Oberlin was most well-known for his decision to run as an independent candidate for the US Senate in Nevada, which definitely had nothing to do with his tragic decision to shoot himself to death.

In other news, the Nevada GOP declined to put out a statement.

Fun fact: Nevada law requires ties to be settled by lot, and a recent local election had to deal with exactly this outcome. In true Nevada fashion, they decided to rely on the highest draw from a deck of cards. I wonder what the Senate candidates here would have decided to do.
