DSCC Communications Director Justin Barasky released the following statement on Congressman Heck’s announcement that he will seek the Republican nomination in the Nevada Senate race:
“Congressman Heck has spent his time in Washington catering to insurance companies, big banks and Washington special interests instead of Nevada families and he will struggle to explain his anti-middle class record throughout the campaign.
Democrats have a strong candidate in Catherine Cortez Masto who’s won statewide twice before and has spent her career protecting everyday Nevadans and fighting for their interests. We look forward to a comparison of their records and know Catherine Cortez Masto will be a great Senator who always puts Nevada first.”
