Today, Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee spokesperson Patrick Burgwinkle issued the following statement on Nevada GOP nominee Adam Laxalt:
“Adam Laxalt is a sleazy, corrupt politician who is out for himself, his donors, and Trump – but he doesn’t care about doing what’s right for Nevada. Laxalt has fully embraced Trump’s toxic election lies and an agenda that is completely out of step with the state, including his career-long crusade to strip away the rights of Nevada women to make their own health care decisions. Nevada voters have rejected this failed career politician before, and they will do so once again in November.”
What To Know About Adam Laxalt:
Laxalt has been called the “face of” the Big Lie in Nevada – and “is already laying detailed groundwork to fight election fraud in his race — long before a single vote has been cast or counted.”Local law enforcement have slammed Laxalt for fundraising off the Big Lie.
Laxalt is virulently anti-choice – a position that is deeply out-of-step with Nevada voters. Public polls show “a vast majority of Nevadans remain in favor of abortion rights, including a majority of Republicans” – yet Adam Laxalt called overturning Roe v. Wade “a historic victory.”
Laxalt is a sleazy and corrupt politician who is out for himself. The Nevada press has raised important questions about how Laxalt “turned to lucrative private practice” between campaigns – leveraging his political connection to right wing insiders and special interests to enrich himself. His tenure as Nevada’s Attorney General was mired by corruption scandals.
Even Republicans don’t trust Laxalt. Sam Brown has slammed Laxalt as a “career politician” and “political elite” who was “born into power” – and top GOP donors in Nevada have urged Trump to rescind his endorsement.
