Past and present Senate candidates from Nevada: on Government Reform

Danny Tarkanian: Drain the swamp by imposing term limits on Congress

Outside the beltway, Americans have another name for this alternative universe: The Swamp. And the only way to drain it and keep it drained is with term limits--just like we have for presidents; just like we have for Nevada legislators.

However, these elected Swamp creatures will do everything in their power to block a constitutional term limits amendment. But that doesn't stop true citizen legislators who wish to serve and return home, as our Founders intended, from imposing term limits on themselves.

And that's exactly my commitment to Nevadans. If elected, I promise to actively support a Constitutional amendment providing for term limits on Member of the United States House and Senate. Because it's the right thing to do. For America. And for Nevada.

Dean Heller: Don't require disclosure of political campaign donors

Dean Heller (R): No. Voted against bill to require this.

Jacky Rosen (D): Yes. Co-sponsored bill to require this.

Q: Support Citizens United decision, allowing unlimited political donations from corporations and unions?

Dean Heller (R): Unclear. Has called for the end of corporate & union donations, but not for overturning the decision.

Jacky Rosen (D): No. Supports constitutional amendment to overturn decision.

Jacky Rosen: AdWatch: Passed zero bills? But co-sponsored eight bills

"Zero," the announcer begins while images of Rosen are splashed across the screen. "That's the number of bills Jacky Rosen passed in Congress before announcing she was running for the Senate." The ad goes on to say that Rosen passed "zero" bills to help veterans or improve health care, but claims she had "plenty of time to campaign in California."

This isn't the first time Heller's campaign has blasted Rosen for her record in the House. Rosen's spokesman said the congresswoman has directly co-sponsored eight bills that have been signed into law and co-sponsored 398 bills overall.

Jacky Rosen: More campaign disclosure; overturn Citizens United

Dean Heller (R): No. Voted against bill to require this.

Jacky Rosen (D): Yes. Co-sponsored bill to require this.

Q: Support Citizens United decision, allowing unlimited political donations from corporations and unions?

Dean Heller (R): Unclear. Has called for the end of corporate & union donations, but not for overturning the decision.

Jacky Rosen (D): No. Supports constitutional amendment to overturn decision.

James Vandermaas: Keep public lands in Federal hands to preserve them

Sharron Angle: In state legislature, sole No vote called "41 to Angle"

Reid is in the fight of his career as he seeks a fifth term. Angle, a former state legislator, has the momentum of a come-from-behind primary victory and the support of the Tea Party.

Angle was famous as a state legislator for voting "no" so often that votes in the assembly were described as "41 to Angle."

Shelley Berkley: Free Nevada: No out-of-state donations for Senate race

The Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee took the response as enough encouragement to offer a bit of a sweetener: it pledged to keep its considerable resources out of the Silver State if Heller agrees to the deal. But the National Republican Senatorial Committee saw only hypocrisy. While both sides are at least expressing an interest in limiting outside cash, such money played a large role in Nevada's 2010 Senate contest. Frontrunner Pete Hoekstra faced a battery of criticisms during a Republican Senate debate, over racism accusations for a Super Bowl advertisement. The ad featured a bike-riding Chinese woman thanking incumbent Democrat Sen. Debbie Stabenow (called Spend-it-now in the promo) in broken English for helping support deficit spending that is aiding the Chinese economy. The ad received national criticism from both sides of the aisle.

Former Michigan State Board of Education member

Adam Laxalt: Illegal votes in 2020 from dead voters and double voters

Laxalt, the former Nevada attorney general, wrote a November 2020 article that falsely claimed "we now know that there are thousands of illegal votes consisting of a combination of dead voters, out-of-state voters, double voters (those who cast ballots in Nevada and another state), among other improper votes." None of these claims was accurate; the subsequent review by the office of Nevada's Republican secretary of state did not find "evidentiary support" for fellow Republicans' various fraud claims.

In other comments in November 2020, Laxalt said the number of improper ballots in Nevada could even be in the tens of thousands. He also cast aspersions upon the demonstrably legal votes of members of the military who voted in Nevada after being transferred to other states.

Sam Brown: Election integrity legislation will be a top priority

Passing election integrity legislation will be a top priority as a U.S. Senator. Every day, Americans are required to present identification to access even the most basic services. It should be the same for any person casting a ballot in an election. Voter ID is a common sense and highly effective way to secure our elections immediately.

Voting Rules : Make voting harder or easier?

• Jacky Rosen (D): Easier. Supported restoring key provisions of the 1965 Voting Rights Act and legislation expanding voter access and registration. "We must protect the sacred right to vote."
