New ads hit the airwaves this week, and they take direct aim at how Nevada's Democrats vote on your money.
Starting today, the American Action Network is rolling out a six-figure ad campaign targeting Congresswomen Susie Lee and Dina Titus.
The group says both lawmakers voted to raise taxes on Nevada families and seniors, and then used that money to fund policies conservatives call extreme.
What The Ads Say
Both 30-second spots run on the exact same script, aimed at Titus and Lee alike. Each one opens with a simple line telling viewers it's their money, and the pair of congresswomen “always wants more.”
From there, the ad accuses them of voting for higher taxes to fund what it calls “liberal nonsense,” specifically naming taxpayer-funded sex changes for kids and open borders.
The script goes on to claim they wanted to tax tips, overtime, and even Social Security benefits, letting “extremists get their way” while everyday Nevadans foot the bill.
Each version closes with the same direct appeal, urging viewers to tell them to:
“stop this nonsense and stop wasting our money.”
AAN spokeswoman Lydia Hall didn't hold back. She said:
“Dina Titus and Susie Lee want Nevadans' taxpayer dollars to be used for extreme policies like sex changes for kids.
American Action Network will make sure the record is set straight: Dina Titus and Susie Lee want to raise taxes on Nevadans to pay for their extreme agenda.”
This isn't a small effort. Axios reports the campaign totals $22 million and covers 41 congressional districts nationwide, with the ads specifically touting “no tax on tips or on Social Security” as the contrast point.
Nevada's NV-01 and NV-03 are both on that target list.
AAN President Chris Winkelman framed the strategy behind the whole campaign this way:
“Conservatives put working families first by delivering historic tax relief. Meanwhile, far-left lawmakers are obsessed with radical ideas—like raising your taxes and making you pay for sex-change surgeries for kids.
AAN is going to keep calling out these policies for what they are: bad for your wallet and wrong for American families.”
This $22 million sits on top of $40 million AAN has already spent promoting the Republican tax package this cycle, bringing the group's total spend to $62 million, the most it has ever put into a single Congress.
The nationwide blitz runs through Sept. 3, with a mix of TV, radio, digital, and mail advertising.
This isn't AAN's first time targeting these two. The group ran ads against Titus back in 2022 over energy policy, and went after Lee just last October over her rhetoric and votes against law enforcement funding.
Add it up, and this is the third straight cycle AAN has spent real money trying to define both congresswomen to Nevada voters, just on a different issue each time.
Why This Matters To Conservatives
Think about your own grocery bill or your power bill. Every dollar the government takes in taxes is a dollar you don't get to spend on your own family.
That's the heart of limited government thinking. Government should take less, not more, and it should spend what it does take carefully.
For conservatives, this ad campaign isn't just about politics. It's about a basic question:
Should Washington keep growing its reach into your paycheck to fund programs many voters never asked for?
AAN is betting that Nevada voters, especially seniors on fixed incomes, will say no.
Seniors matter a lot in this conversation. Many live on Social Security and modest savings. Tax hikes hit them harder because their income doesn't grow the way a paycheck might.
When conservatives talk about protecting seniors, this is exactly the kind of issue they mean.
What You Can Do
If this issue matters to you, now is the time to pay attention. Watch for the ads. Ask your own questions about how your representative has voted on taxes and spending.
Most importantly, stay engaged through November. Ads only matter if voters show up.
