LAS VEGAS (AP) — Jeff Gunter, a dermatologist who was ambassador to Iceland during Donald Trump's administration, announced Monday he's running for U.S. Senate in Nevada, joining an increasingly crowded field of Republicans looking to unseat first-term Democratic incumbent Jacky Rosen.
In a three-minute introductory video, Gunter presented himself as a loyal Trump supporter committed to furthering the former president's movement.
“I'll fight to support Donald Trump and his amazing and great America First agenda,” Gunter says in the video.
Rosen is one of the top Republican targets in next year's election as the GOP looks to wrest the Senate majority from Democrats, who now hold a 51-49 edge in the chamber.
