Churchill County general election results

Nevada’s two largest populated counties turned back Republican challenger Sam Brown from upsetting incumbent Jacky Rosen in last week’s general election.

Clark County tilted the scales 505,412 votes for Rosen to 432,232 for Brown, who ran for the U.S. Senate in 2022. Washoe County narrowly cast the majority of votes to Rosen, 120,131 to Brown’s 108,781.

The Brown campaign implemented final week visits for the candidate to encourage people to vote for him. Brown also made a stop in Fallon accompanied by Wyoming U.S. Sen. John Barrasso.

Churchill County was one of 15 counties that voted for Brown.

Congressman Mark Amodei, who was seeking re-election to District 2, defeated Greg Kidd, 210,1448 to 135,944. Amodei also won in Churchill County, 8,751 to 3,145.

The two seats on the Mosquito, Vector and Noxious Weed Abatement Board will be represented by David Brown and Marion Jonte. Cynthia McGarrah finished third.
