Uber has made its first candidate endorsement.
The endorsee: Assemblyman Derek Armstrong (R)
Why endorse? Democrats ran 3 anti ride share ads against Armstrong claiming that he opposed criinal background checks for drivers putting women and children in danger
Were the ads that sparked the Uber endorsement accurate? No. The legislation required criminal background checks but did not require FBI background checks, which taxi cab companies in NV support.
