Democrat Rory Reid has spent the past couple weeks attacking his Republican rival in the governor's race via press release and earned media. But he may be taking that attack to the airwaves as early as tomorrow.
The campaign is set to begin airing its first television ads of the general election campaign this week. They're hoping to have the spot up tomorrow morning. No word yet on whether the ads will be positive, negative or both. It's expected the ads will be focused on the message du jour: education.
Perhaps a paid spot that will penetrate thousands of Nevada households will provoke Brian Sandoval to enter the fray on education after all.
Having seen how Rory has performed here in Clark County, do you really think he can say anything that will persuade me to let him do the same to the State?!?
Although I am generally conservative, my children's education trumps political ideology. I support education, I will support Rory Reid!
Dear Voters,
Please don't look at how I've mishandled UMC, the Clark County firefighters and the many other messes in Clark County. Look at something for which I have no track record: education. At least my resume will not prove me incompetent on that issue.
Wishfully thinking,
Rory Reid
Please explain how Reid mishandled the Clark County Firefighters. From what I understand he has fought their union to force them to negotiate.
One Reid in our government is already a disaster. I'd vote for a deaf and dumb cocker spaniel before I'd vote for another Reid.
Look at who's signature is on the FD contract for the County. He hasn't done a damn thing to contest the FD contracts until this year.
As Governor is Rory Reid going to issue Nevada State Bond approvals for his semi-private company the Las Vegas Valley Water District Bond issues... (via the Southern Nevada Water Authority)?
As County Commissioner now he counter signs the County Muni-bonds issued by his own company LVVWD...which by NRS controls the SNWA.

General Obligation Bonds. Bonds where the County pledges its full faith and credit to the repayment of the bonds. These bonds are secured by the general fund of the County.

@Born2Run
Were you serious when you asked me to explain how Rory Reid mishandled the Clark County Firefighters? The reason I ask is that I assume that you know at least the most basic facts about Reid, and armed with such knowledge, your question appears to be facetious.
Primarily, you obviously would have to know that Reid was a County Commissioner who approved the abusive contracts between the County and the firefighters since January 2003. In other words, Reid is what created the mess.
Reid only became interested in cleaning up his mess (what you called "negotiation") when the taxpayers starting becoming aware of how he has abused them by paying an average annual compensation of nearly $200,000 per firefighter.
Also, for all the rhetoric about "negotiating" with the firefighters, please note that according to today's R-J, Reid and the other County Commissioners have eliminated 300 jobs in the past year. I cannot find any evidence that any County firefighters were among the eliminated positions.
Now that's playing hardball! Give 'em hell, Rory!
@ dhvincent. Your grammar is written as poorly as a Jim Gibbons press release. Let me help you out.
born2run, you are to(o) funny(,)(a)nd a liar. The CCFD union has to neogiate(negotiate) because their contract is expiring (will expire). Please(,) tell me about Reid's education plan. What part do you like(?) The part about unicorns or the part about fairies? (This is a fragment sentence.)
I enjoy reading all of your anti-Reid posts. I am a registered Republican and voted for Lowden and Montandon.
Flame away my conspiratorial friends.
