2016

The race for Nevada's open U.S. Senate seat was one of Ballotpedia's nine competitive battleground races in 2016. Former Nevada Attorney General Catherine Cortez Masto (D) defeated U.S. Rep. Joe Heck (R), a doctor and brigadier general in the Army Reserve who served in Iraq, and four third-party candidates in the general election to win retiring Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid’s (D) seat. Her victory on November 8, 2016, made her the first-ever Latina elected to the United States Senate.[1][2][3]

Reid’s seat was the Republican Party’s only chance to pick up a Senate seat this cycle. Cortez Masto’s biggest ally was Reid, who used his get out the vote resources to make sure his seat stayed under Democratic control. Reid and outside groups heavily influenced the race and were partially responsible for the negative tone and numerous attack ads. According to USA Today, “The race was anything but cordial. Outside money flooded the state bringing the total spending to nearly $100 million. All that cash washed away nearly any real policy discussion, as attacks flew claiming Cortez Masto was incompetent and corrupt while Heck was a stooge for the billionaire Koch Brothers.”[4]

In her victory speech, Cortez Masto commented on her status as the first Latina elected to the Senate, saying, "It's not just about making history. Don't you think it is about time that we had diversity in the U.S. Senate? Don't you think it's about time that our government mirrors the people we serve every day?"[5]

2016

The following issues were listed on Angle's campaign website. For a full list of campaign themes, click here.

  • Social Security: As your Senator, I would make Social Security the intended lifetime investment that must be an inflation-protected, personalized investment, annuity retirement that enables workers to bequeath their savings while offering them protection from the loads, commissions, and fees of Wall Street and insurance companies who will otherwise take advantage of a huge investment pool.
  • Energy: America’s common sense solution to overcome the energy challenges would keep prices low by using domestic fossil fuels as a bridge to energy independence in combination with developing alternatives that are competitive and allowing our industries to create possibilities when, as a Senator, I introduce legislation to get government out of their way.
  • Tax Reform: As your Senator I will introduce legislation to cut lost productivity and costs associated with tax code compliance from simplifying the codes and regulations, cutting the cooperate tax rate, to repealing the Sixteenth Amendment.
  • Limited Government: Limiting government growth will require the radical reformation of Social Security, Medicare, and our nation’s healthcare system by first repealing Obamacare just as I have proposed here in Nevada.
  • Economy: Our economy is based on the bedrock of freedom: individual liberty, free enterprise, and sound money. Government does not grow the economy. We, the people, do!
