Mark Amodei issued the following statement after being granted a waiver by House Leadership to serve not only on the House Committee on Appropriations, but also on the House Committee on Natural Resources:\n\n\"Given Nevada's wealth of natural resources and the fact that 85% of the state is federally owned, it's imperative for Nevada to have strong representation on the Natural Resources Committee,\u201d said Rep. Mark Amodei. \u201cSecuring a waiver from leadership is no easy task, especially when you are chairing a key Appropriations Subcommittee, such as Homeland Security.\n\n\"I am incredibly honored to once again join this committee to advocate for the unique needs of the West, champion the use of our resources to drive economic prosperity, and promote responsible stewardship of our lands for future generations to enjoy.\n\n\"There is no stronger position to advance Nevada\u2019s needs than serving as the Vice Chair on the Appropriations Interior Subcommittee while also being a member of the Natural Resources Committee. I look forward to hitting the ground running regarding federal land management policy in the 119th Congress.\u201d\n\nThe House Committee on Natural Resources considers legislation about American energy production, mineral lands and mining, fisheries and wildlife, public lands, oceans, Native Americans, irrigation and reclamation.\n\nLearn more about the House Committee on Natural Resources here.\n\nBackground:", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-06T19:07:19Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://amodei.house.gov/news-releases/amodei-assigned-serve-natural-resources-committee"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.1685318313539028, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
