(CNN) – Sen. Hillary Clinton's campaign announced Friday it would launch a second ad in Nevada next week titled "Stand by Us." The 30-second spot highlights how Clinton 'stood up' on health care for children, the National Guard and reservists and on raising the minimum wage. Then the ad takes a local turn: "Now Hillary's standing up to stop the nuclear waste dump at Yucca Mountain." Yucca Mountain is a key issue for Nevadans who don't want nuclear waste in their backyard. Presidential candidates tend to flaunt their opposition to the repository for potential caucus-goers. A similar Clinton Campaign ad with the same title began airing in South Carolina on Thursday. The differences? There is no mention of Yucca Mountain and Clinton is 'standing up' against privatizing Social Security instead - a position not mentioned in the Nevada ad. Clinton and Sen. Barack Obama are the only candidates running ads in the Silver State. By next week, they will have aired two apiece. – CNN Nevada Producer Alexander Marquardt
