Este programa será administrado según el caso para las personas que cumplen con los requisitos, que incluye una verificación de antecedentes penales. Continúe leyendo para saber más sobre los requisitos de DAPA. Al igual que con DACA, el estatus de DAPA y el permiso de trabajo que lo acompaña se concederán por un período de tres años con la posibilidad de renovarlos antes de que hayan transcurrido los tres años. RECUERDE que si usted es elegible para DAPA, la solicitud no estará disponible hasta por aproximadamente 6 meses. Los Requisitos Usted es elegible para DAPA si: Efectivo el 20 de noviembre de 2014, tiene un hijo o una hija que es ciudadano Estadounidense o residente legal permanente; Ha residido continuamente en los Estados Unidos desde el 1 de enero del 2010; Estuvo presente físicamente en los Estados Unidos el 20 de noviembre de 2014 y al momento de hacer la solicitud de consideración de acción diferida con USCIS; No tenía estatus legal en la fecha de 20 de noviembre de 2014; No es una prioridad de aplicación de ley bajo las Políticas para la aprehensión, detención y expulsión de inmigrantes indocumentados memorando del 20 de noviembre 2014. Preguntas frecuentes y respuestas sobre la Acción Diferida para Responsabilidad de los Padres de ciudadanos estadounidenses y residentes permanentes legales (DAPA) ¿Qué es la "acción diferida”? La Acción Diferida es una decisión discrecional tomada por las autoridades de inmigración para no deportar a alguien de los Estados Unidos por un período de tiempo determinado. La acción diferida se determina según el caso y ofrece un permiso de trabajo y la protección ante de la deportación (a menos que sea revocado o cancelad… | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | ||

Continúe leyendo para aprender acerca de los cambios y cómo afectan su elegibilidad para DACA. RECUERDE que si usted es elegible ahora para DACA pero no lo era antes, la solicitud no estará disponible por unos 3 meses (aproximadamente el 20 de febrero de 2015). DACA todavía se basa en logros educativos y/o militares, pero las fechas específicas en relación a la edad del solicitante y la fecha de entrada a los Estados Unidos han cambiado para que más personas sean elegibles para DACA. Edad máxima La edad máxima para DACA ha sido eliminada efectivo la fecha del anuncio del Presidente, 20 de noviembre de 2014. Por lo tanto, individuos nacidos antes del 15 de junio de 1981 que cumplan con todos los otros requisitos de DACA, ahora pueden solicitarla también. (Antes del 20 de noviembre 2014, tenían que ser menores de 31 en o antes del 15 de junio de 2012, para ser elegibles para DACA). Fecha de entrada La fecha de entrada a los Estados Unidos que califica a alguien para DACA ha cambiado del 15 de junio de 2007 al 1 de enero de 2010. Apartir del 20 de noviembre de 2014, tiene que haber entrado a los Estados Unidos en o antes del 1 de enero 2010, y mantener residencia continua en los Estados Unidos hasta el presente. Esto quiere decir que DACA aún requiere presencia física continua en los Estados Unidos de por lo menos cinco años, y establece el 1 de enero de 2010 como la fecha limite. (Antes del 20 de noviembre de 2014, usted tenía que haber entrado a los Estados Unidos en o antes del 15 de junio de 2007 y tenía que haber residido en los Estados Unidos continuamente desde entonces.) Permiso de trabajo DACA ahora se concede por un período de tres años, en lugar de dos años. Esto significa que el estatus y el permiso de trabajo que le acompaña tendrán una validez de tres años, y brinda la… | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | ||

Subsecuentemente, se le pedirá a inmigrantes indocumentados quienes tal vez califiquen para una protección ante deportación y un permiso de trabajo, que se registren con el gobierno, paguen impuestos, y se sometan a una revisión de historial criminal asumiendo los costos asociados por su propia cuenta. El Presidente anunció una serie de pasos que él ha tomado bajo su autoridad ejecutiva que serán implementados dentro de las próximas semanas y los próximos meses. ¿Podrán inmigrantes obtener Residencia Permanente o Ciudadanía por medio de este programa? No. Esta acción ejecutiva no creará un camino hacia la Residencia Permanente o Ciudadanía para una persona que no califique bajo las leyes actuales. Sin embargo, estas acciones expandirán el programa de Acción Diferida para los Llegados en la Infancia (DACA, por sus siglas en inglés) actualmente en existencia para los inmigrantes que llegaron a los Estados Unidos de las próximas maneras: Para ellos que entraron a los Estados Unidos antes del 1 de Enero 2010, sin tomar en cuenta la edad que tengan en este momento, ahora serán elegibles. De ahora en adelante, el alivio de DACA será brindado por 3 años.

