It comes as no surprise that family members disagree on politics but few publish widely circulated op-eds criticizing their fellow kin.

That’s exactly what happened Monday when 12 members of Nevada Republican gubernatorial nominee Adam Laxalt’s family took to the pages of the Reno Gazette-Journal to advocate against voting for their own family member.

“The decision to write this column has not been an easy one for us,” the family members wrote. “We are writing as members of the Laxalt family who have spent our lives in Nevada, and feel compelled to protect our family name from being leveraged and exploited by Adam Laxalt, the Republican candidate for governor.”

They write that Laxalt misrepresents his background and his history in the state to Nevada’s voters.

“The simple fact is that while he may have been born in Reno, he left as an infant and was raised on the East Coast, 3,000 miles away, in Washington, D.C., and moved here only in 2013, only one year later launching his political career,” the op-ed reads. “Aside from the occasional short visit, Adam never knew the state or its people. Perhaps if he had, he would stand for Nevada's values rather than for those of his out-of-state donors.”

1. That is funny, moving out of state as an infant. Claiming to know the people of the state.

I really do just get blown away at the blatant lying. Family went after an Az Republican too.
