(The Center Square) - Nevada state Sen. James Settelmeyer, a Republican, announced Friday he's running for the seat being vacated by Nevada's only Republican in Congress, U.S. Rep. Mark Amodei. Amodei, who represents northern Nevada including Reno and the capital, Carson City, in the 2nd Congressional District, announced his retirement last month, leading Democrats to now eye the unlikely swing seat. The filing window for candidates seeking office opened this week, with Settelmeyer as the only major Republican politician to declare a candidacy. But with no incumbent seeking reelection, Democrats are hoping to ride their way into a Republican stronghold as part of their midterm efforts to seize the razor-thin House majority now held by the GOP. “Serving the people of Nevada has been the honor of my lifetime,” Amodei said in a February press release announcing his retirement. “Nobody is prouder of our Nevada congressional district than me. Thank you for the honor. Every achievement worth doing began with listening to Nevadans and fighting for our values.” On the national scale, Republicans hold a small four-seat advantage over Democrats, but many recent polls show Democrats with a slight advantage heading into the 2026 elections in November. The result is that with 435 representatives in the House, even an individual seat like Amodei’s District 2 could be decisive for party control on the national level. It takes 218 seats to secure a majority. Currently Republicans have 218 seats; Democrats, 214. There are three vacancies after the resignations of Reps. Milkie Sherrill, D-New Jersey, and Marjorie Taylor-Green, R-Georgia, and the death of U.S. Rep. Doug LaMalfa, R-California. Settlemeyer joins nine other Republicans vying for Amodei’s district in the party primary in June. On the other side of the aisle, four Democrats have filed for the office, but none have previously held public office. The filing period for this year’s election ends March 13. Amodei, who first won congressional office in 2011, previously served in the state Senate and Assembly. “I came to Congress to solve problems and to make sure our State and Nation have a strong voice in the federal policy and oversight processes,” Amodei said in a statement. “I look forward to finishing my term. After 15 years of service, I believe it is the right time for Nevada and myself to pass the torch.” Settlemeyer is the only candidate in the race with elected office experience on the state or national scale. He's currently the co-majority whip of the state Senate and represents Churchill, Douglass, Lyon and Storey counties. The campaign is expected to feature major debates over immigration policy, health care and the economy.

The Idaho House of Representatives on Friday passed a bill that would require all local law enforcement to enter agreements with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, ICE, in the federal 287(g) program.  The bill faced opposition from associations representing county sheriff’s offices and local police departments, who said the 287(g) program should be optional, mainly […]

(The Center Square) – A bill that would let an unelected state board effectively remove an elected sheriff from office in Washington state was passed by the House of Representatives in the wee hours of Friday. For nearly eight hours, Republicans offered dozens of amendments, which were summarily rejected by majority party Democrats, ahead of final passage just before 1:30 a.m. Four Democrats joined every Republican in opposing the bill on a final 54-42 vote. Senate Bill 5974, sponsored by Sen. John Lovick, D-Mill Creek, now heads back to the Senate for concurrence, as the measure passed in the House was a striker bill, offered by Rep. Roger Goodman, D-Kirkland, which made several changes to the version that passed the Senate. The bill would raise the minimum age for sheriff candidates from 18 to 25, require at least five years of full-time law enforcement experience, and mandate background checks and certification from the Criminal Justice Training Commission. The commission could revoke certification for misconduct, leading to elected sheriffs being removed from office. “This bill will build confidence and community trust between community and law enforcement, especially our law enforcement leaders,” Goodman said on the House floor Thursday evening. “Our law enforcement leaders should be subject to the same eligibility requirements, qualifications, and accountability measures as those who work for them, or maybe even greater, a higher bar.” Opponents came out hard against the measure, arguing it strips voters of their right to elect a sheriff of their choice. In a Friday morning interview with The Center Square, Pierce County Sheriff Keith Swank said commission members would be able to disqualify him when he’s up for reelection. “Every time you run, they’ll do a background on you. And pull up your social media that they don't like, and things you've said, and then deem you unqualified. They could say that even if you have overwhelming support from the folks that put you into office,” Swank said. “They want to be able to remove people who don't go along with a program, don't go along with them.” During floor speeches, Republicans referred to the bill as the “get rid of Keith Swank bill,” arguing Democrats were using legislation to remove a sheriff who has wide support from the majority of his constituents. After Swank testified against the bill earlier this year, the Washington Association of Sheriffs and Police Chiefs condemned his comments as inflammatory. Swank said if legislators tried to remove him, “thousands of Pierce County residents will surround the county city building.” During Friday’s interview with The Center Square, Swank didn’t back down from those comments, and said he has support from sheriffs across the state who have thanked him for pushing so hard against the bill. One of the first casualties of the legislation, assuming Gov. Bob Ferguson signs it into law, could be Rick Kuss, who is running for sheriff in Kitsap County. Kuss is a retired U.S. Navy officer who holds a master’s degree in criminal justice and has served as a deputy with the King County Sheriff's Office since 2023. Despite the combination of military leadership and active patrol experience, the bill’s strict uninterrupted employment timeline would disqualify him from appearing on the ballot. In a Friday interview, Kuss told The Center Square he is undeterred. “It is a disappointment, but it's not like I didn't see it coming because of the way this legislative session has been going,” he said. “I realized this is probably going to end up in a legal battle going up through the court system, so I anticipated that and nothing has stopped me from my current path forward and doing what I'm doing and continuing campaigning until the day they physically remove me from the ballot for this upcoming election.” Kuss said he will join legal challenges against it, should it become law. But in the meantime, he remains focused on defeating the legislation. “I'm not giving up,” he said. “And people need to realize that we need to start standing up for ourselves. What is the hill you'll die on? What is something that you'll fight with everything you have for? This is it. To me, it's clear that this is what I will stand up and fight for.” Sheriffs in Washington are elected in 38 of the state’s 39 counties. Only King County has an appointed sheriff.

Le 7 mars au matin, Hitler remet aux ambassadeurs des pays signataires des accords de Locarno, que l'Allemagne a librement ratifiés en 1925, une note les informant de la remilitarisation de la Rhénanie. Hitler met en cause, officiellement, le traité franco-soviétique d'assistance mutuelle de 1935. Il dit y voir une agression contre le Reich, en une inversion accusatoire dont il a le secret. Face à cette escalade, les troupes françaises font des manœuvres à la frontière, mais ne réagissent pas.
