ABOUT THIS EPISODE
This week on One Minute Recess, we begin by remembering our friend Steve Horner—a tireless advocate, educator, organizer, and one of the earliest supporters of this podcast.
Then we dive into Nevada's latest political developments.
David Flippo's upset victory over longtime Nevada Republican James Settlemeyer has sparked a debate about the future of the GOP in Nevada. Is this the end of "old Nevada" politics? What does it mean for Teresa Benitez-Thompson's chances in Congressional District 2? And will Governor Joe Lombardo embrace Flippo's brand of politics or keep his distance?
We also discuss:
• Final primary election results
• The razor-thin Howard Watts race
• Nevada's ballot counting process
• Lombardo's proposed affordability special session
• Attack ads targeting Attorney General Aaron Ford
• The mystery behind Lombardo's claim that he eliminated 900 regulations
• Viewer comments, trolls, and keyboard warriors
