Republican Nevada Senate candidate Adam Laxalt will release an advertisement Tuesday that includes a number of law enforcement officials saying Democratic Nevada Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto is dangerous for the state and that they will be supporting Laxalt in November.

The ad, titled “Dangerous,” first obtained by the Daily Caller, will run on TV statewide. The Nevada Fraternal Order of Police, the Las Vegas Peace Officers Association and nine other major Nevada law enforcement organizations endorsed Cortez Masto in 2016, but have switched their support and are now endorsing Laxalt in this year’s elections.

“Democrats’ soft-on-crime policies, pro-victim ideology, and anti-police rhetoric are endangering our communities. And Nevada families and law enforcement officers know it. That is why 95% of law enforcement groups are supporting me against our liberal sitting Senator. They know I will stand with our brave police officers and make the tough decisions needed to clamp down on crime and keep our communities safe,” Laxalt told the Caller before releasing the ad.

The ad features Steve Grammas, Las Vegas Police Protective Association President Chuck Allen, Former Washoe County Sheriff Jason Lesher, Washoe County Deputies Association President Susan Schilling, Former Washoe County Undersheriff David Moody, Nevada Fraternal Order of Police President Myron Hamm, Las Vegas Police Protective Association Board Member John Abel, Las Vegas Police Protective Association Director of Governmental Affairs Brandon Judd, National Border Patrol Council President.

Steve Grammas: “Catherine Cortez Masto pretends to support law enforcement…”

Chuck Allen: “…but voted to rubber-stamp radical officials…” (RELATED: EXCLUSIVE: Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto Runs Away From Questions About Biden Campaigning)

Jason Lesher: “…including activists who refused to prosecute drug dealers…”

Susan Schilling: “…and supported defunding police.” (RELATED: Working Class Voters In Nevada More Concerned About Economy Than Climate Issues)

David Moody: “Cortez Masto called police racist.”

Lesher, Schilling, Allen: “And when a local officer was shot in the head during riots she encouraged, she didn’t say a word.” Steve Grammas: “We retract our endorsement…”

Myron Hamm: “We retract our endorsement…”

John Abel: “We retract our endorsement of Catherine Cortez Masto.”

Brandon Judd: “Catherine Cortez Masto is dangerous for police…”

Myron Hamm: “…and dangerous for Nevada.”

Laxalt has a slight lead over Cortez Masto in six public polls conducted during the month of September.

The Daily Caller contacted Cortez Masto about the ad and lack of support from law enforcement to which they did not immediately respond.

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.

Become a Daily Caller Patriot today.
