Another interesting tidbit from the latest round of campaign finance reports — Invest in Tomorrow Coalition PAC, the clean energy group behind the $2M anti-Flippo investment in #NV02, got a $1M donation early this month from Michael Bloomberg.
New — @DavidFlippoNV's campaign tells me it's putting five figures behind this digital ad with Texas Rep. @realBrandonGill.
It features the House Freedom Caucus member calling TBT "one of the most radical Democratic candidates in the country right now."
3. @StevenHorsford spent a lot of money, even as most forecasters think his re-election will not be close.
His biggest expenditures were a 75k donation to the state Dems and a six-figure investment in online ads. More on his digital message:

2. @MartyTheElder invested $250k early this month and another $250k last week, bringing his additional October investment to $500k.
Comes as @Oona_Milliken reported Speaker Johnson told him there's more money coming.

A few things stand out to me from these reports.
1. @Teresa4Nevada got a big influx of money after she was added to the @DCCC's Red to Blue program. $264k is a large sum for a non-incumbent in two weeks, especially in a district that has rarely been considered competitive.
New — Nevada's congressional candidates yesterday filed fundraising reports covering the first half of October. Here's what they reported:

NEW: Marty O'Donnell, candidate for #NV03, says he was told by Speaker Mike Johnson that there was "more money" coming after a PAC linked to Trump pulled $2 million in reserved ad spending from his race thenevadaindependent.com/art…
New this morning — The Cook Political Report moves #NV02 towards Democrats again, from Likely Republican to Lean Republican.
It's CPR's second shift of that race in less than a month.
From @ercovey:
cookpolitical.com/analysis/h…
New & exclusive: Invest in Tomorrow Coalition PAC, the group that already put $1.5M into defeating Flippo in #NV02 is upping its spend to $2M.
The clean energy super PAC is also running a new ad attacking the Republican.

Former Gov. Jim Gibbons (R) makes a rare political statement today to support @DavidFlippoNV, blaming Amodei for "handing a Democrat her best chance in the history of this seat because he did not get his way."
rgj.com/story/opinion/2026/1…
"I ain't looking in that mirror having voted for the Republican," @AmodeiForNevada said on CNN this evening about his #NV02 vote.
At #IndyFest today, @RahmEmanuel told me it was Amodei's criticisms of Flippo that first drew his attention to #NV02 as a pick-up opportunity.
Could see Khanna getting almost emotional as he talked about the lack of substantive policy discussion around 2028:
Khanna tells @MiniRacker that IF he runs for president, "I'm not going to be the most charismatic guy. I'm not going to be the person doing the most fun TikToks."
But, he says, "I actually really have an economic vision for what this country needs to do."
New—on the DGA’s investment decision in Texas:
Beshear defends how @DemGovs (which he chairs) is spending money after @MiniRacker asks about $$$ for Gina Hinojosa's bid for TX Gov.
"We have the best looking map that we have had in our recent history, and what it means is we have a size 10 budget and a size 16 map," he says.
New: @DavidFlippoNV's campaign finance report for the first two week's of October, filed a few minutes ago, shows him raising $72k in that period.
His donors include Jonathan Kraft, president of the New England Patriots.
NEW: No Going Back PAC, which is funded by President Trump's MAGA Inc., is jumping into #NV02.
$550k reserved on broadcast in Reno so far, per AdImpact.
👀 National Democrats have put out red-boxed instructions suggesting that ads targeting GOP women in #NV02 should highlight the third-party candidate’s “conservative values.”

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.
.@Teresa4Nevada has a new ad today that highlights her background serving Northern Nevada, including as a waitress in college. She also slams Flippo over recent controversies:
