From the Las Vegas Sun:
The groups, which include the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees, have targeted two vulnerable Republican incumbents, state Sen. Bob Beers in Summerlin’s Senate District 6 and state Sen. Joe Heck in Henderson’s Senate District 5.
Republican-leaning groups have responded with their own tough mail pieces, including one attacking Beers’ opponent, Allison Copening, that features the visage of a red-eyed rat.
A Democratic victory in either district would give the party control of the Senate, where Republicans currently hold an 11-10 majority. Democrats control the Assembly.
The latest developments draw into sharp relief the stakes in the intense fight for the Senate.
