Corrupt politician Adam Laxalt continues to embrace Rick Perry – who tried to reopen Yucca Mountain and secretly shipped a half metric ton of radioactive material to Nevada – even as Senator Catherine Cortez Masto and the state of Nevada work to shut down Yucca once and for all. Just last week, Cortez Masto  announced that she had successfully removed the plutonium that Perry had dumped in her state.

Laxalt’s top ally led efforts to make Nevada a nuclear dumping ground during the Trump administration, endangering the lives of countless Nevada families, and betraying the state’s trust by secretly shipping the plutonium and fighting to open Yucca. 

Statement from Nevada Democratic Victory Spokesperson Olivia Davis: 

“Laxalt’s ally put the health and safety of Nevadans in danger, but he still campaigned with him. Meanwhile, Senator Cortez Masto stood up to politicians like Perry and won, a major contrast from her opponent.”
