(“Brutal” Brittany Sheehan)<\/em> –\u00a0A Republican Senate candidate from Nevada, Ronda Kennedy is publicly calling for the resignation of Clark County GOP Chair Jesse Law, citing a toxic and fear-driven environment within the party that she believes contradicts the GOP’s core values.<\/p>\n On Monday, Kennedy’s campaign\u00a0issued a press release<\/a>, stating…<\/p>\n “Kennedy accuses Law of creating a ‘toxic and fear-driven environment’ within the party, a situation she believes is antithetical to the GOP’s values of freedom and respect. According to Kennedy, Law’s leadership style has led to a culture where party members are hesitant to voice their opinions, fearing repercussions.”<\/em><\/p>\n When asked what Kennedy is basing the ‘toxic’ and ‘fear-driven’ allegations upon, she says…<\/p>\n “Based on how he reacted to me, how he acted during the convention, and what other members have told me privately. Other party members don’t want to deal with him, they are afraid of him.”<\/em><\/p>\n When pressed about members’ concerns, Kennedy mentioned private discussions where party members expressed fear of Law being “vengeful” and saying that he is known to “hold grudges.”<\/p>\n Clark County is the most strategically important county in the state because the majority of the population lives in Las Vegas and the surrounding areas. In the state GOP committee, Clark boasts an outsized influence over the other, mostly rural counties.\u00a0Law won a hotly contested re-election by 50 votes<\/a>\u00a0in July of last year, springboarding off a late and controversial\u00a0endorsement<\/a>\u00a0given by former President Donald Trump on Truth Social.<\/p>\n Law was endorsed by Trump amid his entanglement in legal battles as a member of the board of directors of Vinco Ventures, a company\u00a0accused in civil suits of defrauding shareholders<\/a>\u00a0and prioritizing the interests of its former CEO, Theodore Farnsworth. Farnsworth is currently being held at a Federal Detention Center in Miami, awaiting trial after the Department of Justice indicted him last year on charges related to securities fraud for his role in the parent company of Movie Pass. He faces a maximum sentence of 80 years. Before their common affiliation with the embattled Vinco Ventures,\u00a0Law was appointed as a manager by then-CEO Farnsworth, at Zash Global Media.<\/a><\/p>\n Law is also one of the six people\u00a0indicted<\/a>\u00a0by the Nevada Attorney General on felony charges for his role as an alternate elector in a Republican slate submitted after the 2020 election.<\/p>\n
