Democratic governors group goes up against Laxalt
Attorney General Adam Laxalt isn't formally in the governor's race yet, but the Democratic Governor's Association isn't waiting for the announcement.
The group is launching digital video ads on Twitter, Facebook and YouTube starting Wednesday pounding Laxalt for not taking a position on the GOP's health care efforts in DC. "Tell Adam Laxalt to end his silence," the ad says, alongside a picture of the attorney general, not coincidentally I'd bet, wearing a Ted Cruz for president button.
Laxalt, of course, has not announced yet partly so he doesn't have to engage in such public policy debates. The Nevada Democratic Party already tried on Friday ("Where's Adam Laxalt?" was the release headline) to get him to take a stance on the bill.
The spot is part of a multi-state campaign by the DGA, focused on Medicaid expansion states, to push GOP candidates to take a position.
I doubt it works with Laxalt.
