MoveOn is Proud to Endorse Jacky Rosen for Reelection to the U.S. Senate in Nevada!
Meet Jacky Rosen
Jacky Rosen, the granddaughter of immigrants and daughter of a World War II veteran, grew up in a working-class family. She was the first in her family to graduate from college, working multiple jobs, including as a cocktail waitress at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas, to support herself. Jacky later became a computer programmer in Southern Nevada but stepped away from her career to care for her aging parents and in-laws. Before entering politics, she was a community leader in Henderson and served as president of her synagogue.
Political Career
In 2016, Jacky ran for Congress, successfully flipping a competitive Republican-held district. Two years later, in 2018, she ran for the U.S. Senate and became the only Democratic challenger that year to unseat a Republican incumbent, making her the second woman Senator in Nevada’s history. Jacky is currently the only Jewish woman serving in the Senate.
Jacky Rosen’s Senate Achievements
During her first term in the Senate, Jacky has earned recognition as one of the most bipartisan, independent, and effective Senators. She has consistently worked across party lines, passing laws to rebuild Nevada’s infrastructure and protect veterans exposed to toxic burn pits. Jacky has supported increased funding for border security and law enforcement, and has worked to expand technical training programs and apprenticeships for Nevadans seeking good-paying jobs.
Jacky Rosen’s Track Record
Jacky is running for re-election to continue her fight for Nevada families. She has taken on powerful special interests to lower costs for essential goods and services, including capping the cost of insulin at $35 per month and enabling Medicare to negotiate lower drug prices. Jacky is also addressing Nevada’s housing crisis, pushing for more affordable housing, and tackling price gouging by major corporations. Her priorities include addressing the state’s doctor and nursing shortage, protecting reproductive rights, supporting veterans, and advocating for comprehensive immigration reform. Jacky remains committed to standing up for hardworking Nevadans and delivering results that improve their lives.
