Nevada Republican who lost 2022 Senate primary seeking Democratic Sen. Rosen's seat in key US match
A Purple Heart recipient who lost Nevada’s 2022 GOP Senate primary has filed his formal candidacy for the seat held by first-term Democratic Sen. Jacky Rosen
CARSON CITY, Nev. (AP) — Retired Army Capt. Sam Brown, who lost Nevada’s 2022 GOP Senate primary, filed his formal candidacy Thursday for the seat held by first-term Sen. Jacky Rosen in a race Republicans have targeted nationally as one of their best chances to knock off an incumbent Democrat.
Brown, a Purple Heart recipient, has been considered the early GOP front-runner in a crowded primary field since he announced he was running last summer, less than a year after he lost his bid to challenge Nevada's other Democratic senator in the western battleground state.
Last time, Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto went on to defeat Republican Adam Laxalt by just 8,000 votes in the western battleground state — the closest Senate race in the nation in 2022.
