Catherine Cortez Masto has the dubious honor of being considered the Democrats’ most vulnerable senator in the 2022 midterms, facing off a challenge from Republican Adam Laxalt, a former state attorney general.
Catherine Cortez Masto, 58, worked as a federal prosecutor in Washington, DC, before winning election to serve as state attorney general, where she spearheaded high-profile prosecutions of drug- and sex-traffickers and passed a law to make sex trafficking a felony. She also helped make it possible for victims of domestic and sexual violence to sue the perpetrators.
