Attorney General Adam Laxalt has brought on two national political operatives to help run his nascent campaign for governor, including a former chief of staff to prominent Republican political operative Karl Rove.

The conservative attorney general's campaign is being boosted by two experienced operatives — Kristin Davison and Stephen Puetz — who have been actively promoting Laxalt's bid after he launched it in Las Vegas and Reno last week.

Neither Davison, Puetz nor a spokesman with the Laxalt campaign responded to questions about their roles, but the two have regularly posted updates from campaign events on their Twitter accounts, with Davison posting pictures taken at campaign stops in Yerington, Fallon and Elko. Puetz published images from Laxalt’s Las Vegas announcement on Twitter, and remains the only person to share a video highlighting the candidate’s announcement speech in Las Vegas.

Davison previously served as campaign manager for Alabama Republican Sen. Luther Strange, who in September lost a primary runoff election against former Alabama Chief Justice Roy Moore.

Her previous campaign experience includes stints for Missouri Sen. Roy Blunt and Florida Sen. Marco Rubio, and earlier this year helped kick off Florida Agriculture Commissioner Adam Putnam’s gubernatorial bid before leaving the campaign in May. She spent several years as Rove’s chief of staff.

Puetz is a senior vice president with Axiom Strategies, the political consulting firm led by Texas Sen. Ted Cruz’s 2016 presidential campaign manager Jeff Roe. Laxalt endorsed Cruz ahead of Nevada’s early presidential primary caucus — the Texan finished third in the state behind Donald Trump and Rubio.

Puetz previously spent more than three years as the chief of staff to San Diego Mayor Kevin Faulconer, a Republican who won a special election to become mayor of the California city in 2014, and was re-elected by a healthy margin in 2016.

Running against Laxalt in the Republican gubernatorial primary is state Treasurer Dan Schwartz, as well as bike shop owner Jared Fisher. A pair of Clark County Commission members — Steve Sisolak and Chris Giunchigliani — are competing in the Democratic primary.
