Sue Lowden response regarding Harry Reid’s decision to stay in Senate race after racially insensitive comments VIDEO

(Las Vegas, NV) – Today, Nevada businesswoman and former State Senator Sue Lowden issued the following statement after a spokesman for Harry Reid stated that the Senator is certain to stay in the race for re-election. The Reid spokesperson was quoted as saying, “These are difficult times for Nevada and as majority leader he is in a position to help Nevada address those challenges, as we have already seen.”

Lowden’s statement:

“Nevadans do not need any more of Harry Reid’s ‘help’ during these difficult times. Harry Reid uses his power for himself and his Washington liberal interests. Radical, left-wing interest groups have overlooked Reid’s pattern of insensitive remarks because they need him to do their bidding, rather than serve the interest of Nevadans.

“His ‘help’ for Nevada has bankrupted our state and made a bad recession worse. Harry Reid is raising our taxes during the worst recession we’ve faced in a generation. He is saddling our nation with trillions of dollars of debt. He is using the tax dollars of hardworking Nevadans to bribe fellow senators on unpopular, unaffordable legislation in the Senate.

“Harry Reid is running as the most powerful politician Nevada has ever had, yet under his failed leadership, Nevadans face the highest home foreclosure rate in the country. We face the second-highest unemployment rate in the nation. We continue to face record business and personal bankruptcies in Nevada. And now, Reid is trying to strip us of our private health care decisions and hand them over to Washington bureaucrats.

“Harry Reid has spent the last year helping bail out financial institutions, big insurance companies, and sitting on his hands while the President was steering convention business away from Las Vegas. What has he really done for Nevada aside from making matters worse? Nothing.

“Voters tell me everyday that they have had enough and that they can no longer afford more ‘help’ from Senator Reid. Not only do I agree with them, but I will ensure that when I’m in Washington, ‘help’ means always putting Nevada first.”

Sue Lowden appeared this morning on Fox News Channel to discuss the campaign, Harry Reid’s recent comments on President Obama’s race, as well as the current state of Nevada’s economy under Senator Reid’s failed leadership.
