Sam Brown

Republican Sam Brown has announced that he will not run for Rep. Mark Amodei's Congressional seat. 

Brown posted his decision on X Tuesday morning. 

Brown, a retired U.S. Army captain injured in the line of duty, lost his 2024 bid for U.S. Senate against incumbent Senator Jacky Rosen.

Brown in 2008 was wounded by an improvised explosive device during a Taliban ambush of his unit in southern Afghanistan. He left the Army in 2011 after 30 surgeries and years of recovery, founding a business to help veterans get medical care.
