SEIU FAIL: SEIU Attacks 'Former' Nevada Congressman for 2016 Election Cycle.

By Rob Janicki

The Service Employees International Union is targeting Republican Senators up for reelection in 2016 and also Republican congressmen in nine states with large Latino voter populations.  The strategy would seem straight forward for a labor union seeking to influence the electoral outcome with support for candidates favorable to their union goals and objectives. 

But here's the one hitch in the SEIU get along.  They chose to attack 'former' congressman Steve Horsford, a one term black congressman from the 4th Congressional District in Nevada, who was defeated, in the November 4, 2014, general election, by Republican Crescent Hardy.  Did you catch that little fact?  Horsford lost to a Republican, since he was an incumbent Democrat running for reelection.

The SEIU is attacking someone who is not currently a member of Congress and is a Democrat, which one would suspect would be very friendly to union concerns.  This raises the question of the SEIU's core competency in identifying political targets to challenge.  Then again, many union administrations have been known to be less than stellar in activities requiring higher levels of cognition.

Here's an SEIU publication attacking Horsford on immigration.  

If Horsford has any intentions of mounting a 2016 election campaign to regain his lost seat in the Nevada 4th CD, he's going to have more than a Republican to face off against, starting with the SEIU.

The SEIU, in keeping with their international communist underpinning's, supports amnesty for illegal immigrants in their quest to unionize these immigrants.
