Midterms around the corner, your thoughts on the Nevada candidates??
MIDTERMS DISCUSSION
I’ve been seeing polls where Reps are in large lead (not factoring independents or undecided either) NV people’s, what are your thought on the candidates and should we watch out for anything??
P.S. this may be one of many threads to come! Participation is appreciated

I'm independent/unaffiliated and will vote red across the board.
Not a fan of either Lombardo or Laxalt but will vote for them anyway. The Dems commercials against Marchant and Chattah have actually convinced me to vote for them.
Not sure about Question 3. Open primary would be nice so that I don't have to change my registration to vote in a primary but I can see how people can switch parties just to get a weak candidate to go against their real parties candidate.

Thank you! I didn't realize it meant ranked voting. Will definitely vote no!
Q1 and Q2 are also a "no" for me. Q1 is about adding more language to the equal opportunity clause in the NV constitution, including making it possible to "interpret" men as being able to participate in women's sports. They also muddle things by using the word "creed" to generally refer to religion, which I don't like.
Q2 is about constitutionally requiring minimum wage, even though the legislature already passed this same measure as law (to start in 2024). I could be wrong, but my general reaction to min wage has been a "no", anyway.
I usually vote no to anything that wants to change the Constitution. Leave it the hell alone.
Democrats trying to fig the system. Look at states that already have jungle primaries, like CA. Since they went to ranked primaries in CA, Republicans have basically been shoved out.
True but Republicans have also gotten in when it is one versus four democrats in heavily democrat regions
We have ranked choice for local elections in my town. Prior to ranked choice, we had probably a 40% (R), 60% (D) split on city council and the Mayor would flip back and forth between parties pretty regularly. Since ranked choice, we have 100%(D) city council and have the same Dem Mayor (that most people pretty much hate) for the last 4 election cycles. We'll have one strong (R) contender to a position, one or two dem candidates, then like 5 R candidates (Some of which are Dem plants) that all split the R vote leading to a dem win after about 6 rounds of elimination. It's obviously rigged but the dems in control foisted the system on us without a vote.
Spread the word. It means ranked choice
Jim Marchant is a good man. If I still lived there I would have no hesitation in voting for him. Very down to Earth. Had the pleasure of being on the campaign trailwoth him many timew when I ran for office in the last and at various State and County party meetings/events.
No open primaries. No ranked choice. These are being used to manipulate. Just look at Wyoming and Alaska, respectively.
Marchant is the most outspoken SOS candidate as far as Election shit. A+++++++
The choice of Lombardo as Gov is.. voting under duress because he sucks.
I "like" Laxalt.
I felt there were much stronger candidates in the primary than what we've been left with.
Lombardo is being rewarded for his shutting up about Mandalay.
I agree, Deep Staters always get rewarded.
Felt the same. Did my hw for the primaries, and many strong conservative candidates got voted out. Sam Brown and Joey Gilbert were my chosen candidates for Senate and Gov, respectively.
I had written to Mark Amodei regarding True the Vote and 2020 election fraud, and from his reply I'd rather write in a candidate than ever give him my vote.
Yes, Gilbert was robbed. Laxalt was robbed of the governorship in 2018 with the same overnight shenanigans we saw in 2020. Went to bed with the race actually called for Laxalt only to wake up in the morning to find that all the races had flipped. I am really not holding my breath. The politics in Nevada have been corrupt for so long it is hard to get too excited. The only way I can see significant wins is by the turnout being so large that it breaks the cheat.
Other than some of the work Amodei did for the vets, I don't have much use for him either. He started out good but has turned out to be disappointing. But, he is still a hell of a lot better than the Dems in this state. I am getting so sick of voting for hold your nose Republicans.
There. You hit the nail on the head. “Hold your nose Republicans” describes it perfectly.
Have voted for more of them than I care to remember.
I despise Amodei. Every time I have written to him about a concern the response was essentially, "Too bad, so sad, I'm going to do what I want!" Way to treat your constituents!
That secretary of state race is an important one there in NV to safeguard 2024. What are the odds of that one going Republican?
With cheating or without?? 🤪
Fair point! 🙃
Lombardo will be elected due to coordination with FBI over route 91 shooting. This for that.
Vote NO on Question 3!
Not a fan of Lombardo but I guess lesser of two evils. Lots of close acquaintances and some friends running that I fully support. Laxalt has come a long way from the very dull guy I sat next to at a couple of Lincoln Day dinners in 2018 where I promptly fell asleep listening to him.
I think Lombardo cut a deal with Trump or has been flipped. Hard to believe Lombardo is clean given his Vegas affiliation (and possible Harry Reid connection). But this is why the Chief Endorsing Officer (CEO) is such important role.
Vote straight Red, imo, unless you are VERY sure otherwise.
Jim Marchant for Secretary of State, Michele Fiore for Treasurer, and Sam Peters for congress NV 4 all amazing humans and TRUE patriots.
Most R’s in Nevada would be a huge improvement over the Dems running. Not convinced Lombardo is a principled conservative he didn’t do anything to track down the Oct 1st shooter(s) and looked weak with the FBI handlers. Laxalt is running on his family name. Again not my first choice. That being said both are hands down better than Sisolak and Cortez. Not convinced the Dems aren’t busy manufacturing another 10,000 dead or out of state ballots to assure a victory for the “regime.” Down ticket, if there is an R I’m voting for them on Election Day only. No mail in no early voting for me and my family.
NV peeps pissed at continuous Dem cheating from what I hear. Whole state knows massive cheating of Vegas by Harry Reid crime syndicate. 15% hardcore Dems been rigging elections since 2004. State is red (possibly 80% Republican) and Dems may never win another election except dog-catcher once cheating fully stopped.
Any thoughts on the Sec of State, Sheriff, AG, school boards, etc??
I had asked a school board member (our only good one) for her thought. She sent me a screenshot of our “conservative golden ticket” I wonder if you might have one too.
I’m not from NV, instead, I’m posting threads like this regarding key states
I think I know who you are talking about and she's great!
Jim Marchant is a good dude for Sec. and Sigal Chattah will make a great AG ( F Ford he is a super douche).
I'm afraid I don't know who the NV candidates are but I'm praying for red everywhere.
Lived there last year. During election 600k votes notified for Republicans
Sure hope it goes better this time.
October should be a revolting reminder of the liar Lombardo standing in front of media jerking off the feds.
Interesting what role Lombardo played in Las Vegas shooting coverup. I wonder if Trump has him by the balls on this? Surely this would be an executable offense. I believe he was LV police chief at the time.
Pretty sure one does not become police chief in LV unless “selected” by the crime bosses.
I'm just voting R all the way.
Easy to remember. :)
Bummed that Sam Brown and Joey Gilbert did not win their primaries (still have doubts about legitimacy) but going straight R ticket. Have a little faith in Laxalt and think Lombardo will be a Rino like Sandoval was. Amodei is an establishment douche, Marchant is a good dude and Sigal Chattah should have at least put out one ad defending herself. also going NO on Q 1, 2 and 3. Going to be a poll watcher in Lyon County and been trying to be a ballot count watcher but for some reason no one in the NV GOP wants to talk to me about that...
Nevada candidates? Always a gamble. 😉
