Ad in NV-04 Hits Hardy for Fighting to Cut Social Security and Medicare
Ad in NV-03 Reminds Voters of History of Tarkanian Scandals
Today, the DCCC announced two new ads in Nevada, targeting Cresent Hardy (NV-04) and Danny Tarkanian (NV-03). The first, BIRTHDAY, takes Cresent Hardy to task for wanting to raise the retirement age for Social Security to 75 and cut Medicare. The second, DIRTY WORK, reminds Nevadans of Danny Tarkanian’s history of scandal – including using his own family’s charity as a personal piggy bank. DCCC spokesperson Drew Godinich released the following statement:
“Cresent Hardy wants to raise the retirement age to 75 and cut Social Security and Medicare – harming our seniors. And Danny Tarkanian used a children’s charity to pay himself a six-figure salary and took forty thousand dollars to pay off his mortgage. Nevadans can’t afford to have Cresent Hardy and Danny Tarkanian in Congress.”
“Every birthday that passes brings you one year closer to the retirement you’ve been dreaming of. But then he comes along. Cresent Hardy. Cresent Hardy said he’d raise the retirement age to 75. That’s right, no social security till 75. And when he was in Congress Hardy threatened to shut down the government unless there were deep cuts to Social Security and Medicare. Cresent Hardy. He’s never been for us.”
“Frank Abagnale was a scam artist who traveled the world, conning his victims out of millions. But Danny Tarkanian did his dirty work right here in Nevada. Tarkanian set up a children’s basketball charity. Ran up deficits by paying himself six-figure salaries. And secretly took 40 grand from the charity’s bank account to pay off his mortgage and avoid foreclosure. Danny Tarkanian. Another con man who can’t hide the truth.”
