Burglary at Heller’s Vegas office, note left
By Ed O’Keefe and Amy B. Wang, Washington Post
Police said a “threatening note” was found over the weekend after a break-in at the Las Vegas office of Sen. Dean Heller, a Republican who could be a critical swing vote on the GOP health-care bill.
Las Vegas police said officers responded to a call about a burglary alarm Saturday morning at Heller’s office in southwest Las Vegas. There, they discovered what they described in a statement as a “threatening note” addressed to Heller, R-Nev., near the door to his office.
Heller has been under pressure from the left and the right over his vote on the health-care bill. Republican lawmakers have been steadfast for years in their promise to “repeal and replace” the Affordable Care Act, President Obama’s signature health-care measure — a pledge Donald Trump frequently invoked on the campaign trail.
