War veteran Sam Brown, who is running for U.S. Senate in Nevada, has faced accusations of running a “grift” from the Democratic campaign of his opponent, Jacky Rosen. These accusations stemmed from Brown promoting a book about his journey to recovery from a near-fatal war injury sustained in Iraq. Despite the accusations, Brown, a retired Army captain and Purple Heart recipient, has stood by his decision to share his story and mission of giving hope and changing the world. The Nevada Democratic Party also joined in on the criticism against Brown, accusing him of using his campaign to sell a book and line his own pockets.
Brown’s campaign pushed back against the accusations, with communications director Kristy Wilkinson stating that Rosen’s statements showed contempt for U.S. Military Veterans and wounded warriors. The campaign called the behavior “disgusting” and noted that it was an insult to all Nevada veterans for their sacrifice and service to the country. Brown’s team emphasized that he would never insult veterans or let partisan politics influence how he treats others. Despite reaching out to the Rosen campaign for comment, Fox News Digital did not receive a response.
The Nevada Democratic Party defended their characterization of Brown’s book as a “grift,” pointing to his previous run for office where he allegedly used a shady PAC to swindle grassroots donors. According to the party’s spokesperson, Brown is now using his Senate campaign to sell a book and benefit financially. They criticized Brown for focusing on self-promotion rather than engaging with Nevada voters on important issues. The Nevada Senate race is considered a toss-up by the Cook Political Report, along with races in Michigan, Montana, and Ohio, making it a critical election for both parties in the battle for control of the Senate.
