After months of silence on the Obama nuclear giveaway, Catherine Cortez Masto finally took a position on the issue. Her choice to stand with Obama and put our national security at risk flies in the face of poll after poll after poll showing that the American people oppose the president’s deal and are deeply skeptical that Iran will abide by its terms. The ad will run on multiple digital and social networks.

BACKGROUND
Catherine Cortez Masto Remained Silent For Months After Promising To Review The Iran Nuclear Agreement: “In Nevada, meanwhile, Catherine Cortez Masto — a candidate endorsed by outgoing Sen. Harry Reid (D-Nev.) — put out an early statement on the deal, but then went silent. Asked about where she stood, Cortez Masto’s campaign referred back to her July statement, which was released the day the Iran deal was announced.” (Jordain Carney, “Dem Candidates Mum On Iran Deal,” The Hill, 8/21/15)
Cortez Masto Finally Stood With Obama Over The American People: “Democratic U.S. Senate candidate Catherine Cortez Masto has come out in favor of the nuclear agreement with Iran.” (“Senate Hopeful Cortez Masto Announces Support For Iran Deal,” Associated Press, 9/3/15)
