Brown, who was trailing in the polls at the time of the debate with Jacky Rosen, a Democrat senator, remained combative for the entire hour-long discussion.

Sam Brown, the GOP candidate for Nevada Senate, spent Thursday’s debate taking potshots at Democratic Senator Jacky Rosen. He still faces a deficit in polling as Election Day approaches.

Brown called Rosen “elitist” on three occasions and “insider” once, as he sought to portray himself as an outsider who would represent the voice of the people in Washington, D.C. Rosen, on the other hand, spent most of the evening focusing on her record and her roots in Nevada. She hoped to remain above the fray, and ride the polling lead.

Brown was so eagerly to attack Rosen, he used a question on the possibility of alien life as a way to poke fun at a theme which persisted through out the debate.

Early in the debate, tensions dissolved when the candidates discussed the housing issue. Rising prices make homeownership more difficult for Nevadans. Rosen suggested holding corporate investors responsible for purchasing real estate that prices people out.

Rosen praised her proposed legislation, The Home Act. “We’re fineing them.”

Brown said: It’s interesting Senator Rosen mentions a desire to fine greedy companies. What if greedy politicians made things harder to afford for us?

Immigration was also a major topic of discussion. Candidates were asked to comment on former President Donald Trump’s proposal for mass deportations, border security, and immigration reform. According to the 2020 census, almost 29% of Nevada’s population is Hispanic.

Rosen asked, “Mass deportations – who would be caught up in this?” How many innocents would be rounded up?”

She continued, “We must be careful about what we are doing and not use it to play politics.”

Brown responded, “This again is what you’d expect from an elitist in D.C., whose neighborhood has more security, including gate and security officers, than our border.

“Our border also deserves it.” He said, “Our communities deserve it.”

Rosen responded to the moderators’ question about whether Congress should conduct a separate investigation into UFOs.

Rosen, who represents the area that contains Area 51 in his state, said: “I think it is important that we conduct our own independent investigation.”

Brown said, “I am just as curious about everything as anyone else.” He said: “I’d like to know what is going on.”

Brown charged that Rosen had violated the STOCK Act several times.

Rosen spent most of the evening praising her credentials as a Senator and reminded the audience that she was a Nevadan her entire life. However, when reproductive rights were brought up, she took a shot at Brown.

Nevada already allows abortions up to the 24th week. In fear that these rights would be taken away in the future by the government, reproductive rights activists gathered enough signatures to place a ballot measure to enshrine the right to abortion in the state constitution. This has made reproductive issues a central part of Nevada’s political landscape.

When asked for his opinion, Brown replied, “I am informed by the experience of my wife.” Amy Brown shared her story about abortion with NBC News back in February.

He said, “I stand by Nevada law which allows abortions up to 24 week.” “Nevadans established our law 34 years ago. I support that law and would not vote to ban abortions nationwide.

Rosen brought up Brown’s past positions regarding abortion. Brown, who lost his 2014 race for the Texas Legislature, had supported a ban on abortions after 20 weeks when he ran in that race. Rosen, who spoke about Brown’s new stance, said that Brown has been against abortion exceptions for a decade.

She joked, “If you do not believe that he will support a national abortion ban, I have some oceanfront properties to sell you in Las Vegas Strip.”
