This is beyond the gutter for Nevada state and local Democrats.  They have nothing to say about Dr. Joe Heck, so they just make it up with full knowledge that their hideous tactics can be carried out with zero consequences.  Nevada Democrats don’t want experienced, principled, selfless leadership like Joe Heck in the state senate.  They want flunkies and rubber stamps like their candidates – who they’re too ashamed of to show!  Nice leadership and vision Nevada Dems, nice.  If Demorats get control of the state senate in Nevada, can you imagine what bills will spew forth with them in control?  From the Las Vegas Sun:

Nevada Democrats have spent tens of thousands of dollars on a series of attack mail pieces aimed at state Sen. Joe Heck, intensifying a battle to control the upper chamber of the Legislature currently held by Republicans.

The ads are tough — and misleading, with a series of images depicting suffering cancer patients. The glossy mailings say Heck, a physician, voted against requiring insurance companies to include cervical cancer screenings in their basic coverage, even as he accepted campaign donations from insurance companies.

“Dr. Joe Heck took money from insurance lobbyists and voted ‘no’ to cervical cancer screenings,” one ad said.

That statement, and at least one other in the mailings, appears to be incorrect. Insurance companies have been required by the state to cover screenings for cervical cancer since 1989, according to the Legislative Counsel Bureau, the research arm of the Legislature. The ads don’t have citations, but seem to refer to legislation from 2007, though the bill had nothing to do with cervical cancer screening. The 2007 Legislature passed a law authored by state Sen. Dina Titus requiring some insurance companies to cover Gardasil, the vaccine for the human papilloma virus, a precursor to cervical cancer.
