Cop Attacker Released Back into the Wild

Brown Closing in on Laxalt: Do You Believe in Miracles?
(Chuck Muth) – By all accounts and conventional wisdom, Republican U.S. Senate candidate Adam Laxalt should be running away with the primary and should have put fellow GOP challenger Sam Brown away months ago.

So You Want to Know Where the Route 91 Harvest Festival Money Is?
(Chuck Muth) – I take a back seat to no one in my desire to boot Gov. Steve Sisolak out of office. His administration has been an unmitigated DISASTER for Nevadans over the last three years.

More on the Nevada GOP’s Fouled-Up Pre-Primary Endorsement Process
(Chuck Muth) – As I wrote in the last Muth’s Truths, if the rumors I heard about Republican gubernatorial candidate Joe Lombardo’s participation in the Nevada Republican Party’s pre-primary endorsement process were inaccurate, I’d correct the record.

Campaign ’22: The GOP Primary Money Chase for U.S. Senate
(Chuck Muth) – While I’d argue it’s not THE most important race on the ballot in Nevada this election cycle – in my opinion, it’s the governor’s race – the GOP primary for U.S. Senate is easily the most interesting.
