California State Elected Official Runs for U.S. Senate in Nevada Democratic Primary

Posted on by June 21, 2024

Nevada held primaries for congress and state office on June 14, 2024.  Three candidates appeared on the Democratic primary ballot for U.S. Senate.  The incumbent, Jacky Rosen, was easily re-nominated.  One of the three candidates was Mike Schaefer, who is an elected official in California.  He is a member of the Board of Equalization, a partisan office in California.

Schaefer was elected to the California Board of Equalization in 2018 as a Democrat, and re-elected in 2022.  He is term-limited so he can’t run for re-election in 2026.  As to why he ran for U.S. Senate in Nevada this month, he enjoys running for office.  He is 86 years old.  No media in California seems to have reported on his Nevada run, but here is a news story from last month from Nevada which did note that he lives in California.  Schaefer got 2.2% of the vote in the Nevada primary.

  4. So a person not registered to vote in Nevada can run for Congress in a Democratic Party primary. Therefore the Democratic Party of Nevads allow an out of state registration to enter it primary if from the Party affiliated with national Party in an other state.

    If this be they’case why is Rockenfeller and Morales suing Kennedy
    In Carson City?

  6. I know people often run for US Senate in states where they don’t live on the theory they could move their domicile if elected. Is that also true for US House? Depends on the state?

  7. The US Constitution only requires that someone be a resident of state on the day of the election for US Senator.

    I remember that Rocky de la Fuente actually ran for the US Senate in several states simultaneously.

  9. Q
    USA CONST 1-2-2

    No Person shall be a Representative who shall not have attained to the Age of twenty five Years, and been seven Years a Citizen of the United States, and who shall not, when elected, be an Inhabitant of that State in which he shall be chosen.

  12. Of of Course out of state residents can run for both Senate or House of Representives. That is not the issue.

    The issue is running in a Democratic Primary in Nevada with out being a being elector of that state Democratic
    Party. In California you just have a party preference. Is that the same in Nevada?

  13. I know what the Constitution says, and I know they can, my question was more like: how often does it happen, when it comes to the HOUSE? I know it happens fairly often, as to Senate. Sorry if q was unclear.

  14. For anyone more savvy about France: why did macaron feel compelled to call an election? His allies did poorly in the European Parliament election. Is that the best time to go double or nothing and potentially lose his own majority in French Parliament to LePen et al, or would that be precisely the wrong move from the pov of his wretched interests?

  15. The idea that Macron is centrist and LePen is far right is Merde. LePen is centrist and Macron is leftist from the viewpoint of average French voters, as the European parliament election shows.

  16. Champagne is a region of France, not California, despite the plentiful supply of sparkling wine often misidentified (but not legally mislabeled) as Champagne.

  17. In recent congressional elections, there are typically about 4 or 5 candidates running for US House in states in which they do not live. Also we have started seeing candidates run for US House in more than a single state in that particular election year.

  20. HOW MANY EGO FREAKS RUNNING FOR OUT-OF-STATE OFFICES ???

    WHICH STATE STOPS EGO FREAKS THE BEST ???

  22. Nothing in this respect has changed since this morning:

    Champagne is still a region of France, not California, despite the plentiful supply of sparkling wine often misidentified (but not legally mislabeled) as Champagne.

  23. @Q
    It’s like investors selling off stocks as they are losing value.
    Macron and his party are diving popularity. But with the wheels already set in motion regarding sending more troops, arms and money to nazi “Ukraine”, and accepting and housing more military age male “refugees” at the French tax payers’ expense, he is going to become even more hated without any hope of redemption. Therefore he is “selling off his stocks”, i.e. calling a snap election, while things are merely ‘terrible’ for him and his party, before they get much, much worse.

    @Porcus Agricola
    Le Pen is also a leftist. Her economic policies are even more socialist than those of Les Républicains. The only French party that isn’t left-wing is Eric Zemmour’s Reconquête; and Le Pen’s niece, Marion Maréchal, just ensured that her aunt and Eric Ciotti’s joint-list alliance will take-away all their votes by stabbing Zemmour in the back.

  24. Nuna – that’s why I said from the perspective of average French voters.

    I agree with your reply to q(question), but I wonder if he’s miscalculated. To be clear, I hope he has. Perhaps, his stock is falling faster than he realizes, and his gambit will cost his governing majority, as opposed to shoring up the freefall. I hope and pray that is indeed the case. Bon chance, avec l’aide de Dieu! Sorry if the French is butchered – English phrase, Good luck, with God’s help.

  25. FRENCH ROT NOW AS IN 1933-1940– OLDE 4TH REPUBLIC 1871-1940.

    DEGAULLE COPIED HITLER REGIME IN 1958 — 5TH REPUBLIC- MONARCH *PRESIDENT*.

    NOW IT HAS ROTTED TO DEATH.

  26. Yes! And I think Macron has indeed miscalculated. I think he did not expect Chiotti to successfully lead Les Républicains (LR) to ally with Le Pen’s Rassemblement National (RN).

    And how could he have anticipated it, when even just one week ago LR were trying to oust Chiotti from party leadership (to the point that he allegedly physically barricaded himself in their party offices to try and prevent a vote of no confidence being held against him). And it looked like they would be successful in removing him and killing cooperation with RN, until a Paris judge came to the rescue just a few days ago by ruling that Chiotti’s ouster wasn’t legal.

    In the last few days LR has completely imploded. Many of its voters had been pushing for a joint candidate list with RN (if only to prevent the party from dying off), but besides Chiotti hardly anyone in the LR leadership was willing to court Le Pen.
    Thanks to Maréchal’s treachery, Reconquête (R!) has now also completely collapsed. And so all right-wing votes are going to go towards RN (in spite of how leftist it actually is).

    Both LR and R! had no real choice but to try and ally with Rassemblement National (the former socially from the left but fiscally from the right, the latter completely from the right). However Le Pen has already said R! is far too “extreme” for her to even consider working with them; and I doubt her niece’s betrayal is likely to make Zemmour feel any more inclined towards trying to change her mind about cooperating. So, unfortunately, it looks like R! is out of the running and LR-RN will proceed hand-in-hand.

    Meanwhile all the far-left parties have also formed a single joint candidate list, called Nouveau Front Populaire (NFP). And support for Macron’s Renaissance party (which is politically somewhere left of LR and right of NFP) is almost as low as support for R! since Maréchal’s treachery and even lower than support for LR prior to Chiotti securing an alliance with RN.

    But will anything get better for France post-Macron? The country is now completely polarized (far more so than the US) and everyone will either be voting for the NFP (far-left) or the LR-RN alliance (left), especially during the second round of the election (which is a head-to-head run-off between the two lists that did best in the first round, and will undoubtedly be LR-RN and NFP).

  27. DUE TO TOTAL GERRYMANDER IN FRANCE –

  30. France is still not in California. New Zealand and Canada are also not in California.

  32. Comrade geographer:

    That’s only true on planet Earth.

    Are you assuming Comrade Z is from our planet? That, like, so bigoted and presumptuous, LOL!

  34. Comrade bot at 12:19, you are a bot. Reprogram yourself, please, if you can.

    If you can’t, please convey my message to your programmer.

    If your programmer is a dickhead troll, he/she/it/they will ignore my message and fail to reprogram you.

    If you weren’t a bot, or a total moron, and if your executed program output was correct, you would follow your own advise, leading by example, instead of spamming it a thousand times and counting (not actually counting – nonbots will understand) endlessly, LOL

    KTHX
