NV-GOV: Embroiled in controversies, Michele Fiore announces run for governor

[RandySF]

Las Vegas Councilwoman Michele Fiore said Tuesday she will seek the Republican nomination for governor, casting herself as a champion for conservative values amid a cascade of controversies that figure to be election cycle targets.

“Most of you know me as a fighter,” Fiore said during a brief news conference inside the Italian American Club restaurant. “And when I fight, I fight hard.”

Fiore, whose announcement was largely a surprise, has long leaned into her reputation as an anti-establishment lawmaker with a penchant for drawing national attention.

She was front and center during the Bundy standoff in Oregon. She posed with firearm-toting family members for a Christmas card and distributed it as a gift to constituents. She cursed at a GOP colleague on the Assembly floor. And she gave out calendars featuring her posing with all manner of firearms.

1. Just what the world needs, another RW Annie Oakley wannabe in public office...

2. Annie Oakley toted a gun to first feed her family in the tough times...

and then to show off her marksman skills as entertainment in the late 19th/early 20th Century.

Both Annie Oakley and Michele Fiore can shoot a gun and are/were both women. There's where the similarities end.

4. Annie Oakley learned to shoot for survival....

She had to hunt for food for the family and to sell furs....there is a big difference between these two individuals...

3. I was thinking Bonnie Parker, not Annie Oakley

Annie Oakley at least seems like she was a decent person. Bonnie Parker is a different story.
