Sean SpicerHOST
Nevada's second district.
Sean SpicerHOST
This is an incumbent, uh, Mark Amodei retiring, putting Theresa Benitez-Thompson, the Democrat, against David Flippo.
Sean SpicerHOST
Uh, it's still considered likely R.
Sean SpicerHOST
Any concerns with that?
Leigh Ann CaldwellGUEST
You actually, you grew up there in Virginia, and the one I'm obsessed with is Nevada too, which I'm from Nevada.

Um, this is the district that Mark Amodei, a Republican, is retiring from.

It's northern Nevada.
Leigh Ann CaldwellGUEST
It's a little bit of Carson City and Reno, but mostly rural.
Fred LokkenGUEST
Well, uh, the Republicans, in my view, shot themselves in the foot.
Fred LokkenGUEST
They had the guy that, to replace Amodei that was gonna win the el- the, uh, primary and the election, and then someone who's never lived in Northern Nevada suddenly becomes a resident of Northern Nevada and the, and, and is able to enter- ... primary where it's distorted turnout and that money can make a difference, gets the nomination.
Fred LokkenGUEST
But now can you win that in the fall? And I think there's an incredible vulnerability, uh, that has opened the door for the Democrats.
Fred LokkenGUEST
The Democrats on their side have never looked at that, that, uh, race.

Allison GillHOST
I'm writing to highlight Teresa Benitez Thompson, who's running for Nevada Congressional District 2 against David Flippo for the seat left open by Mark Amodei's departure.
Allison GillHOST
This is a huge opportunity to pick up a seat that has never been held by a Democrat.
Allison GillHOST
In 2003, Teresa was Miss Nevada, and during the talent portion of the Miss America contest, she recited the words of Dennis Shepard, who spoke out in court about his son Matthew.
