Dr. Christopher Brandlin has announced he’s running for the Nevada Assembly in District 42, launching a campaign built around public health, health freedom, and family outcomes. He’ll be challenging the current Democratic hold on the seat in a district that has seen competitive races in recent cycles. Assembly District 42 is currently represented by Democrat Tracy Brown-May, who was first appointed to the seat in 2021 and later elected in her own right. “Public health should empower families, not restrict them,” Brandlin said in his campaign announcement.
