Las Vegas, NV – Nevada State Democratic Party spokesperson Sarah Zukowski released the following statement after Sharron Angle filed today to be a Republican candidate for United States Senate:

“Nevada Republicans now have a choice between an anti-immigrant TEA Party Republican known for saying outlandish things like calling Social Security a ‘pyramid scheme’ and…Sharron Angle.  No matter which Republican emerges from this Primary – the failed former Senate candidate or the Washington Congressman who votes with his Party’s leadership 90% of the time – Nevadans will have a clear choice between a bipartisan problem solver like Catherine Cortez Masto and a far-right Republican who wants to privatize Social Security, eliminate the Department of Education, and opposes comprehensive immigration reform.”
