Nevada political leaders are reacting to the news that former senate majority leader Harry Reid is battling pancreatic cancer. Congressman Mark Amodei says he wishes Reid a speedy recovery, adding, “This will be a tough fight – but I’m certain he’s up for the challenge. My thoughts are with him and his family.” Senator Catherine Cortez Masto says “Senator Reid is no stranger to a fight. He beat his opponents in the boxing ring, took on the mob in Nevada, and moved bills in the Senate that no one believed could be done. He’ll beat cancer too. I wish him a speedy and successful recovery.” Senator Dean Heller also issued a statement wishing him a speedy recovery. Sen. John McCain, who has been undergoing treatment for brain cancer, tweeted a statement wishing Reid well “from one cantankerous senator to another.”
