Republican Recruiting in Nevada: Still Sad!
More than 50 days ago, former Representative Cresent Hardy decided to jump into the race for Nevada’s Fourth Congressional District in an attempt to win back his old seat. In that time Cresent Hardy has:
- Filed to run with a listed website – www.cresenthardyforcongress.com – that is a German-language Austrian fan page (seriously)
- Has not given an on-the-record interview
- Has not held a public event
- Has no campaign Facebook or Twitter
- Hasn’t adequately answered questions about using campaign funds from his 2016 run on travel and hotel expenses in 2017 when he was loudly proclaiming that he would not be running
The only thing Hardy has done is hobnob with his old Washington, DC friends.
DCCC spokesperson Drew Godinich issued the following statement:
“While Cresent Hardy’s ill-fated decision to run for Congress again may have sounded better in the original German, we can’t fault him from hiding from voters and the press. Voters rejected his radical right-wing agenda of slashing Social Security and Medicare in 2016, and they’ll do it again this year.”
