I'm not convinced by any means that Nevada is a blue state. Washoe and Clark counties continue to ruin it for the rest of us, but maybe this will change? Nye county ousted the Dominion machines, but these machines continue to show up at our poll stations. We're also an official mail-in ballot state, which is... aggravating.
I'm trying to do my research in advance, as I don't want to play a game of "whose name sounds better?" when I go to the polls. I have my own leanings, in terms of Based candidates, but I'm wondering if any fellow Nevadans have some insight regarding candidates that truly embody the Trump agenda.
A couple of candidates that have real potential: Adam Laxalt (US Senate), Joey Gilbert (Gov) -- but what about other races? Quite a few races going on, and I've heard very little about many of them.
Not a fan of his but Joey Gilbert is the best we have running.
Big NO to Lombardo. He's as dirty as Sisolak.
Sam Brown for Senate.
If you do facebook, there are a couple of groups like Battle Born Patriots (they have subgroups for each county) and Taking Nevada Back.
Why do you say Lombardo is as dirty as Sisolak? Please don't misunderstand, I will continue to do my own research, but I'd like to know your thoughts on the matter.
And why Sam Brown? He's struggling in the race against Laxalt, who has met Trump at Mar-a-Lago.
I know someone who worked with Mr Ahern; apparently Ahern is not a great guy, from what I was told. It's second-hand information, though, so take it for what you will.
This gets me, however:
And when Laxalt refused to sue Dominion voting machines company after the 2020 elections may folks had enough. This was before 360 News exposed that Laxalt had approved the purchase of the Dominion voting machines as Nevada Attorney General.
Assuming this is true (and I have no reason to believe it isn't), Laxalt should be held accountable.
Sorry I can't be of more help. I have memory/cognitive issues so I can remember "No" but the details of why are gone. I did vote for Laxalt for governor but then I read things about him and so now I am left with a "No" when it comes to him.
As an aside, I just received my voter pamphlet and the voting places are in grocery stores. I used to vote at the library but now I have to go the grocery store! And it says that I don't have to go to my neighborhood voting place. Is it that way where you are?
I looked in my area and you're right. There are several grocery stores listed as voting places, which I've never seen before. The closest voting place for me is a gym. Other places include: a college and several libraries.
I can't imagine a grocery store being a great place to vote. Very weird!
I thought he endorsed Lombardo?
ETA: just found it, he did

Interesting! I don't dislike Lombardo, but Joey Gilbert was on the warpath during Sissy-lack's COVID lockdowns. I really appreciated that.
Thanks for this!

I do not use FB, but that's good info! Thank you.
Here's a little bit about Laxalt:

Sorry for the late reply!

Lombardo . . . The whole Las Vegas shooting cover up is what really gets me. Then just watching LV descend into the toilet. Ugh!
But here is a blog that points out some of his flip flopping:

Ooof, Lombardo has made some sketchy statements. Lots of red flags.
I'll keep looking him up, but thanks again for all your help.
