While in office, Cortez Masto took at least 40 trips and spent at least 174 days traveling outside of Nevada on trips paid for by taxpayers and special interests. A New York Times investigation scrutinized many of these trips as nothing more than an opportunity for politicians to connect with lobbyists and corporate donors. While abdicating her taxpayer-funded job for a special interest-sponsored lifestyle, Cortez Masto jetted to numerous exotic locations like Argentina, Hawaii, and Switzerland.
The ad is part of a major NRSC ad buy in Nevada and begins airing today on Spanish language stations in the Las Vegas media market.
“Catherine Cortez Masto is just another corrupt politician who used her time in office for personal benefit. She neglected her duties as an elected official to rub elbows with lobbyists and donors. Nevada can’t afford another Senator whose political career has been defined by partisanship and corruption.” – NRSC spokesman Greg Blair
