While in office, Cortez Masto engaged in what the Wall Street Journal called “one of the dirtier practices in modern politics” by awarding shady contacts, appeared to trade state contracts for political donations, and spent at least 174 days out of state on taxpayer- and special interest-funded travel. As a career-long political insider, Cortez Masto was looking out for herself and her friend Harry Reid, not Nevada families.
The ad is part of a significant NRSC ad buy in Nevada and begins airing today.
“Catherine Cortez Masto was the most corrupt attorney general in Nevada history and spent her time in office looking out for herself and her political godfather Harry Reid. Nevada families deserve a senator who will fight for them but Cortez Masto’s record proves that’s the last thought on her mind.” – NRSC spokesman Greg Blair
