I’m Jacky Rosen. This is why I want Nevada’s vote for the Senate

Six years ago, like candidate for the United States SenateI promised to do what’s right for Nevada and not play the same old Washington games. I also vowed not to toe the party line – and I’m proud to say I never have.

I am considered one of the most bipartisan, independent and effective senators in the country because I have never hesitated to put aside partisanship or stand up for special interests to advance our state. I have worked with both parties to get things done and really make a difference the lives of Nevadans.

I’ve been able to help people like Edward, a Marine Corps veteran from Las Vegas who spent months breathing toxic smoke from burn pits in Afghanistan. When he got home, his skin began to itch uncontrollably – to the point of bleeding – but he struggled to get help from the VA. It is unacceptable that someone who has served our nation is treated this way.

That’s why I worked with Democrats and Republicans to pass the PACT Act, a historic expansion of healthcare benefits for veterans who suffer from toxic exposure to burn pits, Agent Orange, radiation and other chemicals while on duty. Now, veterans like Edward can get the care they need and deserve, with more than 28,000 Nevada veterans already filing claims for care.

I also stand up to giant corporations that drive up costs while raking in record profits. I stood up to big pharmaceutical companies to cap the price of insulin at $35 a month and ultimately give Medicare the power to negotiate lower costs for prescription drugs. I also take issue with the price gouging of Big Oil CEOs who raise prices at the pump, and of major supermarket chains who try to reduce competition at the expense of consumers.

We must make the American dream of homeownership more affordable for hardworking families. That’s why I’m fighting to bring down housing costs by cracking down on corporate investors who buy up housing stock and drive up costs.

I have made it clear that I will not hesitate to stand up for special interests or my own party to do what is right for Nevada and our country. I have repeatedly broken with Democrats to secure more funding for border security and to stand up for police officers.

I also voted with my party to oppose federal regulations that would harm Nevada farmers and ranchers, and I opposed the Biden administration’s proposal to implement new taxes on our state’s mining industry.

On matters of national security, I do not take a back seat to anyone in my strong support for Israel’s right to defend itself. I helped deliver much needed Iron Dome batteries Defending Israel after the Hamas attack, and I broke with the democratic leadership to hold Iran accountable for supporting terrorism. I will never hesitate to speak out against anti-Israel extremists, including those in my own party.

I have spent the past four years on the Senate Armed Services Committee working in a bipartisan manner to strengthen our national security and military and deliver results for Nevada’s numerous defense installations.

Here is my message to Nevada voters in this crucial election: I don’t work for anyone in Washington – I work for you. My opponent Sam Brown is a far-right politician who cannot say the same. While I am focused on working together to achieve real results, he is focused on imposing an extremely partisan agenda that would hurt hardworking families.

Sam Brown has repeatedly supported the ban on abortion over the past decade, even in cases of rape or incest. He would repeal our new law that capped insulin costs and allowed Medicare to negotiate drug prices—calling it a “major loss for the American people.” He also called for raising interest rates even higher for hardworking families — and embraced a radical plan that would eliminate Social Security and Medicare in just five years.

Brown also opposed the strictest border security legislation in decades — before the bill text was even released — because he would rather use immigration as a political football than support a solution. There is a crisis at our southern border, and I have fought for common sense, bipartisan reforms to secure the border, crack down on fentanyl, solve our problems. broken immigration system and keeping our communities safe. My opponent prefers to play political games.

Every day I strive to embody Nevada’s unbreakable spirit of independence, forged by my own experience after nearly 50 years of living, working and raising a family here. To continue making progress for hardworking families, we need leaders who are willing to put politics aside and do what’s right for our state. If re-elected, that is exactly what I promise to continue doing in the Senate.
