The recent campaign commercials by Sen. Dean Heller suggesting that Congresswoman Jacky Rosen has not had any bills passed are a misrepresentation. Rep. Rosen is a Democrat in a strictly Republican-controlled House that doesn’t allow any Democrat to pass a bill.

Additionally, Sen. Heller touts his bills for veterans. Those are well timed for the campaign, but remember, Republicans have voted against funding for the VA repeatedly. This has allowed the senator to sponsor piecemeal legislation to make him look like a veteran supporter. As a veteran, I reject what I see as phony.

Why not invest in programs that have success stories and that work rather than fund the same old, same old system that has not been successful and will continue to flounder?

Donald Trump and Sam Brown are extremists. These are two men who would sooner throw your vote away if it’s not for them.

These so-called CBO budget experts, if in the private sector, would be put out on the streets for their incompetence.

A woman has the right to an abortion up to 24 weeks. In fact, no one in Nevada can take away the right to an abortion, including Mr. Brown.

Isn’t it fascinating that signatures are excruciatingly validated and litigated when it comes to appearing on the ballot, but ignored once the actual voting takes place?
