Michelle Mortensen was recently was employed at Nexstar's KLAS (Las Vegas) as its Consumer Reporter.

But now, she's looking to move to the dark side.

Mortensen announced on social media that she is going to run for the 3rd Congressional District in Nevada, as a Republican candidate, currently being held by, Democrat, Jacky Rosen.

In her press release, Mortensen said, “As a consumer advocate and journalist for 18 years, I have always taken on the tough battles no one else would. In Washington, I will do the same.  I'll be your advocate and give you a real voice.”

She added, “I am tired of dysfunction in Washington,” said Mortensen. “I am tired of politicians giving us meaningless soundbites and offering promises of hope and change but delivering nothing. We can no longer allow our representatives in Washington to fail when it comes to fixing healthcare, securing our borders, cutting taxes and reducing government spending.”
