In A Shocking Endorsement Family of Republican Candidate Endorses His Democratic Opponent



In A Shocking Endorsement Family of Republican Candidate Endorses His Democratic Opponent

In a letter to The Las Vegas Sun, the family of the Republican Attorney General candidate Adam Laxalt endorsed his Democratic opponent.

The family’s letter delivered a powerful endorsement against their own relative,

Therefore, we collectively speak up to support Ross Miller as the most qualified candidate to be our state’s attorney general.

It is our belief that Ross Miller’s documented history of pulling himself up by his own bootstraps and establishing a well-respected career in law and public service while still maintaining a strong sense of family and community constitute the critical characteristics needed for Nevada’s highest legal office.

We ask that our fellow Nevadans follow our lead by speaking up with their own votes during this election season.

Know that our message does not originate from a Republican, Democratic or even family affiliation. It has to do with the most basic question all voters must ask themselves when they step into the voting booth, “Who really is the best qualified candidate for attorney general for the state of Nevada?”

The letter might be the most devastating political endorsement of a candidate ever because of the closing line, which implies that Adam Lexalt is not the most qualified candidate for attorney general.

Lexalt is the fairly recently discovered illegitimate son of former Republican Sen. Pete Domenici, who is trying to leverage his family ties into a political career.
