2006 State Treasurer Race
Unable to seek a third term as State Controller, in January 2006, Augustine announced her candidacy for Nevada State Treasurer, despite opposition from state Republican Party leaders stemming from her impeachment. In May 2006, the party voted to deny her party support in the State Treasurer race. Despite her death, her name remained on the ballot for the August 15 primary, and she received 18.64% of the vote. Had she won, the state Republican Party would have been allowed to designate a replacement nominee.
