After perennial candidate Danny Tarkanian announced he would challenge Senator Dean Heller in a Republican primary, DNC spokesperson Vedant Patel released the following statement:

“Nevada Republicans are quite literally lost in the desert. Their potential candidates for the United States Senate include incumbent Dean Heller with a 22% job approval rating, who has a history of flip flopping on some of the most crucial issues affecting Nevadans and the problematic candidate Danny Tarkanian, who has been rejected by Nevadans in five previous elections and wasted millions of dollars in the process. As Republicans in Nevada fight to find their standard bearer, Democrats will continue fighting for affordable and quality health care, good paying jobs and expanding opportunities for working families in Nevada and all across the country.”
