Unemployment Rate Remains Above 9%, Kate Marshall Brags About Failed Record

As Kate Marshall continues to take ownership of Nevada’s economy, the nation’s unemployment rate remained above 9% for the month of July. During Kate Marshall’s tenure, Nevada’s unemployment rate has tripled while the home foreclosure rate remains the highest in the nation. In Kate Marshall’s own words:

“I have taken the state through this fiscal crisis, steered it with a steady hand…I would like to take the experience here in Nevada and bring that to congress.” (KSNV’s “Face to Face,” 7/20/2011)

“‘It’s one thing to say the economy is the number one thing,’ says Marshall. ‘It’s another thing to have to steward the state through a financial crisis when there’re not a lot of money.’“ (Adam Rasmussen, “Democrats Kick Off Campaign,” KTVN Channel 2 News, 7/9/2011)

NRCC Comment:

“As a self-proclaimed ‘steward’ of the Nevada economy, Kate Marshall has overseen record-breaking unemployment and home foreclosures. With no economic recovery in sight, Nevada voters will reject Kate Marshall’s claims that she steered Nevada’s economy with a steady hand.” – Tyler Q. Houlton, NRCC Spokesman
