Republican U.S. Senate candidate Danny Tarkanian – a community activist with a history of working with at-risk African-Americans in Las Vegas – called on Senator Harry Reid to apologize on the Senate floor for comparing his health care opponents to defenders of slavery.
“Harry Reid’s comments comparing opponents of his health reforms to defenders of slavery are a disgrace to the institution of the Senate and an embarrassment to Nevada. If there is any dignity left in this man, he will apologize on the Senate Floor,” said Tarkanian.
Danny Tarkanian has been personally active in Las Vegas’ African-American community through the Tarkanian Basketball Academy which teaches young Las Vegans – many of whom are African-American – life lessons through sports.

Danny Tarkanian is the leading candidate in the U.S. Senate race fighting the health care reforms of Harry Reid. He has held a public health care forum on health care, been the leader in a national health care reform movement started on Hugh Hewitt’s radio show, and formed a ballot initiative committee to allow Nevadans to vote whether to opt in to the “public option” on health care.
