Long-time State Senator Dean Rhoads Endorses Reid
Rhoads is the latest high-profile Republican for Reid, joins more than 400 others
LAS VEGAS – Today long-time Republican State Senator Dean Rhoads, of Tuscarora, endorsed Senator Harry Reid for reelection in a letter to the Elko Daily Free Press, as first reported by political columnist Jon Ralston.
According to the Free Press:
Rhoads wrote that rural Nevada depends on two legislative pillars, the Taylor Grazing Act and the 1872 Mining Law.
“While many Democrats would like to end grazing on public lands and slap a huge royalty on hard rock mining, Harry Reid is not one of them,” Rhoads wrote. “As Majority Leader of the United States Senate he puts an end to proposals like these before they ever catch flight.”
The longtime state senator wrote that the choice on Nov. 2 is clear:
“We can support Senator Reid and keep rural Nevada’s key industries humming, or we can choose someone whose out-of-touch positions and lack of seniority are sure to put Nevada’s interests on the sidelines.”
Rhoads also wrote that the U.S. Senate will remain under control of Democrats after the election, and that rural Nevada will be worse off if Reid is voted out and Sen. Charles Schumer, D-N.Y., becomes majority leader.
Rhoads’ full letter will be published in Friday’s edition of the Elko Daily Free Press.
Rhoads, a rancher, has served in the state Senate since 1985, and served in the Assembly from 1977 to 1981.
Republicans for Harry Reid already includes a number of Republicans voicing their support for Senator Reid, including Republican strategist Sig Rogich, former Republican National Committee Chairman Frank J. Fahrenkopf, MGM Resorts International, CEO and Chairman Jim Murren, Former Nevada First Lady Dawn Gibbons, Former Nevada First Lady Dema Guinn Entertainer Wayne Newton, UNR Football Coach Chris Ault, Civil Rights Leader Robert Bailey, NV Energy President and CEO Michael Yackira, and Nevada Rangers President Joe Gill.
