ICYMI: Republicans go after Marshall for overseeing Nevada credit downgrade

Nevada treasurer Kate Marshall is now on the defensive for misleading voters about maintaining Nevada’s “excellent” credit rating even though Nevada experienced a credit downgrade from Standard & Poor’s and Moody’s under her watch. Marshall has continued to take credit for Nevada’s struggling economy, asserting that she has “taken the state through this fiscal crisis, steered it with a steady hand.”

Please consider the following comment from the NRCC as you cover Kate Marshall’s failed economic stewardship and see the full article below. Thanks.

“Kate Marshall fell short in her attempt to mislead Nevada voters on her failed leadership as the state’s top financial officer. Nevada voters will reject Kate Marshall’s record that has been characterized by a $50 million Wall Street gamble, a credit downgrade, and sky high unemployment and home foreclosure rates.” – Tyler Q. Houlton, NRCC Spokesman
