“The country is moving closer to the danger zone” says Issue One Action CEO Nick Penniman in wake of Jim Marchant securing GOP nomination in Nevada secretary of state race

Washington, DC – June 15, 2022 – In the wake of election denier Jim Marchant’s primary election win to be the Republican Party’s secretary of state nominee in Nevada, Issue One Action issued the following statement.

“Alarm bells should be ringing for anyone who cares about democracy in the wake of the GOP primary in Nevada yesterday. Jim Marchant has shown himself to be a dangerous extremist who would work to undermine free and fair elections in our country. Democrats, Republicans, and independents alike should be concerned by the nomination of someone who has expressed such a willingness to disregard the will of voters,” said Issue One Action CEO Nick Penniman.

Penniman continued: “If the Pennsylvania Republican Party’s nomination last month of Doug Mastriano — who was present during the January 6th attack on the Capitol — to be their gubernatorial nominee wasn’t a clear enough signal, the country is moving closer to the danger zone. If rogue partisan activists who want to hijack the administration of elections in our country win positions of power, we all lose.”
