LAS VEGAS, Nev. (FOX5) – One of the closest races drawing voters to the polls is the race between incumbent Democratic Senator Jacky Rosen and her rival, Republican Sam Brown.

“I know it’s my name on the signs, my name on the ballot, but this isn’t really my campaign,” Brown said. “This is our campaign.”

“We are at our best when we are working toward something, a positive goal,” Rosen said.

Voters in the battleground state of Nevada have these two candidates to choose from to represent the Silver State nationally.

Retired Army Captain Sam Brown and politician Jacky Rosen.

Each candidate had a lot to say about the other.

“I would rather be in our position than in Senator Rosen’s position,” Brown said. “We have the momentum. The problems are on our side.”

“He’s trying to cover up his extreme positions because in his third run for president, he will do or say anything,” Senator Rosen said of Brown.

The tough talks only intensified on both sides as the candidates discussed issues important to voters like immigration and health care.

Senator Rosen says Sam Brown is bad for your pocketbook.

Sam Brown says Rosen is bad for your backyard.

“Senator Rosen has been a disappointment. It is disappointing that your neighborhood has more security with guards, fences and gates than our border,” Brown said.

“He will destroy your Social Security and Medicare benefits in a minute,” Rosen said. “That’s why this election is so crucial.”

But there were common points.

“Republicans and Democrats tend to disagree on certain policy ideas, but generally speaking, I’m running for all Nevadans,” Brown said.

“Our nature is that we’re at our best when we build something and don’t tear it down,” Rosen said.

There were also lighter moments, like when they both began their speeches.

“One of the challenges of running for Senate and being 6’4″ is that sometimes I find myself with a microphone that’s too small,” Brown said.

Senator Rosen was presented with a pair of boxing gloves to begin her speech, to which she responded, “We are the boxing capital of the world.”

Nevadans have until Friday, November 1 to vote early.
