NV-02: The Candidates Debate
Andrew Roth
A Nevada TV station recently hosted a debate between the candidates running for the GOP nominee in Nevada's 2nd district.
Click here to watch a video of it or click here to listen to the audio podcast.
Here are some highlights:
- Sharron Angle, endorsed by the Club for Growth PAC, has clearly established herself as the fiscal conservative in the race. During the debate, she mentions her endorsement by the House Conservative Fund, which is the Republican Study Committee's political arm. The RSC represents the 100+ most conservative lawmakers in the U.S. House.
- One of Sharron's liberal opponents, Dean "Maybe" Heller, said, "I don't...I probably disagree with [Harry Reid] 50%, maybe higher, of the times...he's done some good things for Nevada." In countering the RSC's support of Angle, Heller was intent on making the point that he wants to work with "both sides of the aisle".
- Sharron's other liberal opponent, Dawn Gibbons, said, "Senator Reid actually works very, very hard." She also bragged about Congressman Don Young's endorsement of her. Young, as you may recall, is the notorious pork-barrel spender who helped secure funding for the "Bridge to Nowhere" in Alaska.
The primary for this seat is August 15.

NV-02: Sharron Angle Interview
Andrew Roth
Sharron Angle, the Club PAC-endorsed candidate for Nevada's 2nd district, was briefly interviewed by a local radio station the other day. You can listen to it here (MP3). It's pretty entertaining...she even tells a fun story about one of her contributors who unfortunately lives in Taxachusetts.
This is an important race for fiscal conservatives. Angle is running against two tax-hiking liberal Republicans in the August 15th primary. This is an open seat (Rep. Jim Gibbons, the current occupant, is running for governor). One of Angle's opponents, Dawn Gibbons (Jim's wife), voted for the state's largest tax hike back in 2003. She also voted to give casinos a big taxpayer-funded subsidy to display artwork. Angle's other opponent, Dean Heller, has a laundry list of tax hikes in his background. Higher sales tax, higher property taxes, higher real estate transfer taxes, etc.
To further confirm Angle's fiscally conservative bona fides, you'll be happy to know that the Republican Study Committee's political arm recently endorsed her. The RSC is the most fiscally conservative caucus of Republicans in the U.S. House (The RSC includes fiscal champs like Congressmen Jeff Flake, Mike Pence, and Jeb Hensarling).
