Harley Kulkin lost Democrat Primary for Assembly 36 in 2006
"I should kiss up to Tom Collins, and the next time they might consider backing me for office" said Kulkin
Kulkin's opponent was annointed by the Democrat Party machine
   . Kulkin accused Murray of taking Clark County campaign contributions through the Democratic party's political machine, and said she therefore owes political favors to powerful people outside Nye County.  Tom Collins and Barbara Buckley  funneled campaign money to MurrayForget the law. Campaign finance laws only support a corrupt system. They think they have a right to come in here and tell us who we have to put in office.
     "Laurayne Murray has a network going from the top of the Democratic Party on down that arranges for her to meet people, make appearances and get campaign funds" Kulkin said. No one else running got that kind of treatment. "I got an antiquated list of Democratic contacts in the other counties. I can't even get to first base because I don't know who to contact" "I've always preached it's about the candidate, not the party. But when the party spent the whole time promoting their preferred candidate, it makes me ashamed of being a Democrat."                         WOW!!!!!

     I was surprised to find this today in the archives of the Pahrump Valley Times with a title of "Kulkin says "Murray a tool to Machine" with a date of August 23, 2006. Many of the problems that Kulkin experienced I experienced when I ran for Nevada Assembly #1 in 2002, 2004 and 2006.

     How do the people of Nevada take back their government from power hungry people like Clark County Commissioner Tom Collins and Nevada Assemblywomen Barbara Buckley?
