As for this dude Steve Ferrara, I don’t like that bit on his website about “women’s equality”, smells like a lib.
Looks like NV-3 will be a race between Hammond & Seaman.

Rough draft of Mountain state targeted House races starts w post #53
Any opinions on these candidates?
Rest of country to follow
I like what I’ve heard about Lovas, but not my district.
Montenegro is my pick for AZ-08. I like everything that I’ve heard about him, and his record is right there for everyone to see, so we don’t have to speculate about how he would vote. He’s a conservative’s conservative, and in the AZ-08 there is no such thing as someone being too conservative. And a pro-border-security, bilingual Hispanic Congressman from AZ would be a huge asset for the GOP.
AZ-01 is a swing district, and if it’s a two -person race I would go with the more experienced (and apparebtly very conservative) Smith. But wasn’t there a Navajo Republican running (not the ex-Democrat Begay; it was a different Navajo)? I think that his last name is Redd (not a joke). If the GOP nominee can cut into the usual RAT margin among Navajo voters, it should be enough for the win.
The AZ-09 is a Democrat-oeaning district, having voted for Obama over Romney by 4.5% and by Clinton over Trump by a whopping 16.3%. The GOP is at a big dusadvantage there, so while I’m not saying that we should nominate some pro-abortion or open-borders RINO, we definitely shouldn’t reject candidates just because they’re not to the right of Jim DeMint. President Trump is very unpopular in the portion of the Phoenix metro area in AZ-09, so we shouldn’t be looking for the candidate with the most MAGA caps.
AZ-02 is a swing district that swung from Romney towards Hillary in 2016, but McSally was able to win comfortably and Marquez-Peterson would have an excellent chance of winning that increasingly Hispanic district.
I’m not sure about who would be best for NM-02 (should be a GOP hold) or ID-01 (safe R). In the RAt-leaning NV-04, I think that Hardy is the clear choice; hopefully he can catch lightning in a bottle again as he did in 2014.
As for the swing NV-03, I was really impressed with Teijeiro last time—very conservative and with a compelling life story, as I recall—and I would be inclined to support her this year. She’s lagging in fundraising, but then again I’m not sure if she even has filed officially yet.
I live in Nevada’s 4th District, and I’ll vote for Jeff Miller, in the primary. I think he’s the most conservative candidate, in that race. Please read his site, millerforcongress.webs.com.
Since I’ve heard speeches from the majority of the NV-3 candidates, I hope that Eddie Hamilton will win. He’s pro-tax cuts, pro-spending cuts, pro-life, pro-gun rights, and anti-illegal alien.
Yep. Hamilton, Miller .... Two interesting gents
I didn’t talk bout either cuz neither has raised any money.
I’d ask em if they plan to support the nominee if they lose the primary
I’m seeing a LOT of Beto for Senate signs and stickers in the Dallas area. None for Cruz. I’m sure Cruz is in no danger, but if anyone is still holding any grudges, we sure don’t want to wind up with that punk rock clown as our senator.
To be honest, I’m seeing this stuff in the same upper middle class/lower upper class neighborhoods that were also riddled with Hillary signs. Makes me sick. Idiots.
Gold,
thanks for all the insights.
Redd, his website still says 2016 and he hasn’t filed any paperwork with FEC for a 2018 run.
Interesting guy
