And it’s downright ugly. Monique Laxalt — a cousin of Adam Laxalt, the Nevada Current reported — said in a video for the Sisolak campaign that Adam Laxalt used the “family name” to get ahead politically and has no “true connection” to the state. “We believe that he came from Washington, where he grew up, to Nevada for the sole purpose of using the family name to pursue a political career which would allow him to eventually return to Washington as one of Washington’s most elite,” Monique Laxalt said of Adam Laxalt. “We do not believe he came to Nevada based on any true connection to or interest in this state.” “He has pursued the extreme positions of the ultra-rich donors who are now sponsoring his candidacy who have little or no concern for the well-being of the hardworking people of this great state.” She added that Adam Laxalt has shown “disdain for our beloved state and its people.” Monique Laxalt added in the clip that she speaks for herself, her sister Dr. Kristen Laxalt, “as well as several other members of the Laxalt family” in “opposition to Adam Laxalt’s candidacy for governor of Nevada” and noted that “we strongly endorse the candidacy of Steve Sisolak for governor.” Adam Laxalt’s campaign hit back hard Tuesday. “The Laxalts are a large family — some are life-long liberals, Democrat donors, and operatives,” Laxalt spokesman Parker Briden said in a statement to TheBlaze. Adam Laxalt, 40, has faced opposition from his family members before. When he was running for attorney general, Laxalt’s kin — once again Kevin Marie Laxalt, along with Dr. Kristin Laxalt (a family doctor in Reno), Neena Laxalt, Kevan D. Laxalt, Meggan Laxalt Mackey, Michelle Laxalt, and Peter Laxalt — penned a 2014 letter to the editor for the Nevada Sun backing his then-opponent, Ross Miller. Adam has also been accused of rape in 1996, and he was arrested for assaulting a police officer that same year, he was a heavy drinker in high school.
Isn't this the second GOP dude who's having his own family campaign for his opponent?
Operatives huh? That's the word you chose? Really?
I'll be waiting to vote for Sisolak by the time Nov. comes Although, Laxalt is probably going to win anyways because of the name alone
