David Flippo won the Republican primary for Nevada’s 2nd Congressional District after receiving President Donald Trump’s endorsement. The article also reports results and developments in several other Nevada races.
The Associated Press reports that retired Air Force Lt. Col. David Flippo won the Republican primary in Nevada’s 2nd Congressional District after Trump endorsed him in the closing weeks of the campaign. Flippo said he would fight for secure borders, American energy, tax cuts, national defense and the America First agenda. Democrats nominated Teresa Benitez-Thompson for the general election. Mark Amodei’s retirement opened the seat, and he and Republican Gov. Joe Lombardo had backed James Settelmeyer. Flippo criticized Settelmeyer’s voting record, saying some votes did not match conservative values.
The article also describes other Nevada contests. It says Democratic Rep. Susie Lee will face Marty O’Donnell in the 3rd District, and that O’Donnell thanked Trump in his victory statement. In the governor’s race, Aaron Ford won the Democratic primary and will face Lombardo. Ford blamed Trump and Lombardo for rising prices and pledged to lower family costs. The article also covers the Republican primaries for attorney general and secretary of state, including candidates’ comments and past actions concerning election security.
