From corruption to partisanship, Cortez Masto has been a “loyal Democratic foot soldier.” And as a candidate, she can’t escape the shadow of her political godfather Harry Reid.
Earlier today, Reid let the obvious slip by referring to Cortez Masto as ‘his candidate’ – he believes his seat in the Senate belongs to him rather than the people of Nevada, and he’s recruited a handpicked candidate to keep his partisan legacy intact.

Reid’s fingerprints are all over the Cortez Masto campaign. The Minority Leader even personally dispatched his personal staff to Nevada to bail out his would-be successor as word began to leak that Cortez Masto was running a lackluster campaign.
“Reflecting Democratic concern, some Reid staff members, including Kristen Orthman, his communications director, are being dispatched to the state party to bolster the final Democratic push.”
Reid told a Hillary Clinton rally last month that he has a “proprietary interest” in electing Cortez Masto to his Senate seat, leaving no doubt that ‘his candidate’ will follow in Reid’s footsteps when it comes to making Washington partisanship a higher priority than Nevada families.

Make no mistake, Catherine Cortez Masto is a partisan politician who can’t be trusted to put Nevada first – just ask her mentor Harry Reid.
