Repubs have a large ballot lead in CD2 right now and it keeps increasing because of rural NV. TBT still an underdog to Flippo, and as @ErikJimenezNV points out, even if she wins indies by a substantial margin, she needs A LOT more Amodei-type voters to become Chapman-lovers.

Statement from @repdinatitus-
Says her provision restoring the 100% tax deduction on gambling losses passed out of committee. She is now urging House leadership to expeditiously bring her fix to the floor.
"This would stop the reduction to 90% from taking effect."
