Press Release

Today, in Reno, former Nevada Attorney General and U.S. Senate candidate Catherine Cortez Masto joined members of Nevada law enforcement to highlight her record as Attorney General of working across the aisle to solve problems for Nevadans. Cortez Masto was joined by Ron Dreher, member of the Peace Officers Research Association of Nevada (PORAN) and retired Officer and Detective for the Reno Police Department, Mike Ramirez, Director at the Las Vegas Police Protective Association (LVPPA) and former Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department Officer, and Todd Vinger, veteran and former Washoe County Undersheriff.

"I was honored to work with Nevada law enforcement to protect Nevadans from predators; and I'm proud to have their support in my campaign for Senate," said Cortez Masto. "Despite what those in Washington would have you believe, here in Nevada, Republicans and Democrats can and do actually work together to get things done. I'm proud to have the support of Nevada law enforcement and I look forward to continuing to work with them as Nevada's next Senator to solve problems and protect our communities."

"Nevada law enforcement could not have a stronger partner as Attorney General or in the Senate than Catherine Cortez Masto," said Ron Dreher. "Whether it was violent criminals, scam artists, or human traffickers, Catherine has never been afraid of taking on the tough fights. She was able to do this because she looked beyond political labels and brought Republicans and Democrats together to solve the problems facing Nevadans -- that's what we need more of in Washington."

"During her 8 years as Attorney General -- we saw that Catherine has what it takes to break the partisan divide in Washington," said Mike Ramirez. "Catherine knows the concerns facing Nevadans today and will focus on solving problems and keep our communities safe. That's why Nevada law enforcement is supporting her to be our next Senator."

"As Attorney General, Catherine Cortez Masto worked with Nevada law enforcement to keep our communities safe," said Todd Vinger. "Whether it was giving us the tools we needed to crack down on meth labs, or passing new laws to go after human traffickers, Catherine has always worked hand in hand with law enforcement to take on the tough fights and protect Nevadans. That is why we need Catherine Cortez Masto in the Senate -- because she knows Nevada values and will fight and stand up for us in Washington."

In March, Cortez Masto was endorsed by the Nevada Association of Public Safety Officers (NAPSO), the Fraternal Order of Police (FOP), the Peace Officers Research of Nevada (PORAN), the Washoe County Sheriff Deputies Association, and the Southern Nevada Conference of Police and Sheriffs (SNCOPS) in her campaign for Senate. SNCOPS consists of: the Henderson Police Supervisors Association (HPSA), the Las Vegas Peace Officers Association (LVPOA), the Las Vegas Police Protective Association (LVPPA), and the Las Vegas Police Managers and Supervisors Association (LVPMSA). This was the first time in Nevada history the organizations came together with one unanimous endorsement.