En los últimos dos años, he pasado muchísimo tiempo intentando de formular un proyecto de ley bipartidista con el “Grupo de Ocho” de la Cámara de Representantes. A pesar de esto, las conversaciones con mis colegas Republicanos disminuyeron, mientras ellos exploraban la posibilidad de introducir su propio proyecto de ley. Desafortunadamente, es evidente que el liderazgo Republicano en la Cámara no propondrá su propia solución a nuestro sistema de inmigración roto. Tampoco permitirán que se tome un voto sobre la legislación bipartidista que pasó el Senado en el 2013. Republicanos de la Cámara están negándose a avanzar legislación que reforzaría la seguridad fronteriza, estimularía nuestra economía, y registraría a los estimado 11 millones de individuos indocumentados con el gobierno Federal para que puedan contribuír completamente a los Estados Unidos, y obtengan su Ciudadanía Estadounidense. Enfrentado con inacción, Presidente Obama anunció el 30 de junio del 2014 que usaría su autoridad ejecutiva de la manera que pudiera para arreglar nuestro sistema de inmigración roto y mejorar nuestra seguridad a la misma vez. El Presidente apuntó a Jeh Johnson, Secretario de Homeland Security, a que recomendara una variedad de acciones que la Administración pueda tomar bajo las leyes actualmente en existencia. El Caucus Hispano del Congreso preparó un memorando para el Presidente y Secretario Johnson que da una idea general de los ajustes que se pueden hacer por medio de la rama Ejecutiva para mejorar nuestro sistema de inmigración. Ajustes tal como mantener a familias unidas, como hacer el refuerzo de nuestras leyes de inmigración más humanitarias, y cómo enfocar más el uso de recursos federales en los casos de personas con antecedentes criminales, y no en los de familiares de Ciudadanos Estadounidenses quienes han tenido presencia de largo plazo en nuestras comunidade… | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | ||

The latest volume of the SER changes nothing. I remain opposed to the misguided and costly efforts by some to restart this boondoggle of a program.” | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | ||

Amodei | A000369 | amodei.house.gov | amodei | https://amodei.house.gov/news-releases | scraper | FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Brian Baluta, 202-225-6155 CARSON CITY, NEV. – Today, Congressman Mark Amodei (NV-2) responded to Secretary of the Interior Sally Jewell’s statement regarding a rider in the Consolidated and Further Continuing Appropriations Act of 2015 delaying for one year the potential Endangered Species Act (ESA) listing of the Sage Hen. He released the following statement: “After nearly two years on the job, I am pleased Secretary Jewell is now ready to engage on the issue of the Sage Hen. I want to welcome her to the discussion. Back in March, in explaining why Interior had once again failed to submit a meaningful budget request for habitat conservation, Secretary Jewell testified to the Interior Appropriations Committee that the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) needed time to finalize its 98 resource management plans (RMPs) across 11 Western states encompassing more than 186 million acres of habitat. At the time, she indicated no appreciation for the fact that the vast majority of those RMPs would not be completed until after the decision to list the Sage Hen was made. Nine months later, I find it perplexing she has become incredibly comfortable criticizing Republicans and Democrats in Congress for providing precisely what she said was needed: one last chance for her to show some leadership and request funding to fulfill Interior’s habitat responsibilities as the majority land owner in the West. “I find Secretary Jewell’s criticism all the more interesting since her boss signed the appropriations bill in record time. I am still looking for her indignant opposition to the one-year delay when the provision was transparently and fully discussed before the House Appropriations Committee months ago. The resort to shallow political attacks does not hide the fact Ms. Jewell’s department chose, through budgetary inaction, not to make any attempt to avoid an endangered species listing. This is all the more insidious, since the habitat owner, BLM, and the Endangered Species Act Administrator, U.S. Fi… | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-06-27T22:44:12Z |

Since 2000, the Las Vegas metropolitan area has seen a 37% increase in population, putting strain on our area roadways and water infrastructure. Given the 40 million visitors who we welcome to our region every year, it is clear that we must concentrate on maintaining our current infrastructure and build to meet future needs. From our roads and bridges to our wastewater treatment systems and our schools, this report card illustrates a failure to keep pace with our rapid growth. Between 2012 and 2013, three out of four metropolitan areas grew in population, and approximately 85% of Americans now live in cities. We must strengthen our federal, state, and local transportation and infrastructure programs to invest in smart growth projects that increase the safety and efficiency of our area roadways and transit systems, conserve and protect our environment, and increase job and economic opportunities. That is why I am championing policies that will ensure that our local leaders have more of a say over how our federal infrastructure dollars are being spent. I look forward to continuing my work on behalf of the people of Nevada next Congress and addressing the failures outlined in the ASCE report.” The report can be found here. | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | ||

