WASHINGTON — Last night, anti-abortion, anti-equality and Trump-endorsed MAGA candidate for U.S. Senate Sam Brown won Nevada’s GOP primary. Brown’s praise for the many radical and harmful policies promoted by Donald Trump, along with his own MAGA-inspired, anti-equality political agenda, makes Brown an alarming nominee for U.S. Senate:
He served as chairman of the Nevada Faith and Freedom Coalition, whose national chapter advocates for some of the harshest anti-abortion laws in the country, and he supported Texas’s abortion ban.
When conservative radio host Wayne Allen Root falsely claimed that schools were teaching “transgender ideology” and praising Florida’s “Don’t Say LGBTQ+” law, Brown agreed saying “that sort of indoctrination has no place in our schools.”
Showing his misogynistic and racist colors, Brown called for “less Ketanji Brown Jackson” and “more Clarence Thomas,” or far-right extremism, on the Supreme Court.
Jared Todd, HRC Equality Votes PAC Spokesperson, released the following statement:
“Nevadans deserve much better than a MAGA and Trump sycophant like Sam Brown representing them in Washington. Brown’s embrace of regressive thinking around issues pertaining to the LGBTQ+ community, women and people of color should be alarming to the voters of Nevada, who have long been a leader in fighting for equality. Sam Brown belongs nowhere near the U.S. Senate, and the HRC Equality Votes PAC and more than half a million Equality Voters in Nevada will ensure he never gets there.”
HRC’s Equality Votes PAC will be mobilizing 560,000 Nevada Equality Voters–voters modeled to prioritize LGTBQ+ equality when making their voting decisions–from now until November to ensure they know about Brown’s dangerous record and understand what’s at stake for LGTBQ+ Nevadans.
