Republican establishment bets on Fellows

Nevada Republicans have lined up behind Sean Fellows as a star of their effort to retake majority control of the Nevada Assembly. He'll face Democrat Susan Gerhardt in the 29th district.

Fellows, a 27-year-old Air Force Reserve Captain, was the guest of honor recently at a
Las Vegas Country Club fundraiser that was hosted by no less than thirteen of Nevada’s twenty-four Republican legislators as well as Gov. Jim Gibbons, Lt. Gov. Brian Krolicki and state GOP Chairwoman Sue Lowden.

“I’m really flattered by and encouraged by the support of the establishment,” said Fellows Monday. “We did really well on the fundraising side and I was personally pleased by the turnout.”

Besides fundraising, Fellows has also received considerable support in the area of campaign expertise from Ryan Erwin, a long-time Nevada political consultant. Before signing on to Fellows’ bid, Erwin had worked as Executive Director of the Nevada Republican Party and Chief Operating Officer of the California Republican Party, as well as directing races for Nevada Assemblyman Bob Seale and Clark County Commissioner Lynette Boggs-McDonald.
