Army veteran Sam Brown announces bid for U.S. Senate seat in Nevada

Retired U.S. Army Capt. Sam Brown, an Army veteran who sustained severe injuries during a 2008 deployment in Afghanistan, has announced his entry into Nevada's 2024 U.S. Senate race with the backing of Senate Republicans. Brown, who previously ran in the 2022 Republican Senate primary, emphasized his military history and positioned himself as the best candidate to challenge incumbent Sen. Jacky Rosen (D-NV). The primary race will be held on June 11, and Brown will face competition from former state assemblyman Jim Marchant, who has Trump ties. The National Republican Senatorial Committee is supporting Brown's campaign, hoping he can win the primary and appeal to independents in the general election.
