Speech at the Las Vegas Young Republican Club

Remarks to the Las Vegas Young Republican Club

Chris Brandlin's speech to the Las Vegas Young Republican Club covers the three themes this AD-42 campaign keeps returning to: health, affordability, and why Nevada Assembly District 42 is winnable in November 2026.

The last point draws the most pushback. AD-42 has leaned Democratic since 1996, and the assumption that it is unwinnable has quietly shaped how much attention, money, and volunteer time the district receives. His argument is that the assumption is the obstacle — not the arithmetic.

Speaking to a room of young Republicans also changes the ask. This audience is not really being asked to vote; it is being asked to work. Knock doors, bring people, and treat a district written off years ago as worth contesting. That case is easier to make with a record in hand, which is what the incumbent voting record and the donor transparency report are for.

What comes next

Sample ballots, district maps, and deadlines for the 2026 Nevada Assembly election are published by the Nevada Secretary of State. If the speech lands, the next step is volunteering or joining the campaign.
