Sharron Angle, who made her bones running against the reviled Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid in Nevada back in 2010 is back in the game. According to Jon Ralson, she is challenging Mark Amodei in Nevada’s second district.
Guys, Sharron Angle has made an appointment with the secretary of state Monday morning to file against @MarkAmodeiNV2. #WeMatter

Angle launched an unsuccessful run for Senate in 2016 and lost to Joe Heck (R-Nev.). She is now making her play against a Republican incumbent in a congressional district that voted 48-46 percent for Hillary Clinton over President Trump.
Angle was part of the tea party slate running in 2010, losing to Harry Reid by six points in her first-ever statewide bid. Her high profile within the tea party movement will be sure to attract attention from activists and donors alike as a test of the popularity of House incumbents.
