Dean Heller\u2019s remarks as prepared for delivery:  Hi, I\u2019m Senator Dean Heller from Nevada. I\u2019d like to thank Ivanka for being here with us today to talk about the importance of the child tax credit. Whether it\u2019s the single mother from Gardnerville who doesn\u2019t receive child support and works full-time\u2026or Andrew in Las Vegas who worries about how he\u2019ll be able to afford daycare for his daughters next year, I continue to hear that families in my state are struggling to cover their expenses. That\u2019s in part because for too long \u2013 Americans have faced stagnant wages and slow economic growth.  In Nevada, median household income is $7,000 lower today than it was in 2007 and families living in my state are more likely to be living paycheck to paycheck than families living in nearly every other state.\u00a0  At the same time, childcare expenses have skyrocketed. In fact, my state is the least affordable in the country when it comes to licensed care for infants. In fact, a single mom living in Clark County would have to spend more than half of her income to send her infant and preschooler to a licensed day care center.  This is why an enhanced child tax credit is so important to helping families in Nevada and around this country begin to confront the rising costs of raising their children.\u00a0  What does an enhanced child tax credit mean for the average middle-class Nevada household? It could mean that a teacher\u2019s aide and a police patrol officer with two kids could get a tax refund of more than $250 instead of owing the federal government more than $1,700.  Think about this: That\u2019s more than three months-worth of groceries for a family of four. More than 15,000 diapers. It can also get you more than four years\u2019 worth of school supplies for two kids. An enhanced child tax credit could benefit tens of thousands of families in Nevada by saving people in my state \u2013 and Americans throughout this country - thousands of dollars.  To all of the working families in Nevada and around this country: we\u2019re listening to you. We\u2019re on your side. And I'm joining Ivanka in leading this fight for lower taxes for you. Because I know that when you succeed \u2013 your kids will succeed, Nevada will succeed, and our country will succeed.\u00a0\r\n###", 1, "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z", "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z"]], "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.heller.senate.gov/public/index.cfm/pressreleases?ContentRecord_id=18233858-0422-4D4B-B791-FA2926CF5665"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.7495239153504372, "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"}
