In a significant development in Nevada's political landscape, Governor Joe Lombardo officially endorsed Sam Brown for the U.S. Senate race at The Nevada Independent's IndyTalks event in Reno on 2024-03-07. This endorsement, announced at the event and reiterated through various media reports, positions Brown as a prominent Republican contender in the primary scheduled for June, where the winner will challenge Democratic Senator Jacky Rosen in the fall elections. Lombardo, who defended his 75 vetoes last session at the event, is notable given his role as a former sheriff and his recent support for Donald Trump, despite previous criticisms. This move has sparked discussions and reactions across the political spectrum, with some questioning the advantage of Lombardo's support due to his controversial past, including his handling of the Las Vegas shooting investigation.

Why would @CaptainSamBrown think having @JoeLombardoNV’s endorsement is a good thing? Remember, Joe Lombardo is the former Sheriff who covered up the Las Vegas shooting. He was never a Trump supporter till he ran for Governor. He doesn’t even believe the election was stolen.… https://t.co/WMCCIzgwyq
