Nevada Senate GOP candidate Sam Brown said last month that he was “not for changing our existing law” when asked about his position on an upcoming abortion ballot measure, according to new audio published by The Nevada Independent.
The Nevada Independent published audio of Brown, who was asked during an Aug. 28 Las Vegas campaign event about his thoughts on a measure that will go before voters this fall, which would enshrine abortion protections in the state constitution.
“I’m not for changing our existing law. Our existing law has been in place for over 34 years. The ballot measure would change the law and essentially [create] no limit on access to abortion,” the retired Army captain said, according to the news outlet.
Brown’s campaign declined to comment to The Hill on Brown’s remarks.
Brown’s remarks are notable given he has largely evaded saying how he would vote on the abortion ballot measure. Like other Senate Republican candidates, Brown has been forced to navigate tricky terrain over the issue of abortion and his previous stances on it.
