NRCC Launches Paid Ad Blitz Targeting Nevada Democrats Over Shutdown Threat

The National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC) is going on offense against Nevada Democrats Dina Titus, Susie Lee, and Steven Horsford, launching a new paid ad campaign blasting them for threatening to shut down the federal government.

The campaign charges that Titus, Lee, and Horsford are willing to put veterans’ healthcare, military pay, and law enforcement funding on the chopping block in order to appease the radical left.

“Out of touch Democrats Dina Titus, Susie Lee, and Steven Horsford would rather grind our government to a halt than crack down on violent criminals, secure our border, and protect Nevada communities. They will risk veterans’ care, military pay, and public safety just to appease their radical base,” said NRCC Spokesman Christian Martinez.

The ad, titled Sabotage, lays out the stakes in stark terms. It accuses Democrats of threatening to hold the government hostage in order to block President Trump’s agenda to crack down on violent criminals, dismantle MS-13 gangs, and secure the southern border.

“Democrats are threatening a government shutdown to stop President Trump’s policies,” the ad declares. “Like Trump’s crackdown on MS-13 and violent criminals.”

The spot then splices in footage of Democrat leaders openly embracing the strategy. One clip features Rep. Pramila Jayapal declaring, “Democrats can use our power.” Another clip shows Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez boasting, “It gives us a lot more free time to make trouble.”

The ad warns that Democrats want to abolish ICE, allowing “violent criminal illegal aliens roaming our streets,” while putting veterans’ healthcare, military pay, police, and Border Patrol funding in jeopardy. The message is clear: Democrats’ shutdown brinksmanship equals “crime and chaos, flooding our towns.”

For Nevada, the stakes are especially high. A shutdown would hit veterans, active-duty servicemembers, law enforcement, and families already grappling with high costs. By targeting Titus, Lee, and Horsford directly, Republicans are making clear they see the Silver State as ground zero in the fight for control of Congress.

With Nevada elections decided by razor-thin margins, the NRCC is betting that voters will remember who put their livelihoods, safety, and security at risk to appease the far left.