I’m proud that through my hard efforts, Congress has extended the state and local sales tax deduction and the Mortgage Forgiveness Debt Relief Act to cover the 2014 tax year. “These critical tax relief measures ensures lower and middle class Nevadans will be able to keep more of their hard earned money in their pockets which will help grow our local economy,” said Dean Heller. Nevada is one the several states that have elected to use sales taxes rather than income taxes to finance government services. The state and local sales tax deduction helps level an uneven play field by ensuring that Nevada is afforded the same treatment in the federal tax code as states with an income tax. The Mortgage Forgiveness Debt Relief Act assures homeowners owing more on their mortgages than their homes are now worth will not be hit with additional income taxes if part of their mortgage loan is forgiven, such as through a “short sale.” Heller previously wrote to Congressional leaders requesting the extension of the state and local sales tax deduction and Mortgage Forgiveness Debt Relief Act. Heller also previously introduced legislation to extend the state and local sales tax deduction and Mortgage Forgiveness Debt Relief Act. As a member of the Senate Finance Committee in the 114th Congress, which has jurisdiction over these issues, Senator Heller will work to bring tax relief to more lower and middle class Nevadans. ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | ||

All of these assignments allow me to achieve my primary goal: serving the people of Nevada. Having a seat on both the Senate Finance Committee and the Special Committee on Aging allows me to strengthen and protect important programs to Nevadans like Medicare and Social Security. As the Senate seeks to pass transportation legislation in the new Congress, my seat on the Commerce, Science, & Transportation Committee ensures top priorities for Nevada such as Interstate 11 do not go unnoticed. As Nevadans recover from one of the worst housing markets in history, I will continue to protect their interests as a member of the Banking, Housing, & Urban Affairs Committee. With nearly 300,000 veterans living in the state, I will continue to fight for the rights of veterans to receive proper medical care and treatment while serving on the Veterans’ Affairs Committee. “Each of these committees provides an avenue for me to best serve the people of Nevada. I’m excited for this new Congress and look forward to being Nevada’s voice on these top committees.” The Senate Finance Committee is one of the oldest and most powerful committees in the United States Senate. Jurisdiction for the committee is vast as it covers tax, trade, commerce, health, national security, labor, Social Security, and monetary issues. Membership assignments for the committee are coveted by Senators and only reserved for senior members of the Senate. ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | ||

Tule Springs tells the story of this region dating back thousands of years, and as a unit of the National Park Service, will attract even more visitors to Nevada.

Amodei | A000369 | amodei.house.gov | amodei | https://amodei.house.gov/news-releases | scraper | FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Brian Baluta, 202-225-6155 WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, language introduced by Congressman Mark Amodei (NV-2) to delay for one year any potential Endangered Species Act (ESA) listing of the sage hen was included in H.R. 83, the Consolidated and Further Continuing Appropriations Act of 2015, which passed the House 219 to 206. Amodei released the following statement: “I would like to thank my House and Senate colleagues for acknowledging the following facts: As the largest land owner in the West, Federal government action regarding land use has a profound impact on the resources and economy of the West. Consequently, those actions ought to be well and objectively thought out and funded by the federal government. “Our advocacy for a one-year delay in the sage hen listing is necessitated not by political agenda, but by the simple fact that over the course of 10 years, the Department of Interior has made essentially no funding requests for sage hen habitat protection or restoration. The delay is even more appropriate in view of the dual revelation by the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service (FWS) that they believe 1) multiple use of federal land in the West should end and 2) that fuels management to minimize wildland fire impact on habitat and habitat restoration are not effective solutions for habitat loss due to catastrophic wildland fire. “Coming so late in the process, these revelations only give strength to the claims of those who from the beginning feared this is really about ending multiple use in the West. For example, in a state like Nevada where, during the last 25 years, 6.5 to seven million acres have burned, while we have permitted during the same time approximately 150,000 acres for mining. Multiple use is not the threat to sage hen habitat. The credibility factor of Interior agencies is further eroded by their laser-like focus on the range cattle industry while ignoring the presence of wild horses in sage hen habitat. “For years, many of us have worked transparently in earnest t… | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-06-27T22:44:12Z |

The bill would fully fund 11 of 12 regular appropriations bills through September 30, 2015 and would fund the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) under a Continuing Resolution (CR) until February 27, 2015. The move to place DHS under a CR until March would prevent a government shutdown and enable new Republican majorities in the House and the Senate to take up policy solutions to end the President’s executive order on immigration. The CR would also prevent the Administration from enacting new policies within DHS during that time. “As always, federal spending is a series of value judgments. Given the composition of this Congress, which is coming to a close, I think Nevadans can claim a number of victories in terms of the funding priorities, spending reductions and reforms contained in this bill,” said Amodei. “We did our jobs and now we can move ahead to the next Congress with a new Republican Majority in the Senate where frankly we will be in a much better position to continue to reduce spending and to check the overreach of the executive branch.” Highlights of H.R. 83: Spending– Abides by the terms set in the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2013. Since 2011, House Republicans reduced discretionary by $176 billion. According to the Congressional Budget Office (CBO), “the federal budget deficit for fiscal year (FY) 2014 will amount to $506 billion, CBO estimates, roughly $170 billion lower than the shortfall recorded in 2013. At 2.9 percent of gross domestic product (GDP), this year's deficit will be much smaller than those of recent years, which reached almost 10 percent of GDP in 2009.” Sage Hen – Prohibits listing the sage hen as an endangered for one year. The bill also includes $15 million for the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) for sage hen habitat conservation efforts. Paymen… | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-06-27T22:44:12Z |

Mr. President, today I wish to recognize the annual National Finals Rodeo, which takes place at the Thomas & Mack Center on the campus of the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. The National Finals Rodeo has been held in Las Vegas for the past 30 years of the event’s 55 year history.

