The newly anointed Republican nominee for the Nevada Senate race, Sam Brown, has a curious history with political campaigns: He has run for office in two states.

In 2014, Brown ran for a seat in the Texas House of Representatives, but he lost in the primary and faded into obscurity. But eight years later, he reemerged to run for U.S. Senate in Nevada, only to lose the primary again in 2022. He quickly launched a second Senate campaign, and on Tuesday, he finally secured the GOP nomination to take on Sen. Jacky Rosen (D-NV) in November in a race that is expected to be highly competitive.
