Nevada has no records Rep. Jacky Rosen ever ran a small business in Nevada, despite her repeated claims that she started a consulting firm, according to documents obtained by The Daily Caller News Foundation.
Rosen, a Democrat, is challenging Republican Sen. Dean Heller for his seat in the upcoming November election and is considered former Senate Majority Leader Harry Reids handpicked successor.
In April, a public records request was filed with the Nevada secretary of state seeking a copy of any Sole Proprietor Exemption or Sole Proprietor Registration under Rosen or her maiden name between 1995 and 2005.
Less than a week later, a public information officer from the Nevada secretary of state responded in an email that no such records existed. Those registrations are necessary for any business owners in Nevada.
Rosen has routinely flaunted her business credentials, claiming her one-woman shop consulted with her former employer, Southwest Gas, and Radiology Specialists, where her husband was once a partner.
Rosen told a radio station in November that she raised my family, I built a business a woman in technology.
When the Reno Gazette Journal asked her campaign about this discrepancy, a representative said Rosen did not keep these kinds of forms from roughly two decades ago.
Jacky built a career as a computer programmer and software developer for major companies in Southern Nevada, and she used those tech skills to keep working as an independent consultant, campaign spokesman Stewart Boss said. Like many moms, she wanted to continue her career in business while also having more flexible hours so she could also focus on raising her daughter.
Rosens campaign did not immediately respond to TheDCNFs request for comment.
A Chicago native, many in her state know little about Rosen. A July 2016 in the Las Vegas Review-Journal said she struggles with name recognition and remains a political unknown to most Southern Nevadans.
The Reno Gazette reiterated that point, noting that Rosen is somewhat unknown to political pundits and voters.
Yet other questions about her past demonstrates a woman comfortable with massaging the facts surrounding her credentials if not outright lying.
When I was in college in Minnesota, I actually got a degree in psychology and computers. Im a computer programmer and systems analyst by trade, Rosen said.
Subsequent articles, like one in The Atlantic from January 2017, cited her supposed computer science degree, as well as her actual degree in psychology, as an example of how she is one of the few congressional representatives with a scientific background.
Yet no such degree yet existed when Rosen was enrolled at the University of Minnesota. The Atlantic had to eventually run a correction.
Polls show that Rosen is considered the narrow favorite in her upcoming Senate bid against incumbent Heller.
already versed in the art of deception. she’s a well qualified liberal wing nut.
Ping.
It’s not fair to expect Democrats to tell the truth because they don’t want to live in reality.
Do you have to incorporate to bill out your time personally as a consultant in Nevada? If she was a one-person operation with no employees, she may have her clients just pay her directly and for the IRS issue 1099s. In some states that is allowed.
Not a negative for a Democrat to be a liar. But it IS a negative for them to be a BAD liar. She’s no Harry Reid by that standard. I’m not sure Heller is up to acting on it, but if he’ll ask for help Trump could squish her lies with a couple tweets.
Business licenses, record keeping, and such are only for the little people.
Appears to be a pathological liar...
Perhaps she did work as she stated, no records?
If so she must have worked under the table while paying no taxes...
Ghost payroller. She probably got paid but their were probably no 1099s Or she was just an independent consultant, meaning she had no company she was just getting work from her husbands company, probably without doing much if any work.
Sounds like she was long term unemployed and nobody wanted to hire her. “I have been running my own consulting business from home” is a nice way to say “I don’t have a steady job.”
Article implies she’s either a liar or, at best, a crook acting outside of the Nevada law. Of perhaps she could be both a liar and a crook.
I have a friend who lives in San Francisco and loves to put her money where her political mouth is. She is going to spend the fall in Nevada campaigning for Jacky Rosen.
She should join up with the “girl from the Bronx” that lived most of her life in West Chester, they could get Pocahontas to be the leader of their new club
That makes her like one of our Uniparty dipsticks here in Texas.
Lived out of state with his parents, but had his name on the shingle of a Houston law firm.
Idots voted him in and he has been a wannabe one man Bureau of Land Management.
Shes a fake, phony, and a fraud. Bob Grant, RIP
So the fake businesswoman want’s to join the fake Indian?
It might be legal, but does it constitute “starting and running a business”? Not what she’s trying to make it sound like. If she “consulted” for her husband’s company it was probably just a way to get money out under the table.
I have all my records back to 1963, and I have been self-employed since 1980. I am NOT running for office.
I have watched her ads. There is ‘no there’ there. She is weak sounding, and appears to be totally out of place in trying to run against Heller.
Have NOT heard one single item you could call a ‘plank in her platform’.
I live in Nevada, so I am seeing these ads. She is NOT impressive.
