NV-AD02: Speaker Yeager's PAC spends $80K on attack ads of Republican legislator

A political action committee tied to Nevada Speaker Steve Yeager gave $80,000 this fundraising quarter to another PAC that has been running attack ads against Republican Assemblywoman Heidi Kasama, a legislator in a historically red district that Democrats say they hope to flip.

The Nevada Strong PAC sent $40,000 in August and another $40,000 in October to the political organization Ending Carson City Corruption, according to the PAC’s latest campaign contribution and expense report.

Ending Carson City Corruption has run a series of advertisements through a variety of media — from text messages to Facebook — against Kasama, who is facing Democratic candidate Ron Nelsen in Assembly District 2, which covers parts of Summerlin and Summerlin South.

Kasama filed to run for Congress against Rep. Susie Lee but decided to seek re-election in the Legislature to help Republican Gov. Joe Lombardo’s fight against a potential Democratic supermajority.
