A dozen family members come out against GOP nominee for governor

By Eric Boehlert - October 23, 20180

Nevada Republican Adam Laxalt gets brutally denounced — by his own family.

Nevada Attorney General Adam Laxalt’s push to become the state’s next Republican governor suffered an awkward, personal hit this week when 12 members of his family implored voters not to support him.

“We are writing as members of the Laxalt family who have spent our lives in Nevada, and feel compelled to protect our family name from being leveraged and exploited by Adam Laxalt, the Republican candidate for governor,” the relatives wrote.

“Over the years, we’ve always supported our family, even when we haven’t always agreed with them or their politics,” they stressed. “But as this Election Day nears, we feel compelled to speak publicly about why we believe that Adam Laxalt is the wrong choice for Nevada’s governorship.”

One of their biggest beefs with the Republican nominee is his hollow claim that he was born and raised in Nevada.

“For those of us who were actually raised in Nevada, it’s difficult to hear him continue to falsely claim that he was raised in Nevada or has any true connections to Nevadans,” the Laxalt family wrote.
