Jacky Rosen in 2024 NV Senate race
On Principles & Values:
Focus on solving problems instead of conspiracy theories
Republican Jim Marchant is running for Senate against incumbent Democrat Sen. Jacky Rosen. Marchant was one of many 2020 Republican candidates for secretary of state who promoted unfounded claims of fraud in the 2020 presidential election. He was part
of Nevada's alternate slate of false, pro-Trump electors who challenged results of the election. Marchant has said he wouldn't have certified President Joe Biden's victory."I am running for United States Senate to protect Nevadans from overbearing
government, where Jacky Rosen has failed you," Marchant said. He claimed American liberties are under siege because of illegal immigrants and leftist policies.
Rosen tweeted her response to Marchant's candidacy: "Nevadans deserve a Senator who will
fight for them, not a MAGA election denier who opposes abortion rights even in cases of rape and incest. While far-right politicians like Jim Marchant spread baseless conspiracy theories, I've always focused on solving problems for Nevadans."
