Additionally, the Senator visited the site of SSR Mining\u2019s Buffalo Valley project in Lander County, Nevada. The Senator was joined on her tour by Lander County Commissioner Lamont Edgar.\n\n\u201cMining is a critical part of the Western economy and allows states like Nevada to continue to thrive,\u201d said Senator Cortez Masto. \u201cIt was great to tour the facilities and learn about how SSR Mining is leading the way in not just gold extraction, but in being responsible stewards of the land, investing in the community, and creating jobs across the region.\u201d\n\n\u201cSenator Cortez Masto\u2019s visit to SSR Mining\u2019s Marigold Mine reflects the importance of responsible mining to Nevada\u2019s economic growth. We were proud to show the work mining does with the local community and to ensure good environmental stewardship,\u201d said Jesse Ferris, General Manager of the SSR Marigold Mine.\n\nAt the facility, Cortez Masto discussed her efforts in Washington to pass the Mining Regulatory Clarity Act, which would provide certainty for mining projects across the west.\n\nSenator Catherine Cortez Masto has consistently led efforts in Congress to support Nevada\u2019s mining industry, protecting more than 83,000 local jobs and paving the way for Nevada to power the clean energy economy. She has consistently blocked burdensome taxes on mining and wrote important provisions of the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law to bolster Nevada\u2019s critical mineral supply chain and fund battery recycling programs in the state. Earlier this year, the Senator introduced the SILVER Act to increase geographic diversity of precious metal depositories.\n\n###", 1, "2026-08-26T05:33:32Z", "2026-08-26T05:34:56Z"]], "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://www.cortezmasto.senate.gov/news/press-releases/cortez-masto-tours-ssr-minings-marigold-mine-touts-work-to-support-nevadas-economy/"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.7325478363782167, "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"}
