Jim Marchant in 2024 NV Senate race


On Principles & Values: Election denier on slate of false pro-Trump electors

Republican Jim Marchant, a vocal election denier who lost his race to be Nevada's top election official in 2022, 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, from Silicon Valley, from big media, from labor unions, from radical gender exchange advocates, where Jacky Rosen has failed you," Marchant said. He claimed American liberties are under siege because of illegal immigrants and leftist policies. And he said freedom of speech and the right to bear arms are being taken away by the government and powerful corporations.

On Energy & Oil: Oil, natural gas, and coal provide America with security

The truth is that oil, natural gas, and coal provide America with security and a healthy economy. Without having control over these necessities, we are at the mercy of foreign governments such as Saudi Arabia, Venezuela, Oman, and more. Jim Marchant will fight for energy independence at every level. He will not be swayed by Green Energy activists who cheer when industry is crippled and our economy is bludgeoned.

On Immigration: The border, both North and South, needs to be shut down

America welcomes immigrants. However, it must be done legally, and the numbers need to be controlled. Currently, the border, both North and South, needs to be shut down, illegal aliens need to be deported, and we need to permanently secure this nation. WE DO NOT NEED ANYMORE BORDER POLICIES. We only need to enforce the laws we have had on the books for decades, which worked adequately until Joe Biden became president.
