Harry Reid Hangs It Up

Senator Harry Reid (D-NV) is calling it quits. After spending nearly 30 years in the Senate, he has decided to retire at the end of this term.

We believe Reid’s retirement makes the 2016 Senate race in Nevada even more important for conservatives.

The Democrats will now try to replace Reid with someone younger who could hold the seat and support liberal policies for many years to come.

According to a story published by National Journal, “One of the early favorites is shaping up to be former state Attorney General Catherine Cortez Masto, a rising star in the [Democrat] party, who has maintained close ties to Reid.”

And of course, the Republican establishment in Washington will try to recruit another moderate who won’t rock the boat when Senator Mitch McConnell (R-KY) wants to cut more deals with the Democrats.

There is a lot at stake in Nevada, which is why we’re already talking with prospective candidates and looking for a strong conservative to support.

SCF has never endorsed a candidate in the Republican primary in Nevada, but we hope to change that. Our goal is to find a leader who is a principled conservative, has strong grassroots support, and can put together a winning campaign.

We want to find someone who will lead a conservative resurgence in Nevada and fight for freedom on behalf of all Americans.

Your continued support for SCF will help us identify and recruit a strong candidate who won’t just flip this seat from Democrat to Republican, but who will truly fight for the principles of freedom that make America great.
