Dem Senate Candidate Profits From Big Oil, Despite Making 'Renewable Energy' Focal Point of Campaign

(Updated): Rosen Opposed Trump Admin on Nuclear Power While Holding Stock in Company Seeking to Build Nuclear Reactor

Rep. Jacky Rosen, the Democrat vying to unseat Republican senator Dean Heller in Nevada, has profited from investments in petroleum and natural gas, despite heralding "renewable energy" as a cornerstone of her campaign.

Since jumping into the race, Rosen has sought to paint Heller as out of Nevada's political mainstream in hopes of flipping a seat political observers acknowledge is a must-win for Democrats to capture the Senate majority.

Rosen, a freshman member of the House of Representatives, has drawn clear distinctions between the incumbent and herself on a variety of issues including taxes, immigration, health care, and the environment. This strategy was displayed during a recent media interview where the candidate discussed her opposition to the tax cuts championed by President Donald Trump and congressional Republicans last year.

During the interview, Rosen lambasted the cuts as being too skewed in favor of corporations and "big oil."