The National Finals Rodeo was established in 1958 by the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association in order to determine the world champions in various events from bull riding to tie-down roping. First held in Dallas in 1959, the National Finals Rodeo was held in many different cities until 1984, when Las Vegas became its permanent home. An integral part of the Las Vegas community for 30 years, the National Finals Rodeo has brought more than 170,000 fans annually to see some of our nation’s toughest cowboys and cowgirls compete in ten days of competition. This event has become a yearly tradition not only for Nevadans, but for people across the nation and the world. As rodeo lovers and horse enthusiasts, my wife Lynne and I were thrilled to attend this year’s event. The National Finals Rodeo offers Nevadans and rodeo goers nationwide a place to truly experience the gritty, energetic entertainment the Wild West is best known for. In one of the hardest hit regions during the recession, this event plays an integral role in Nevada’s tourism economy. Tourism continues to be a prominent economic driver within the Silver State, and I am thrilled to learn this event will be a part of the Las Vegas community through 2024. I ask my colleagues to join me and all Nevadans in recognizing the National Finals Rodeo, a special event that has proudly called Las Vegas home for the past 30 years, and I would like to offer the best of luck to all who a… | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | ||

DEAN HELLER OF NEVADA IN THE UNITED STATES SENATE December 11, 2014 Mr. HELLER: Mr. President, I rise today to congratulate Lieutenant Governor Brian Krolicki, of Stateline, for his decades of service to the State of Nevada. After most recently serving as Nevada’s Lieutenant Governor for eight years, he will be retiring on January 5, 2015. It gives me great pleasure to congratulate my friend and colleague on his 24 years of hard work and dedication to the Silver State. While serving as Nevada’s Secretary of State, I came to know Lieutenant Governor Krolicki not only as a trusted colleague, but also as a dear friend. While attending Stanford University, Lieutenant Governor Krolicki fell in love with Lake Tahoe, Nevada. After earning a bachelor’s degree in political science, he moved to Nevada. While maintaining his Silver State residence, he went on to become an investment banker in New York City and San Francisco. Lieutenant Governor Krolicki’s public service career began in 1990 when he was tapped to serve as Chief Deputy Treasurer to then State Treasurer Bob Seale. His many years of financial experience made him an ideal candidate for State Treasurer after the retirement of Treasurer Seale. Upon being sworn in as Treasurer in 1999, he began to tirelessly devote his efforts to the people of Nevada. His created the Nevada College Savings Plans, and was responsible for the successful roll-out and administration of the Governor Guinn Millennium Scholarship. Under his leadership, Nevada saw its first upgrade in credit ratings in nearly 30 years. After serving eight years as Treasurer, he sought the Lieutenant Governorship in 2006 and won by a sizeable margin. During Lieutenant Governor Krolicki’s two terms of service, he has ably focused on advancing the Silver State’s tourism industry all over the nation and around the globe. Lieutenant Governor Krolicki has served as Chairman of the Reno Tahoe Winter Games Coalition since 2006, and is actively fightin… | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | ||

And Rep. Dina Titus is one of them. The Democrat just won re-election to represent Las Vegas for a second term and has represented the Las Vegas area for three terms. She's also the only female member of Nevada's six-member congressional delegation on Capitol Hill. On Tuesday, Titus spoke to hundreds of young women in Washington, D.C., about what that's like. "The press never asks a man candidate, 'Well, what are you going to do about your children?'" Titus said. "That'll be the first question they ask a woman candidate." Titus was a panelist at the second annual Women In Power summit, put on by Google, Tory Burch's foundation and Politico. The former University of Nevada, Las Vegas professor spoke alongside DC's public schools chancellor, Kaya Henderson, and Rep.-elect Debbie Dingell of Michigan on the need to encourage more women leaders. Titus said that should start in grade school, as society emphasizes science and math courses for girls. Later in life, women need to turn around more often and extend their hand to career climbers, she said. "We had to fight to get here so we don’t really want to share our experiences," she said. "We need to be better mentors." Backstage, as she checked her makeup and spritzed one final shot of hairspray, Titus said 100 women in Congress isn't enough. It's less than 19 percent of the seats in Congress. To help more women get there, Titus has written and co-sponsored bills to encourage women to enter science and math fields. Titus said she misses her "good friend," former Rep. Shelley Berkley, who left Congress in 2013. She and Berkley are just the second and third women to represent Nevada in Congress. Titus hinted she's no pushover with the five Nevada men she works with now. "I don't think any of them would tell ya I'd take a back seat," she said. | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | ||

I look forward to reviewing the details of this new personal conduct policy in its entirety. If domestic violence and abuse are to be addressed appropriately in professional sports, players unions, like the NFL Players Association, must also rise to the occasion.

