"My message of conservative leadership and putting an end to business as usual politics has clearly resonated," the former naval commander said in a statement shortly after the party chose Mark Amodei as its nominee for the Sept. 13 special election.
Amodei, the former state GOP chairman, won 221 of 323 votes cast in Saturday's nominating contest.
