Adam Laxalt: A Corrupt Politician Nevadans Don’t Trust

Las Vegas, NV – Tonight, Adam Laxalt won his primary election against an unknown Republican thanks to $2 million in spending from Washington, DC special interest groups. The late spending to boost Laxalt and defeat his opponent is a clear sign that Nevadans don’t trust Laxalt and will reject him once again in November.

“Adam Laxalt is only out for himself, not Nevada, which is why he was overwhelmingly rejected in his last campaign,” said Cortez Masto campaign spokesman Josh Marcus-Blank. “He was a corrupt attorney general and he has become even worse since his failed campaign for governor, making millions working for a longtime Washington lobbyist that represents Big Oil companies squeezing Nevadans. Meanwhile, Senator Cortez Masto continues to focus on the issues that matter most to Nevadans, fighting to lower costs, and taking on those same companies.”

A lifelong Nevadan, Catherine Cortez Masto has a record of working with Democrats and Republicans, always delivering for her state.

• Catherine took bold action to get Nevada its fair share of relief during the pandemic, bringing Nevada’s unemployment rate down to nearly pre-pandemic levels.
• She’s leading efforts to lower health care costs and hold Big Oil companies accountable for high gas prices.
• The former top law enforcement official in Nevada, Catherine is endorsed by the Nevada Association of Public Safety Officers and the Nevada Law Enforcement Coalition, representing 19 law enforcement and public safety unions and thousands of officers.

That’s a strong contrast from Adam Laxalt, a corrupt politician who is out for himself – not Nevada.

• Laxalt abused his attorney general office to benefit his campaign donors and has recently cashed in, making nearly $3 million dollars working for a longtime Washington, DC lobbyist.
• Laxalt is far out-of-step with Nevadans on abortion, calling the end of Roe v. Wade “an historic victory” and supporting a measure to overturn Nevada’s abortion protections.
• As Donald Trump’s campaign co-chair in Nevada, Laxalt led efforts to overturn the 2020 presidential election and wants the power to do so going forward if he doesn’t like the results.
