(Chuck Muth)<\/em>\u00a0\u2013 Just an FYI, I\u2019m in the middle of a big writing project and am pretty much sequestered for another couple weeks trying to get it done by the end of this month.
\u00a0
Kinda bad timing since a\u00a0LOT<\/u>\u00a0of \u201cstuff\u201d is going on right now. But I did want to take a little time this morning to weigh in on developments in the GOP\u2019s effort to protect Gov.\u00a0Joe Lombardo\u2019s<\/strong>\u00a0veto in the State Senate.
\u00a0
As a quick refresher, Republicans are on the short end of the stick in the legislative upper house, 13-8.\u00a0 And if they lose just one net seat, they\u2019ll be in a super-minority – meaning Democrats will have the 2\/3 votes they need to override gubernatorial vetoes.
\u00a0
Why is this so important?\u00a0 Because the left-wing of the Dem party is so intent on turning Nevada into East California that Gov. Lombardo was forced to issue a record-high 75 vetoes in the last session.
\u00a0
And about half of those vetoes will come up for an override vote at the start of the 2025 legislative session.\u00a0 Bad bills you thought were dead could be resurrected and enacted over the governor\u2019s objections.
\u00a0
Politically-speaking, Republicans are in bad shape with this.\u00a0 While the GOP should hold the seat currently held by Sen.\u00a0Scott Hammond<\/strong>, two other seats are in serious danger of flipping: Sen.\u00a0Heidi Gansert\u2019s<\/strong>\u00a0seat in Washoe County and Sen.\u00a0Carrie Buck\u2019s<\/strong>\u00a0seat in Clark County.
\u00a0
If Republicans lose both seats, they\u2019ll have to flip the only two Democrat seats where they at least have a remote chance.\u00a0 That would be the Senate seats currently held by Majority Leader\u00a0Nicole Cannibizzaro<\/strong>\u00a0and cop-hating Sen.\u00a0Dallas Harris<\/strong>\u00a0in Clark County.
\u00a0
Republicans will actually be in good shape in the Harris race after\u00a0Lori Rogich<\/strong>\u00a0dispatches a senseless challenger in the GOP primary. And a couple days ago, Battle Born Republican Women\u2019s Club president\u00a0Jill Douglass<\/strong>\u00a0threw her hat in the ring against Cannibizzaro.
\u00a0
I\u2019m meeting with her tomorrow to go over her campaign before conducting a recruitment\/training workshop for Assembly District 8 candidate\u00a0Kelly Chapman\u2019s<\/strong>\u00a0volunteers.
\u00a0
To summarize: If Senate Republicans lose two seats in November, they\u00a0MUST<\/u>\u00a0pick up two seats, including Jill\u2019s, to protect the governor\u2019s vetoes.\u00a0 It\u2019s \u2026what do you call it again? … oh, yeah, basic math.
\u00a0
Anyway, on Tuesday Jill made her announcement that she was throwing her hat in the ring to a group of friends and allies in an email\u2026
\u00a0
\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0\u201cThis is perhaps the hardest race in Nevada as the incumbent, Nicole Cannizzaro, is the Senate Majority Leader and has the full financial support of the Woke Democratic machine.\u00a0 However, based on her voting record and extreme positions, I believe she is vulnerable. \u2026 With your help, we will prevail and help protect Lombardo\u2019s veto power.\u201d\u00a0<\/em>
\u00a0
I was a recipient of the announcement \u2013 and the responses to Jill were almost universally in favor of her candidacy.\u00a0
\u00a0
Except one.
\u00a0
A guy supposedly named\u00a0Richard Frederick<\/strong>\u00a0was also on the email chain and responded with this\u2026
\u00a0
\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0\u201cWhat does that race have to do with the veto power?\u201d<\/em>
\u00a0
Duh.
\u00a0
Now, if you don\u2019t know who Richard Frederick is, he\u2019s another California transplant with no record of activism in Nevada GOP politics but thinks he can come here and buy a seat in the Legislature and *save* us hicks from ourselves.
\u00a0
Which seat?
\u00a0
Sen. Carrie Buck\u2019s seat.
\u00a0
That\u2019s right.\u00a0 He\u2019s inexplicably challenging a very vulnerable sitting incumbent Republican in the GOP primary \u2013 a critical Republican seat that must be held.
\u00a0
And there\u2019s something just not quite right about this guy, actually bordering on sleazy.
\u00a0
I\u2019m hearing his real name is\u00a0Richard Auchmoody II<\/strong>, and he also\u00a0posts<\/a>\u00a0GQ-like photos on social media under the fake name\u00a0Rich Fayden<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

It also appears Cali Dick didn\u2019t move to Nevada until March 2022 and didn\u2019t even bother to vote here in the last election \u2013 though considering how many different names he uses, I guess it\u2019s possible.
\u00a0
In fact, I\u2019m hearing that while he\u2019s running under the name \u201cRichard Frederick,\u201d he\u2019s actually registered under the name \u201cRichard Auchmoody II.\u201d
\u00a0
Yeah, totally on the up-and-up.\u00a0 Nothing to see here.
\u00a0
In January, Cali Dick reported *raising* $202,424.07 for the race.\u00a0 However, only $100 of it was actually donated by\u2026you know, a donor.\u00a0 He *lent* his campaign the remaining $202,324.07.
\u00a0
Like I said, he\u2019s just trying to buy the seat.\u00a0 He has virtually no financial support among Nevada Republicans who understand how important it is to hold this seat and protect the governor\u2019s vetoes.
\u00a0
Anyway, in response to his attempt to pooh-pooh Jill\u2019s effort to take out Cannibizzaro, I replied to him and\u00a0the group yesterday\u2026
\u00a0
\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0\u201cHow can you be running for the State Senate and NOT know what this race has to do with the protecting the governor\u2019s veto power?\u201d<\/em>
\u00a0
Well, that tuned up Cali Dick and got under the snowflake\u2019s thin skin.\u00a0 He (foolishly) responded with\u2026
\u00a0
\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0\u201cI don’t see that seat as having anything to do with the veto power.\u00a0 I have yet to hear anything about that from anyone until this email.\u00a0 At no point has anyone spoke about that seat being instrumental to the veto power.<\/em>
\u00a0
\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0\u201cNice to meet you as well, you can lose the attitude, it won’t serve you well moving forward, at least not with me.\u00a0<\/em>
\u00a0
\u201cMaybe we should meet up face to face and you can better explain to me, SOMEONE who is clearly clueless in your eyes, how this seat controls the veto power.\u00a0 725-500-6912, anytime Chucky!\u201d<\/em>
\u00a0
Oh, Dicky, Dicky, Dicky.
\u00a0
You\u2019ve obviously confused me with somebody who cares about ingratiating himself to a Cali transplant who not only doesn\u2019t understand the political landscape in Nevada but can\u2019t even do simple math.
\u00a0
But I\u2019ll tell ya what, sport\u2026\u00a0
\u00a0
Just sit by your phone and hold your breath waiting for me to call.\u00a0 I\u2019m sure I\u2019ll get around to it really, really soon.\u00a0 Can\u2019t wait to hear what other pearls of political wisdom you can share with us Nevada rubes.
\u00a0
And the beat goes on\u2026
