. He supported efforts to overturn the election in 2020 in Nevada. 
31. He refused to answer questions about election fraud and his willingness to accept the results of his own race in 2024.
32. He’s been accused of swindling and misleading donors to pay off his losing campaign debts through his scam PAC – which one expert referred to as “a slush fund.”
33. He is currently facing an FEC complaint over the aforementioned “slush fund.”
34. He is facing a second FEC complaint over potential illegal coordination between his 2022 campaign and a super PAC that was conspicuously set up by his top allies to support his primary against Adam Laxalt. 
35. He is currently facing an FEC complaint alleging an illegal in-kind contribution this year from Brown’s personal Super PAC, Duty First Nevada PAC, to Brown’s Senate campaign. 
36. He is facing a DOJ complaint over his failure to disclose that he still managed a business in Texas even after he’d moved to Nevada.
37. He literally walks away from reporters trying to ask him basic questions.
38. He refused to debate his Republican primary opponents in 2024 after repeatedly shaming Adam Laxalt for only agreeing to one debate in 2022. 
39. He often touts his “humble roots” on the campaign trail while his billionaire NFL dynasty family that owns the Cincinnati Bengals bankrolls his failed campaigns. 
40. He blew off a campaign stop in Elko on his “rural tour” to instead attend a national conference in Nashville instead. 
41. He proudly campaigned with Donald Trump days after the former President’s unhinged debate performance, where he peddled bizarre anti-immigrant conspiracy theories and bragged about overturning Roe v. Wade.
42. He brought Ben Shapiro, who has likened abortion to slavery and called Social Security a “Ponzi scheme,” to Nevada to campaign with him. 
43. He brought Lindsey Graham, who has introduced federal abortion bills in almost every Congress since 2013, to Nevada to campaign with him. 
44. He brought Tom Cotton, whom he previously called a “creature” of D.C.’s “swamps,” to Nevada to campaign with him.
45. He was handpicked to run for Senate this cycle by Mitch McConnell and the NRSC.
46. He is proudly accepting McConnell’s support despite previously calling him a creature of D.C. swamps.

48. He described himself earlier this year to Fox News as “extremely conservative.”