The lands provisions include several Nevada public lands priorities that will grow the Nevada’s economy with mine expansion and development of public land. REMARKS AS PREPARED: I rise today to speak in support of some of the public lands provisions that were included in this year’s National Defense Authorization Act. Before I do so, I would first like to recognize the work Senators Levin and Inhofe have put into this bill and their dedication to reaching an agreement with the House so that this bill can move forward on time as it has for over 50 years. As a member of the Veterans’ Affairs Committee, I hear every day about the sacrifices service members make to protect our country. Passing the authorization bill that helps ensure they have the equipment they need and the resources required to meet the mission they are tasked with is important. While I am pleased the Senate will be moving forward on this bill, I would like to note that the bill’s reduction in service members’ benefits concerns me. I believe Members should have had the chance to debate and amend this, and I hope the Senate will have that opportunity in the future. This year, the final defense bill includes several Nevada public lands priorities that will spur economic development and job creation in our state while enhancing U.S. national security. I have been working on many of these proposals since I was first elected to Congress in 2006. I want to thank incoming Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee Chair Lisa Murkowksi for her leadership and work on this public lands package. We have been working together for years on many of the bills included in the package, and I’m glad to see them get across the finish line. Let me first clarify that just because some of these bills are related to public lands does not mean th… | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | ||

Poor management was the central cause of Nevada’s veterans being forced to wait so long for their disability benefits. It’s time for the VA to address the state’s VA claims backlog by naming a new director committed to fixing these issues at the Reno VARO.

Mark Amodei (NV-2) and one by Rep. Steven Horsford (NV-4) – passed the House again, 300 to 119, this time as part of the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), in a move intended to help the Senate finally bring the legislation up for a vote in the waning days of the 113th Congress. Also included in the defense spending bill was Rep. Horsford’s Tule Springs legislation for Southern Nevada. “In the House, I’m confident that we’ve exhausted regular order for these Nevada bills, with each of the provisions, in one form or another, passing out of committee and the full House two or more times,” said Amodei. “While their inclusion in the NDAA is not my preference, I am pleased that the Senate has found time to take up these worthy bills in the second to last week of Congress, which is more than can be said for hundreds of bills passed by the House. Although there is some opposition in the Senate to the inclusion of the legislation in the NDAA, I am hopeful the support exists for final passage when the Senate is expected to vote next week.” The following measures important to Nevada were included in the NDAA and passed by the House: H.R. 433, the Pine Forest Range Recreation Enhancement Act, would designate approximately 26,000 acres within the Blue Lakes and Alder Creek Wilderness Study Areas (WSAs) as the Pine Forest Range Wilderness Area and release approximately 1,000 acres of the existing WSA lands. The bill would also direct the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) to exchange federal lands surrounding nearby ranches for private parcels within the existing WSAs to allow for management of public lands and ensure the economic viability of privately owned ranches. H.R. 696, the Lyon County Economic Development and Conservation Act, would enable the City of Yerington to partner with Nevada Copper to purchase, at fair market value, and develop approximately … | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-06-27T22:44:12Z |

DEAN HELLER OF NEVADA IN THE UNITED STATES SENATE December 4, 2014 Mr. HELLER: Mr. President, I rise today to congratulate Mayor Bob Cashell, of Reno, on his retirement. After serving as the mayor of Reno for 12 years, Mayor Cashell presided over his last city council meeting on November 12th, 2014. It gives me great pleasure to congratulate him, not only as a colleague, but also as a friend, on his retirement after more than 35 years of hard work and dedication to the Silver State. A devoted husband and proud father of four, Mayor Cashell stands as a shining example of someone who has dedicated his life to serving his community. Upon graduating from the Stephen F. Austin State University in Nacogdoches, Texas, with a bachelor’s degree in business, Mayor Cashell moved to Reno to work as a truck driver and salesman for a small refining company in 1961. Several years after moving to Nevada, Mayor Cashell and his colleagues were able to purchase a small casino-restaurant in 1967, which would later become known as Boomtown Casino and Hotel. His impressive business expertise has allowed him to continue on to manage and own several large properties across Nevada and the United States. Serving as the Chairman of the Board for his business, Cashell Enterprises, a hotel casino and management company, he quickly became a business leader within the local gaming community. After a long and distinguished career in gaming, Mayor Cashell decided that he also wanted to pursue a new endeavor and give back to his community. Mayor Cashell’s public career began in 1979 when he ran for the University of Nevada System Board of Regents and was subsequently elected chairman by his peers. After his tenure as a respected member of the Board, Mayor Cashell was then elected Lieutenant Governor for the State of Nevada in 1982.

