It was after the Cortez Masto announcement that the Heck campaign received an invitation from Telemundo. The Cortez Masto campaign said, \u201cDebate negotiations will not move forward until the Heck campaign agrees to this request.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhy is the Cortez Masto campaign privileging one media outlet at the expense of all others, including all other Spanish language outlets, and most importantly, at the expense of Nevada voters? The Heck campaign is committed to holding debates that reach the widest audience possible, including Telemundo\u2019s, as well as holding a debate in rural Nevada. Given the small window of opportunity to hold the debates before early voting to ensure all Nevadans have the opportunity to hear from the candidates, we hope the Cortez Masto campaign will negotiate in good faith instead of offering non-negotiable terms to score political points. Until they are willing to negotiate, one can only assume Catherine Cortez Masto does not want to debate.\u201d said Heck spokesperson Brian Baluta. \u201cHer \u2018my way or the highway\u2019 approach to negotiating something as simple as debates, is typical of someone who throughout her career based decisions on partisan politics instead of what\u2019s right for Nevadans.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Heck campaign has proposed holding three debates in Las Vegas, Reno and Elko, including a debate hosted by the Nevada Broadcasters Association, which would be available to all Spanish-language media outlets in the Nevada, including Telemundo.<\/p>\n<p>KREN Entravision Communications TV 46<br \/>\nOREN UniMas 27.3<br \/>\nMREN LATV 27.4<br \/>\nKRNS Entravision Communications TV 27<br \/>\nKINC Entravision Holdings TV 15<br \/>\nKELV Entravision Holdings TV 27<br \/>\nKHDF Azteca America TV 19<br \/>\nKBLR Telemundo Las Vegas TV 39<br \/>\nKMCC Mundo Max TV34<br \/>\nKRNV Entravision Holdings, Inc. 101.7 FM<br \/>\nKQRT Entravision Holdings 105.1FM<br \/>\nKLSQ Univision Radio 870AM<br \/>\nKRGT Univision Radio 99.3FM<br \/>\nKHIT Lotus Radio 1450 AM<br \/>\nKISF Univision Radio 103.5FM<br \/>\nKSRN Lazer Broadcasting 107.7 FM<br \/>\nKENO Lotus 1460 AM<br \/>\nKWID Lotus 101.9FM<br \/>\nKRRN Entravision 92.7FM<\/p>\n<p>Previous debate offers:<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Dr. Joe Heck is a member of the U.S. Army Reserve.
