Lt. Col. David Flippo, USAF Ret.

This past Memorial Day weekend, I was proud to stand with fellow veterans and civilian supporters to commemorate those who have fallen in defense of this great nation. I was particularly honored to meet a veteran of World War II who participated in the Battle of the Bulge. Some gave all, all gave some. We owe those who given their lives to this country a great debt.

.@GovTimWalz and @MayorFrey, you are a disgrace to this nation.

For generations, my family has worn this country's uniform.  We have held up our hand to swear an oath to defend her from all enemies foreign and domestic. To my fathers before me, to the airmen we lost, to the soldiers and marines I served with who never made it home, I remember you every day. "Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends." - John 15:13

@ElliotMalin This is blatantly deceptively edited by our opponents, in a desperate attempt to bring in last minute campaign support. We will be taking legal action Here is the mailer that went out.

Honored to have the support of the MAGA movement!

Memorial Day Weekend is a time to remember the brave Americans who gave their lives in service to our nation. As we gather with family, friends, and neighbors this weekend, we should never forget that the freedoms we enjoy were secured by their sacrifice. Thank you to the Ivarson family for opening their home and bringing neighbors together for a meet and greet. I’m grateful for the opportunity to listen, visit, and share why this country is still worth fighting for.

I’m getting pretty annoyed with my opponents attacking my military service record without a shred of evidence.

So again, You are grasping at anything you can to discredit me and my Airmen. You make general assumptions and even admit that some Airmen actually did come under fire. In fact, I was in Nasiriyah when the Jessica Lynch convoy was attacked. I had flown in with special ops, ahead of my first convoy to scout, survey and secure the route. Maybe you don’t think that Lynch convoy saw combat either. You know what I didn’t do? I didn’t stop to write a book about it and post it on SM, I was a bit busy. You were not there, and like most combat veterans, we don’t share our experiences in detail and I won’t. War is horrific. I was a commander in combat. I was not there to earn medals or awards. I was there to do a job. My unit was later recognized with the Valor Award. That doesn’t just happen accidentally. You post that I’m either a Fraud or a Liar. Very interesting, since you weren’t there and only make assumptions. There is a third option that you left off. That you are absolutely wrong and your sole purpose is to discredit me and my service no matter how many lies and falsehoods you need to create. I wonder which candidate you support that you’re so desperate to create a fake narrative. That article was written, after I had left and things had calmed down, by a Capt who was not even there in the first surge. So of course, he had no reference to what we engaged with. I myself, had no time to document my every action, nor did I desire to. Although if you search, there were articles written by my ABC imbedded media team during that initial surge.

@DavidFlippoNV @TheBillPost It wasn't Iwo Jima "I raised my weapon and waited to see if he would do anything, but he didn't," Mejia said. "As we passed by, I could look out my rear view mirrors and see each of our trucks in turn raise their weapons toward that area - but fortunately, not a shot was fired."

Christopher Schweppe wrote this today. I don’t know him but these are powerful points about David Flippo. “Nevadans should take a closer look at Dave Flippo and the image he presents on the campaign trail. As a fellow retired veteran, I find the way he portrays his military record troubling. He appears to lean heavily on the implication that he earned recognition for combat valor, when the publicly available information does not support that narrative. The Bronze Star he references appears to have been an administrative or end-of-tour award rather than one tied to a specific act of heroism in combat. There is no “V” device associated with it, nor evidence of documented battlefield valor. That distinction matters. Military awards carry weight because they represent sacrifice, service, and in some cases extraordinary courage under fire. Blurring the lines between routine commendations and combat valor risks misleading voters who may not understand the difference. Presenting oneself as a hardened “combat commander” without a documented combat record raises legitimate questions about honesty and transparency. It also strains credibility when campaign rhetoric suggests that an Air Force lieutenant colonel responsible for more than 1,000 airmen was somehow operating with Army infantry units in frontline combat conditions. Senior Air Force officers in those types of command positions are not ever out conducting infantry-style battlefield operations. Likewise, Air Force supply officers are not the ones “establishing bases” inside Army-run combat theaters in the way these stories are sometimes portrayed. Those claims create an image that sounds more like political storytelling than an accurate description of military duties and command responsibilities. The larger issue is character. Public officials ask voters to trust them, and trust starts with being straightforward about one’s background and accomplishments. When a candidate appears to exaggerate or strategically frame their service record for political advantage, it naturally causes people to wonder what else may be embellished. Nevadans deserve leaders who respect both the truth and the intelligence of the voters. Relying on carefully crafted imagery instead of plain facts may be effective politics to some, but it leaves the impression of image management rather than genuine integrity.” nevadanewsandviews.com/nv-02s-david-f…

