NEVADA - JOE HECK MUST GAIN OUR SUPPORT TO BE OUR U.S. SENATOR

Heck of a Week: April 29
Reno had a transformative week. Las Vegas had a record-setting week. This is Heck of a Week.
 
In The News

The House this week unanimously passed the Email Privacy Act, H.R. 699, by a vote of 419-0. Dr. Heck is a cosponsor of the legislation and a strong supporter of the bill, adding that "it's time to bring our nations privacy laws into the 21st Century." Should the legislation pass in the Senate, the new law would update the 1986 Electronic Communications Privacy Act. Under the Email Privacy Act, agencies such as the Securities and Exchange Commission and the FBI would be required to obtain a warrant to access digital communication older than six months. 


On Tuesday, our opponent, and Senator Harry Reid’s handpicked candidate, Catherine Cortez Masto, continued to blindly support the Obama administration’s nuclear deal with Iran, telling KSNV’s Jeff Gillan the agreement, which grants the world’s largest state sponsor of terror access to billions of dollars, is sound policy. “Not only do we prevent them from having nuclear weapons for the foreseeable future, we are blanketing their country with inspectors,” said Cortez Masto. Dr. Joe Heck, an Iraq veteran, brigadier general in the Army Reserve, and a member of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, couldn’t disagree more. “Despite the claims of the administration and my opponent, this agreement in not built on verification, it is built on trust. It requires us to trust the largest exporter of terrorism in the world, a regime that built IEDs to kill and maim our troops in Iraq, whose Supreme leader said that Israel will not exist in 25 years, and recently test-fired two ballistic missiles with the phrase ‘Israel must be wiped out’ written in Hebrew on them,” said Heck.



As if Cortez Masto's comments on the Iran deal weren't bad enough, she also doubled down on her support for President Obama's health care law by calling it "good law." This happened in the same week that the Associated Press reported that many Americans can expect to see their health insurance premiums go up. The unfortunate news was no surprise to Dr. Heck, who is a physician and has worked extensively on the issue of health care reform. He had this to say in response: “Premium increases on top of exorbitant deductibles make the ‘Affordable Care Act’ anything but affordable. By defending the status quo and offering no solutions, my opponent Ms. Cortez Masto puts Washington ahead of Nevadans and their doctors.”
