Reid Launches TV Ad Highlighting Determination and Clout to Deliver

LAS VEGAS - Today, Friends for Harry Reid launched its latest television advertisement to show how Nevada is benefitting from its representation by America's most powerful senator.  Titled "Determination", the ad details some of Senator Reid's work leveraging his clout as majority leader to turn the economy around and deliver for his home state.

"He’s the most powerful senator Nevada has ever had," begins the ad.  "And Harry Reid’s working harder than ever to get Nevada’s economy back on track." 

The spot highlights Senator Reid’s proven track record, detailing a number of steps he has already taken as majority leader to help Nevada through the economic crisis.  This includes saving 20,000 jobs at CityCenter, passing solar energy tax credits that will create 41,000 jobs, and securing the funding required to hire new police officers and keep teachers in the classrooms.

"Nevada has seen tough times before and we’re going to recover and be as strong as ever,” says Reid.  "As the leader of the Senate my responsibility is to make sure that no one takes advantage of Nevada." 

It also highlights Sen. Reid’s work to provide relief for Nevadans, including tax cuts for Nevada families, expanding affordable healthcare to 37,000 children, and giving our veterans the education opportunities they deserve through the GI Bill of Rights.

"This ad lays out for voters how Sen. Reid's determination and clout are getting results for Nevada by creating jobs, securing tax relief for hardworking families, and honoring the service of our veterans," said campaign manager Brandon Hall.  "Sen. Reid will continue to leverage his leadership position and deliver for his home state the way a freshman member of Congress never could."