Now we have someone who specifically lobbied the Administration and Congress in favor of Yucca Mountain, as recently as two years ago, to oversee finances and implement Department-wide programs.

David B. McKinley (R-WV) and Dina Titus (D-NV) introduced bipartisan legislation that will help veterans get the education they need to thrive in the modern workforce. The bill will give students utilizing GI Bill benefits more flexibility to pursue degrees in science, technology, engineering, math and other STEM fields. Titus spoke on the House Floor today to highlight the importance of the new legislation. Her remarks can be viewed below. “The transition from war zone to campus is not always an easy one,” said McKinley. “We owe it to men and women who served to do all we can to help them return to civilian life and pursue their dreams.” “As a country, we have a responsibility to help our servicemen and women when they leave the military and return home to civilian life,” said Titus, a Member of the House Committee on Veterans’ Affairs. “This legislation honors that commitment by providing resources to help veterans pursue higher education and gain the skills and training they need to succeed in STEM careers.” The impetus for the bill came from meetings McKinley had with student veterans in West Virginia who discussed the difficulty in completing certain degrees in the 36 months allotted by the GI Bill. This proposal gives students who utilize the Post-9/11 GI Bill an extra nine months of benefits if they pursue a degree in one of the STEM fields. “Given the appropriate resources, veterans possess the talent and experience to make a huge, positive impact in America’s communities and economy,” said D. Wayne Robinson, President of Student Veterans of America. “We must do everything we can to help veterans capitalize on their experience and pursue careers in advanced fields like STEM.” “This common sense plan will give those who have sacrificed for our freedom the tools to be successful in the 21st Century economy,” added McKinley. “This will not only benefit veterans, but will make America’s economy more competitive as well.” Watch Congresswoman Titus's remarks: | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | ||

And going forward, DACA relief will be granted for three years. It also creates a new program, Deferred Action for Parental Accountability (DAPA), to require undocumented immigrants who meet the following criteria to come forward and register with the government: Have continuously resided in the U.S. since January 1, 2010. Have a U.S. citizen child or Lawful Permanent Resident child who was born before the date of the announcement, November 20, 2014.

I’ve worked tirelessly from my first days in the House of Representatives to take the lead and ensure these lands bills were top priorities. I’ve been committed from the very beginning and am glad to see the fruits of this labor. I’m grateful my colleagues from the delegation, specifically Senator Reid and Congressman Amodei, collaborated in making these bills important action items this Congress. It was not an easy lift but the needs of Nevada were addressed, and I’m happy to achieve this goal. As this legislation becomes law, it will not only spur economic development in our state but enhance national security as well. Those are things we should all be proud to accomplish,” stated Heller. Senator Heller, a member of the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee, worked behind the scenes for months to attach these Nevada priorities, spurring economic development and enhancing national security, to the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA). The package of lands bills will be part of the final FY2015 NDAA, which will be considered by both the Senate and the House before the end of the 113th Congress. The eight Nevada public lands priorities included in the package are: 1) Lyon County Economic Development and Conservation Act – allows the City of Yerington to work with Nevada Copper to expand its mining operation and create over 1000+ jobs while also providing the City with new infrastructure, job creation, and recreational opportunities. 2) Elko Motocross and Tribal Conveyance Act - conveys nearly 300 acres of … | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | ||

REMARKS AS PREPARED: Thank you Mr. Chairman, and I appreciate the committee’s attention to this important issue. I know there are some that may question why Congress is involved in this issue. Let me explain why. Every minute in the United States, 20 people will experience domestic violence. Last night, more than 20,000 phone calls were made to domestic violence hotlines. One in three women will experience physical violence from a partner in their lifetime. And children exposed to domestic violence are more likely commit domestic violence later in life. As a husband, and as a father of two wonderful daughters, this is simply unacceptable and something that must be changed. These numbers aren’t just statistics – they’re people. They are wives, mothers, daughters, sisters, and friends. The witnesses before us today represent the most popular and commercially successful sports leagues in the world. Their star players are household names and role models for fans and aspiring young athletes. In the past few years, we’ve witnessed some truly shocking acts from some of these public figures. But just as concerning is how the leagues handled these situations and how the unions protected these players. It’s very clear to me that getting these players back on the field was more important than addressing incidents of sexual assault, domestic violence, even child abuse. The leagues and the unions simply brushed these problems aside and left it to the courts. Only when a video surfaced of the brutal punch an NFL player landed on his wife did the collective conscience of America demand these leagues and unions change their approach. I can only imagine what survivors feel like today. As I wrote in a letter earlier this year to NFL Commissi… | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | ||

