Las Vegas, NV – Nevada State Democratic Party Spokesperson Sarah Zukowski issued the following statement after Congressman Heck officially filed for Nevada’s U.S. Senate seat:

“Congressman Heck consistently puts his Party’s bosses in Washington ahead of Nevada working families. He votes with his Party 90% of the time, opposed comprehensive immigration reform, voted time and again to defund Planned Parenthood, and calls Social Security a ‘pyramid scheme’ that ‘isn’t working.’ After nearly half a decade in Washington, it’s clear that what truly ‘isn’t working’ for Nevada families is Congressman Heck and the Republican Congress.  Nevada needs a problem solver in the Senate who will work across the aisle to get things done, and that’s why Nevada will elect Catherine Cortez Masto to the Senate this November.”
