NEVADA - SUPPORT DR JOE HECK AS HE RUNS FOR THE U.S. SENATE

Heck of a Week: April 22

Harriet Tubman had a worthy week. UNLV had a hopeful week. This is Heck of a Week.

Dr. Joe Heck, as chairman the Military Personnel Subcommittee of the House Armed Services Committee, is working to ensure that monthly payments for military widows and widowers is included in the annual defense authorization bill. Without the fix, more than 65,000 military survivors stand to lose thousands of dollars in benefits earned by their spouses through military service. “We're very close, it has to be done,” Joe told reporters Wednesday.

Speaking of which, Jon Ralston contributed a column to Politico this week confirming what we already knew. Titled “Harry Reid’s Last Power Play”, Ralston pointed out “The titan of Nevada politics has a big finale in mind: Swing his entire state back to the D column.” And he underscored, “Reid will not be on the ballot in 2016, but he looms as large as ever over this election. Reid named the woman he wanted to succeed him the day he announced his retirement...”
