Reid To Begin Airing Two TV Ads
Ads Highlight Senator’s History and "Determination that Makes a Difference" Creating Jobs, Delivering for Nevadans
LAS VEGAS [10/12/09] – Today, Senator Harry Reid announced that his campaign will air two new television advertisements beginning tomorrow, October 16, titled “Nevada Jobs” and “Hard Work.” Long planned to begin airing a year out from the election, the two spots will begin introducing the Majority Leader to the 395,749 new voters registered in Nevada since his last election in 2004, or approximately one third of all registered voters in the state.
The first two television ads of the campaign, the spots tell the story of Senator Reid’s deep roots in the state, along with his determination to build on his track record of creating jobs and delivering for hardworking Nevadans.
“I can look back and it doesn’t seem that long ago that I lived in a home that didn’t have hot water,” said Reid in the ad “Hard Work”. “I know that the people in Nevada are struggling. I think of this every day.”
The ad goes on to detail how Senator Reid’s humble beginnings growing up the son of a rock miner in Searchlight gave him the determination that makes a difference to use his clout as Senate Majority Leader to create jobs and deliver for Nevada’s teachers and law enforcement.
Building on this theme, the ad, “Jobs”, tells the story of Senator Reid’s efforts to help save the nation’s largest construction project, City Center in Las Vegas, an endeavor that would have cost 10,000 construction jobs and 12,000 permanent jobs if it had shut down.
Of Senator Reid, Jim Murren, CEO of MGM Mirage, who was featured in the ad said, “That man called every CEO of every bank that I know and said look, this is important to my state. Get it done. Now we’re going to open up City Center in December. We’re going to employ over 12,000 people. They would not have jobs today if it not for Senator Reid.”
“This long planned ad release will help the hundreds of thousands of new Nevada voters get to know who Senator Reid is, where he comes from, and what his track record is when it comes to fighting for the people of his home state,” said campaign manager Brandon Hall. “It’s important that voters hear how his story growing up in Searchlight, working his way through school has made him determined to deliver for the hardworking families struggling to make ends meet as the economy slowly begins to recover.”

“Nevada Jobs” Script
Jim Murren, CEO of MGM Mirage: My darkest days in my professional career were this year and it was all about City Center.
Announcer: The Nation’s biggest construction project. 10,000 construction workers. 12,000 permanent jobs. And when it looked like City Center was going to shut down, Harry Reid stepped up.
Murren: That man called every CEO of every bank that I know and said, look, this is important to my state. Get it done. Now we’re going to open up City Center in December. We’re going to employ over 12,000 people. They would not have jobs today if it not for Senator Reid.
Announcer: As Senate Leader, Harry Reid’s working to get our economy back on track. Passing clean energy tax credits that will create 41,000 Nevada jobs. Over $100 million to keep Nevada police on the beat and teachers in the classroom. And saving City Center.
Murren: There’s no one else that could have done that.
Senator Reid: Some said I shouldn’t have pushed so hard. But with 20,000 jobs at stake, I’d do it all over again.
Announcer: Harry Reid. Determination that makes a difference.
Senator Reid: I’m Harry Reid and I approve this message.
“Hard Work” Script
Senator Reid: I can look back and doesn’t seem that long ago that I lived in a home that didn’t have hot water.
Announcer: Harry Reid saw some difficult days. The son of a hard rock miner, Harry Reid hitchhiked 40 miles to high school, worked his way through college as a janitor, and law school as a cop. But as tough as it got, he never backed down. When the mob tried to take over Vegas, Harry Reid took them on and didn’t blink, even when they put a bomb in the family station wagon. It’s the same determination he’s using today as Senate Leader to get Nevada’s economy back on track.
Reid: I know that people in Nevada are struggling. I think of this every day.
Announcer: That’s why he passed clean energy tax credits that will create 41,000 jobs, stopped the banks from shutting down City Center, saving 20,000 more and delivered millions to keep Nevada cops and teachers working.
Reid: You know it’s never easy, but we’ve got the people and the resources to come back stronger than ever.
Announcer: Harry Reid. Determination that makes a difference.
Reid: I’m Harry Reid and I approve this message.
