On Thursday night, the conservative political group "RedMove Nevada" held a debate for Republican candidates running for the U.S. Senate.

Many candidates criticized the front runners, Sam Brown and Jeff Gunter, for avoiding all the debates. (Sam Brown and Jeff Gunter skip debates and trade barbs in attack ads) 

Due to time constraints, we interviewed only four of the six candidates on the debate stage. 

We asked them about their central platform:

Stephanie Phillips, a 31-year resident of Las Vegas, is a veteran and military mom. She runs a non-profit to help homeless Veterans. Notably, Phillips received endorsements from conservative rock musician Ted Nugent and Texas Agriculture Commissioner Sid Miller. 

"Children, veterans, accountability in Washington, and national security because they're coming after our children with this culture ideology," said Stephanie Phillips. 

Tony Grady is a retired Lieutenant Colonel in the U.S. Air Force, a retired FedEx pilot, a husband, and a father of four. Grady served as the Deputy Air Boss at the Reno Air Races and is prolific on the national conservative news circuit, appearing regularly on Fox News and Newsmax. 

"Securing our border—without a border, we don't have a country, so we have to be able to secure that. Then, we need to be energy-independent. And then we need to get the U.S. back to its proper place on the world stage," said Tony Grady. 

Barry Lindemann grew up on a cattle ranch in Big Horn, Wyoming. He has run construction companies and finance and now runs a real estate portfolio full of hospitals, apartment buildings, and construction companies. Lindemann's niche is water rights issues.

His goal as a U.S. Senator would be to effect change in the department interior.

"I'm running to take on the problems of the Colorado River because if the Hoover Dam stops producing electricity, 25 percent of the electrical load across the state goes down," said Barry Lindemann. 

Attorney Rhonda Kennedy is a legal champion for conservative issues and a mother of six. Kennedy won a lawsuit reopening gun stores during the lockdowns of the Covid-19 pandemic. 

"When the gun stores were closed during COVID, I filed the Federal lawsuit that forced them open. I successfully defended businesses when they went after them for staying open during COVID," said Ronda Kennedy. 

After Sam Brown's comments surfaced last week, we asked each candidate their views on the controversial Yucca Mountain nuclear waste repository.

"I represent Nevadans, and it's ultimately up to us people. I would do my research, get all of my questions answered, get all of the facts, and bring them to the people, and I want to hear from the people," said Phillips. 

"I will not support Yucca Mountain; my concern is to protect the people of Nevada. Nevadans have expressed they do not want Yucca Mountain," said Grady.

"Maybe, just maybe, we can make it a power generating station, but not a storage facility with a half-life of half a million years. I think you're just asking for disaster," said Lindemann. 

"Nevada is not the country's dumping grounds; no, they should not be stored there. I have eleven-year-old triplets that have to grow up, and I don't want them growing up with nuclear waste stored in the state, no," said Kennedy. 

The two candidates we did not get to speak to were retired Afghanistan combat veteran and green beret Bill Conrad and former Las Vegas assemblyman and businessman Jim Marchant.

June 11th is the date of the statewide primary to determine the republican nominee for U.S. Senate
