#NVSen: Dean Heller Ups Attack on Shelley Berkley in Henderson Chamber Address

From the Henderson Press:

Incumbent senator claims business-friendly platform in front of partisan crowd

Republican Sen. Dean Heller continued verbal jabs at Democratic Rep. Shelley Berkley in a luncheon co-sponsored by the Henderson and North Las Vegas chambers of commerce, Aug. 15.

The same day, Heller’s campaign released a new TV spot criticizing the congresswoman for “a history of
public corruption.”

Heller is in a contentious battle with Berkley for the seat he was appointed to in 2011 by Gov. Brian Sandoval, following the resignation of John Ensign in the wake of an ethics violations probe.

“Medicare and Social Security go bankrupt, if we do nothing,” Heller told a largely partisan chamber gathering at downtown Las Vegas’ Plaza Hotel. “So the question is, ‘Do you want to save it? Preserve it? Or do you want it to
go bankrupt?’
