Flippo's Residency Debate

A Nevada GOP primary showdown pits newly arrived Air Force veteran David Flippo against longtime resident James Settelmeyer, with residency timing sparking heated debate. Flippo claims he’s lived in Reno since late February, citing voter registration, a driver’s license, and nightly stays — arguing he meets constitutional requirements. Settelmeyer, backed by major conservative groups and boasting decades in the district, mocks Flippo’s short tenure and accuses him of lacking local roots. Flippo counters that Settelmeyer’s voting record doesn’t reflect Northern Nevada values, and that district changes make past residency irrelevant. Voters now face a choice: loyalty to local history or alignment with conservative policy — a classic political tug-of-war. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
