85% of Nevada is owned and regulated by the federal government, and Donald Trump wants to keep big government in charge. That's ridiculous. You, the people of Nevada, not Washington bureaucrats, should be in charge of your own land. If you trust me with your vote, I will fight day and night to return full control of Nevada's lands to its rightful owners, its citizens. Count on it. I'm Ted Cruz and I approved this message.

Ted Cruz attacks Donald Trump for wanting to leave public land in feds' hands
February 23, 2016

Cruz says that Trump wants to keep "big government" in charge of Nevada’s public lands.

Trump has answered questions on public land management twice. He has not advocated for transferring ownership, but he has focused on cutting bureaucratic red tape. Cruz exaggerates Trump's position slightly by saying Trump favors "big" government.

We rate the ad's statement Mostly True.
