EXCLUSIVE — Retired Army Capt. Sam Brown is running to take on Sen. Jacky Rosen (D-NV) in the Nevada Senate race. Here is where he stands on economic issues.
Brown, 40, isn’t a newcomer to politics. He unsuccessfully ran for a House seat in Texas in 2014 but gained nationwide attention when he launched a Republican primary campaign in Nevada to win a seat in the Senate in 2022. Brown was beat out by a Trump-backed candidate who lost in the general election.
Brown warned that tariffs can become a tax on consumers. That echoes the views of supply-side economists, who argue that higher tariffs squeeze consumers because companies end up passing on the increased costs to them. “I subscribe to the sort of tax and economics philosophy that raising taxes, while it does in theory and in practice sometimes produce more revenue, the best way to increase revenue for the government is actually by lowering taxes, lowering regulations, allowing the economy to boom,” Brown said.
“Not just amongst the Senate and House, obviously, but there needs to be a national conversation about how we address this,” Brown said. “I think most people realize that it’s at a crisis; we have about a 10-year runway here before we’re sort of at the end of the runway. We’re at the end of the road there.”
