We will always fight for our families.&#8221; Segerblom, who served as a state legislator for more than a decade before joining the commission, is an unabashed socialist.

But the move could threaten the incumbent senator&#8217;s &#8220;moderate&#8221; persona, which Cortez Masto has used to appeal to <a href=\"https:\/\/freebeacon.com\/democrats\/a-top-hispanic-media-group-was-set-to-honor-catherine-cortez-masto-with-a-coveted-award-she-didnt-even-show-up\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">disgruntled Latinos<\/a> and independents in her tight reelection bid against Republican challenger Adam Laxalt. Cortez Masto&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/catherinecortezmasto.com\/issues\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">campaign site<\/a>, for example, refers to the Democrat as a &#8220;reasonable, moderate&#8221; lawmaker who &#8220;works with Democrats, Republicans, and independents to strengthen our economy.&#8221; But beyond her association with Nevada&#8217;s left flank, Cortez Masto votes with President Joe Biden <a href=\"https:\/\/projects.fivethirtyeight.com\/biden-congress-votes\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">93 percent of the time<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Cortez Masto, whose campaign did not return a request for comment, has a long history with Segerblom.
