Angle once said she would eliminate the Education and Energy departments and the Environmental Protection Agency. She now says she would settle for trimming their budgets.

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.

Campaign also announces more Republicans for Reid

Features include news and blog posts, video, and links to social networking sites Facebook and Twitter.

"My goal with this site is to make it as easy as possible for Nevadans to understand more about who I am, where I came from and what I am doing on their behalf, while creating yet another way for them to interact with me and get involved," Reid said.

LAS VEGAS – Last week, Archon Corporation’s annual report provided Nevadans their first glimpse at Sue Lowden’s real record as a businesswoman…and it isn’t something to be proud of. Busting the myth that job creation is her top priority, her company’s filing revealed that a $200,000 bonus to her husband was worth more to her than the jobs of nearly ¼ of her employees in 2009.

And that wasn’t the first time.

Reno, NV - The League of Conservation Voters (LCV) Action Fund, which works to elect candidates who will implement sound environmental policies, today announced its endorsement of Harry Reid for re-election to the U.S. Senate. In his 22 years in the U.S. Senate and four years in the House of Representatives, Sen. Reid has earned a 77% LCV lifetime environmental score and earned a 92% for the 110th Congress.*

“As Senate Majority Leader, Senator Reid has championed efforts to bring new clean energy jobs to Nevada and reduce our dangerous dependence on foreign oil,” said LCV Senior Vice President for Political Affairs Tony Massaro. “We are proud to endorse Senator Reid for re-election because he is working to ensure that America – and more importantly Nevada – leads in the creation of the 21st century’s clean energy economy.”

Records Show Lowdens took a $200,000 bonus after cutting 1/4 of employees

LAS VEGAS – We’ve all heard the stories of CEOs lining their pockets while putting people out of work and raiding retirement funds. No one knows that better than Sue Lowden.

According to her company's (Archon Corporation) annual report, which she just got around to filing this week, Lowden gave her husband a $200,000 bonus at the same time they reduced their workforce by nearly a quarter and cut off the company's 401 (k) match for the ones who actually got to keep their jobs. The 401 (k) matching program cost the company less than $70,000, but the Lowdens’ combined income for 2009 was nearly $1 million.

LAS VEGAS—Today, Sen. Harry Reid discussed the importance of the new Jobs Bill he introduced, highlighting how this crucial legislation will put Nevadans back to work through tax cuts to promote hiring, tax incentives to avoid layoffs, and investments in infrastructure.

The event was held at Southern Nevada Paving, a small business that paves roads and highways. This firm benefitted from the Recovery Act’s infrastructure investments and is looking forward to taking advantage of the transportation funding allocations in the Jobs Bill. Dozens of the company’s employees were in attendance to receive a much anticipated update from Sen. Reid.

Tomorrow, we’ll mark exactly one year since the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act was signed into law. We already know that Sharron Angle, Danny Tarkanian, and Sue Lowden are going to use this occasion to once again attack the Recovery Act and do their best to gloss over, minimize or just plain ignore how it brought our economy back from the edge of a cliff, while creating and saving tens of thousands of Nevada jobs. With that in mind, we thought we’d set a few things straight.

STATE OF THE ECONOMY POST-RECOVERY ACT

While we are not yet out of the woods, the Recovery Act countered the very worst of what was the largest economic crisis since the Great Depression. It must be noted that before the Recovery Act was passed, our nation lost 741,000 jobs in January of 2009 and the economy had shrunk by 6.4% during the previous fiscal quarter. Only one year after the Recovery Act was signed into law, we lost 20,000 jobs in January 2010 and the economy grew by 5.7% in the previous quarter, the fastest it has since 2003. That’s a nearly 12% shift in positive economic growth since the Recovery Act has been in effect. While there is more work to be done on the jobs front, it’s obvious that the Recovery Act successfully stopped the bleeding.