Our delegation has a history of working together to enhance opportunities for economic development and to conserve the sensitive lands that make Nevada a beautiful place to live and visit. I look forward to continuing this tradition in the next Congress, as we consider future public lands bills impacting Nevada.” The Nevada Native Nations Lands Act includes a number of federal land conveyances to native tribes across the State of Nevada. This legislation is the result of consultation with tribal governments and federal, state, and local officials to further economic development opportunities across the state. A companion bill was introduced by Senators Reid and Heller earlier this year. | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | ||

The bill was amended to match the Senate version, which was reported out of the Senate Indian Affairs Committee on August 26, 2014. “These are all cases where local control and economic self-determination are preferable to Washington-centric management by a federal agency,” said Amodei. “These lands will enable the tribes to chart brighter futures for their communities and to better preserve their cultural heritage.” Te-Moak Tribe of Western Shoshone Indians: Would transfer approximately 373 acres of Bureau of Land Management (BLM) land in Elko County to be held in trust for residential development, recreation and conservation. Fort McDermitt Paiute Shoshone Tribe: Would transfer approximately 19,095 acres of BLM land in Humboldt County to be held in trust to resolve checkerboard lands issues. This would help to address law enforcement and emergency personnel jurisdictional questions, as well as enable the tribe to plan for housing development. In 1971, U.S. Senators Bible and Cannon from Nevada introduced a similar bill, but the legislation was never re-introduced. Shoshone Paiute Tribes of the Duck Valley Indian Reservation: Would transfer approximately 82 acres of U.S. Forest Service (USFS) land in Elko County to be held in trust for housing and infrastructure to address the reservation housing shortage and to recruit doctors, nurses, law enforcement, conservation officers and first responders.

The legislation, guided through the House of Representatives by Congressman Mark Amodei (NV-02), spurs economic development for six northern Nevada tribes: “The transfer of this land puts power back into the hands of local tribes and their communities. They are the ones best suited to make decisions on economic development and job creation. Much of the land will be used for residential housing, commercial growth, outdoor recreation, and cultural activities. These are all very important purposes benefitting the residents of Nevada. I would like to thank Congressman Amodei for his leadership with this legislation in the House. I will continue to work with my colleagues in the Senate to send this proposal to the President for signature before the end of the 113th Congress.” After it was amended on the House floor today, Congressman Amodei’s H.R.2455 mirrors the Senate companion worked on by Senators Heller and Reid. S.2480 passed the Senate Indian Affairs Committee by a voice vote on June 26, 2014, and awaits consideration by the full Senate. The six tribes affected by this legislation are the Te-Moak Tribe of Western Shoshone Indians, the Reno-Sparks Indian Colony, the Shoshone Paiute Tribes of Duck Valley, the Pyramid Lake Paiute Tribe, the Summit Lake Paiute, and the Ft. McDermitt Paiute and Shoshone Tribe. ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | ||

"It's disappointing that the President has chosen Las Vegas as his venue to ignore both the American people and the legislative authority of Congress. It is increasingly disappointing when you consider that the President himself has repeatedly stated he does not have the authority to do what he is announcing today. "I am deeply concerned about the precedent this executive action sets for future Presidents. This executive order will make enforcing current immigration law more difficult and act as an added incentive for individuals to come here illegally. Our immigration system is broken but as I have said all along, immigration reform should be debated and voted on by the elected representatives of the American people. I look forward to that debate with my colleagues in the House and stand ready and willing to work with our local leaders on immigration reform if they can put politics aside and focus on policy." ### Congressman Joe Heck represents Nevada's Third Congressional District in the House of Representatives.

Below is a copy of her remarks, as prepared for delivery. "I want to thank the witnesses and our Filipino veterans for being here today to discuss the Filipino Veterans Equity Compensation Fund. The Philippines has a long and distinguished history, including fighting alongside the United States in military campaigns and wars. We are grateful for their actions on behalf of our Nation. I am proud to have an active group of Filipino veterans in my district, and thank them for their service and for the guidance they have provided on this important issue. "The Filipino Veterans Equity Compensation Fund was established to compensate and thank these veterans who served so bravely alongside the American Army in the South Pacific in World War II. As part of the Stimulus passed in the 111th Congress, we finally took actions to provide additional benefits for Filipino veterans. "I continue to hear concerns from my Filipino veteran constituents in Las Vegas who believe that while this program was well intended, there may be veterans that have been denied the benefits they earned. It is critical that Congress, as well as the Administration, work to ensure that in some cases, we look to additional evidence for facts, when necessary. Earlier this year, the Appropriators directed VA to “consider all forms of evidence of service not just those originally considered.” I agree with this statement, and look forward to working with my colleagues on the committee to ensure that Filipino veterans are finally being treated fairly.