Christopher and Bill, I am not going to allow you or anyone else to disrespect my service or my Unit, the 332nd ELRS. Interesting opinion you have, with no facts, only opinion of things you know nothing about. My entire unit was awarded the AF Outstanding Unit Award with Valor device. That should tell you something. Very few units receive that. I never claimed to be with Army infantry. The fact is that I had Marines assigned to missions. Many of our missions in the early stages, came under fire. I also had Latvians, Estonians and Lithuanians assigned to my Unit, along with British units. But hey, apparently you know everything about what my unit did. Here’s an article that was written after I departed the theater, after over a year in the AOR. It took me two years after I left the combat zone to make sure my Airmen also received their Bronze Star. That’s what a leader does. A leader doesn’t quit. edwards.af.mil/News/Air-Force…

I am deeply honored to receive the endorsement of @MortonBlackwell, a true conservative icon who helped build the Reagan revolution. His support reinforces that our campaign stands for the principled, winning conservatism Nevada and America desperately need.

Campaigning today at Anneke Schat’s Coffee and Pastry. While a Never-Trump Chicago Billionaire attacks me on TV, I’ll campaign by taking my case right to the voters.

@NVCommish I live in the district, want to come by my house? I also own property in Southern Nevada and a business in Utah.

@DavidFlippoNV Let's start with living in the district. Then we can talk about your disgusting commercials.

Earlier this week, I held a meet and greet in James Settelmeyer’s home county of Douglas County, and more than 50 residents showed up. The message from voters was clear. When people look at Settelmeyer’s voting record and compare it to my positions, they see the difference immediately. I’m the America First conservative in this race.

@Hiyapeeps27 @tylerbowyer This was a community center

@DavidFlippoNV @tylerbowyer Someone has a home that fits 50 people in it. Damn.

@NVCommish I’m sorry sir, what do you believe that I lied about?

@DavidFlippoNV 🤣🤣🤣An absolute liar can't buy votes in Douglas County Nevada. Bookmark this and check back after the election. #NoFlippo

🚨ENDORSEMENT ALERT 🚨 Congressman Rich McCormick @RichforGA has ENDORSED Lt. Col. David Flippo! Congressman McCormick is a Marine helicopter pilot, and one of @realDonaldTrump 's strongest allies - MAGA fighters know that Flippo will have their back!

A dark money super PAC funded by Never Trump, Chicago billionaire Ken Griffin has spent over $200,000 attacking me and supporting James Settelmeyer. The Never Trumpers are pulling out all the stops to keep our movement from winning!

@NancyD81691725 @RealWashoeGOP Because lobbyists try to put unpopular pork and carve outs for special interests. We should have single issue only bills. That’s a big reason why the lobbyist crowd is after me, because they know I won’t stand for that BS.

@DavidFlippoNV @RealWashoeGOP Thank you for your response. My policy question, what are some of the reasons there are no stand alone bills?

I’m honored to have been endorsed by @RealWashoeGOP! Under Chairman Parks, the Washoe GOP has become a dynamic action committee that gets Republicans elected. Northern Nevada deserves a real conservative in Congress that respects and represents the grassroots conservative movement.
