The National Rifle Association dropped $1 million on a new advertisement hitting Nevada Senate Democratic candidate Catherine Cortez Masto as being a repeat of Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid.
The ad highlights Reid's leadership in the Senate when he was majority leader and his votes for gun control and for judges who the ad called "anti-gun" and then says Reid is trying to force Nevada to elect Cortez Masto, the Las Vegas Review-Journal reported.
"Masto doesn't sound like Harry Reid or look like Harry Reid," the narrator says. "But she'd vote like Harry Reid."
The 30-second ad is set to run from Tuesday to Monday in Las Vegas and Reno.
A RealClearPolitics average of the polls shows Cortez Masto's opponent, Republican Rep. Joe Heck, ahead by 4 points. The Rothenberg & Gonzales/Roll Call rates the race as a Tossup.
