Nevada MAGA Mayhem – Weekly Senate Update 3/8

Another week, another round of infighting for Nevada Senate Republicans who are making this the messiest and ugliest Senate primary in the country. This is Nevada MAGA Mayhem, your weekly update on the latest news from the Nevada Senate Republican Primary. 

KEY TAKEAWAYS: The countdown for when Brown said he would debate begins, Gunter cozies up to Donald Trump at Mar-A-Lago while all the MAGA primary candidates are vying for his support, and Brown ~ once again ~ refuses to say whether he would support federal protections for IVF!  

⏰THE COUNTDOWN TO WHEN SAM BROWN SAID HE WILL DEBATE BEGINS ⏰

After getting criticized on almost all fronts for skipping every GOP primary debate this cycle and refusing to face Nevada voters, Mitch McConnell’s handpicked candidate Sam Brown appears to finally be ready to join the debate stage after the campaign filing deadline on March 15th. 

During his failed 2022 Senate bid, Sam Brown publicly challenged Adam Laxalt to multiple primary debates – even going so far as to call Laxalt “a typical career politician cowardly hiding from voters,” and claiming that instead of debating, “(Laxalt’s) in DC with Mitch McConnell and an audience of DC lobbyists.”  

Will Sam Brown keep his campaign promise to debate after March 15th, or will he continue to refuse to face primary voters and defend his toxic record? We will see!

GUNTER FUNDRAISES AT MAR A LAGO AS THE FIGHT FOR TRUMP’S ENDORSEMENT CONTINUES 💸💸

This week, former Trump Ambassador Jeff Gunter was fundraising with the disgraced former president at his Mar-A-Lago resort. Apparently, Gunter was “Incredibly honored to have the support of the authentic America First faithful!!!” 

This comes during a messy MAGA primary full of candidates desperate to prove their loyalty and devotion to Donald Trump so they can win over the far-right MAGA wing of their party. 

Just last month, Sam Brown was literally flying up and down the state to be seen caucusing and canvassing and supporting Trump, after spending months claiming he was going to stay out of the presidential primary.

EXTREME ANTI-CHOICE POLITICIAN, SAM BROWN REFUSES TO SUPPORT BILL TO FEDERALLY PROTECT IVF TREATMENT 

Last weekend, the Las Vegas Sun reported that MAGA extremist Sam Brown refused to say how he would vote on legislation to protect IVF,  proving what we already knew, that he is another extreme anti-choice politician who will always stand with his party instead of protecting Nevadans’ rights. 

Sam Brown didn’t respond when asked how he would vote on a bill to federally protect IVF treatment after Senate Republicans, led by top Brown ally Cindy Hyde-Smith, voted against. Hyde-Smith, who also chairs the Senate Pro-Life Caucus, personally hosted a fundraiser for Brown’s campaign just last year and donated $5K through her PAC last quarter.  

We won’t let Nevada voters forget Sam Brown’s strong support for overturning Roe v. Wade opened the door for these attacks on women’s reproductive freedoms.
