Another week, another round of infighting for Nevada’s Republican Senate candidates 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: Sam Brown was caught saying he’d turn Nevada into a nuclear waste dumping ground and then doubled down on his extreme stance – putting him at odds with pretty much everyone in Nevada, the Best Brawl in the West heats up as these candidates try to out-MAGA each other and fight, and the anniversary of the leaked Dobbs decision reminds us that Sam Brown is an anti-abortion extremist.
SAM BROWN DOUBLED DOWN ON TURNING NEVADA INTO A NUCLEAR WASTE DUMPING GROUND⛰️🛢️☢️
A breaking new report this week revealed that MAGA extremist Sam Brown supports a plan to store nuclear waste at Yucca Mountain – calling it an “incredible opportunity.” When asked to clarify his position this week, Brown doubled down on his extreme stance – refusing to commit to keeping the rest of the nation’s nuclear waste out of Nevada.
Brown managed to put himself squarely out of step with nearly every pocket of the state – including members of his own party. And Jeff Gunter didn’t hesitate to make his thoughts on Brown’s toxic position known:

🌪️A WHIRLWIND WEEK FOR THE BEST BRAWL IN THE WEST 🌪️
It’s been a whirlwind week for the Best Brawl in the West as Gunter and Brown fight to out-MAGA each other in the messy primary that even Mitch McConnell is calling “tough” for his handpicked candidate Sam Brown. Yikes!
Brown continued his far-right media tour this week, telling Fox News:
- “I am extremely conservative”
- “I have been on the campaign trail for effectively the last three years”
- “I am a pro-America First candidate”
These talking points from Brown might be getting stale as he makes yet another desperate attempt to pander to former president Donald Trump and the far-right wing of his party, no?
ANNIVERSARY OF LEAKED SCOTUS DECISION TO OVERTURN ROE V. WADE IS A REMINDER OF BROWN’S CONSTANT ATTACKS ON REPRODUCTIVE FREEDOM
On the second anniversary of the Dobbs decision leak, abortion rights in Nevada still remain under threat because of anti-abortion candidates like MAGA extremist Sam Brown, who strongly supported overturning Roe v. Wade that paved the way for the extreme abortion bans in states across the country.
This past weekend, Brown doubled down on his extreme anti-abortion agenda, refusing to sign the Nevadans For Reproductive Freedom petition to enshrine abortion rights in the Nevada Constitution. Instead he chose to attend a fundraiser for a radical anti-abortion organization.
This should tell you everything you need to know about where Brown stands on women’s rights to make decisions about their own healthcare.
