Rep. Mike Levin and challenger Brian Maryott spar on federal spending, gas prices and other issues
At a candidate forum for the 49th District election Tuesday evening, Rep. Mike Levin described his opponent as a far-right Republican bent on slashing federal services. Challenger Brian Maryott portrayed the incumbent as an out-of-touch progressive with few tangible accomplishments.
“Unfortunately, accountability is missing in government and the results are simply awful,” he said. “Government is failing us. Government is broken.” Despite the high stakes, the 49th race has lacked the shock value of other swing races around the country, and Tuesday’s debate followed suit. “Every bit of this wild spending spree has created massive consequences for all of us,” Maryott said.
Maryott argued that legislators should resume abandoned plans for the Yucca Mountain Nuclear Waste Repository, a Nevada site that was designated for high-level radioactive material, but rejected amid political protest from local lawmakers, communities and tribal leaders. Maryott argued that Democrats are rushing the conversion to sustainable energy and hiking gas prices in the process.
