Democratic Nevada congressional candidate Erin Bilbray is facing backlash for using the term “un-American” to describe activities of her Republican opponent Rep. Joe Heck, an Iraq War veteran.No word yet on whether the Democrats want to bring back the House Un-American Activities Committee.
Erin Bilbray is the daughter of former Nevada Rep. James Bilbray, who lost his blue seat in the 1994 Republican Revolution. She is attempting to make women’s issues a paramount wedge in her race against Heck.
Before running for Congress, Bilbray worked for various nonprofits, founding three of them, and sat on various boards and volunteered for various foundations. This race is her first taste of politics, and she made the “un-American” comment this week on the Nevada television program “Ralston Reports.”