Currently, the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) specifically prohibits its medical providers from completing forms brought by their veteran patients seeking recommendations or opinions regarding participation in a state medical marijuana program. The Act would authorize VA physicians and other health care providers to provide recommendations and opinions regarding the use of medical marijuana to veterans who live in the 23 states where medical marijuana is legal, including Nevada. “As a member of the House Veterans Affairs Committee, I am committed to ensuring our nation’s veterans receive the best care available. The Veterans Equal Access Act provides a much needed update to our antiquated drug laws, allowing veterans to access the full range of treatments, including medical marijuana, available to relieve their suffering,” said Titus. “This is a commonsense measure that ensures that the medical staff at our nation’s VA hospitals and clinics can recommend the best course of treatment available for our retired servicemembers without fear of federal interference.” The bill is led by Congressman Earl Blumenauer (D-OR) and Congressman Dana Rohrabacher (R-CA) and cosponsored by Justin Amash (R-MI), Paul Broun (R-GA), Steve Cohen (D-TN), Sam Farr (D-CA), Walter Jones (R-NC), Thomas Massie (R-KY), Beto O’Rourke (D-TX), Jared Polis (D-CO), and Steve Stockman (R-TX). | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | ||

I applaud the President for using his authority to improve our immigration system in the absence of legislation. The actions announced today will relieve families from the constant threat of separation by deportation and allow undocumented men and women to legally join the workforce,” said Titus. “While this executive action will help to protect families, strengthen communities, and boost the economy, it is not a permanent solution to our immigration crisis. There is still much work to be done to bring the 11 million undocumented immigrants living in our country out of the shadows and on the path to citizenship. That’s why now, more than ever, House Republican leadership must put politics aside, listen to the American people, and immediately offer a vote on the long-term, comprehensive reform that our country needs. It has been more than 500 days since the Senate passed sensible bipartisan comprehensive immigration reform. With only 8 days left before the House adjourns for the year, Republican leadership should immediately bring this legislation to the floor for a vote.” | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | ||

The hearing, which was held at Rep. Heck's urging, examined the process for verifying eligibility claims under the Filipino Veterans Equity Compensation (FVEC) Fund. "The denied Filipino-American veterans have been denied long enough," Rep. Joe Heck. "These brave men deserve the compensation they earned through their service. But more importantly, they deserve to be officially recognized for that service. For them, living out their years knowing that U.S. government recognizes their military service and appreciates their sacrifices would be the greatest honor of their lives. It's time for Congress to take action and get this done." Rep. Heck questioned witnesses about whether it would be reasonable for the AGO-23 form, if submitted directly by a Filipino veteran, to be used as a proof of service to pay a claim. Acceptance of this form would be a breakthrough because many of the Denied Filipino-American Veterans have such a form. A video of the exchange can be seen below. Background: On February 18, 1946, President Harry S. Truman signed the Rescission Act of 1946 into law. This law denied Filipino World War II veterans, who served before July 1, 1946, the benefits promised to them five years prior by President Franklin D. Roosevelt. These veterans fought under the direction of U.S. commanders for several years as the conflict against Imperial Japan ensued in the Pacific theater, only to be eventually denied compensation. In 2009, Congress finally acknowledged the dedicated service of these veterans when it established the Filipino Veterans Equity Compensation Fund.

After serving the community of Humboldt County for over 15 years, Bill will be retiring in December 2014. It gives me great pleasure to congratulate him on his retirement after many years of hard work and dedication to Humboldt County and the Silver State. Bill stands as a shining example of someone who has devoted their life to the betterment of their community. He started serving the Silver State in 1997 when he moved to Carlin, Nevada. His experience of over 19 years as the City Manager in John Day, Oregon, made him an extremely qualified candidate to become the Carlin City Manager – a position that he held for two years. After his years as the City Manager, Bill became the Humboldt County Administrator, a position that he has held with integrity for the past 15 years. Upon becoming the Humboldt County Administrator, Bill became a person known for getting things done. He always worked well with all city, county, and state governments throughout his career. His consistent priority was to create initiatives geared towards the betterment and improvement of the lives of the Humboldt County citizens. Among his many accomplishments, Bill has been credited with the creation of a strong county budget and upon his retirement, he will be leaving the county debt free and fiscally strong. While representing Humboldt County for four years in the U.S. House of Representatives, and now as its United States Senator, I have had the distinct pleasure of working closely with Bill important northern Nevada priorities.

This legislation calls for the United States Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) to follow up with morgues on pending burials 30 day after a body has been identified as a veteran. Congressman Ed Royce (R-CA) introduced similar legislation in the United States House of Representatives earlier this year: “This legislation will keep the VA accountable for ensuring every veteran receives a proper burial in a timely manner. After all they have sacrificed in service to our nation, the least we can do is make certain they are afforded a dignified burial honoring their commitment to America. I’d like to thank Congressman Royce for taking the lead in the House and hope to see this legislation pass both chambers very soon,” stated Heller. Congressman Royce continued, “Stories of unburied veterans’ bodies are deeply unsettling and these travesties are the result of burial procedure loopholes at the VA. This bill ensures the VA follows up on pending burials 30 days after the deceased has been confirmed as a veteran, so that we know he or she is treated with both dignity and respect," said Rep. Royce. "While the quality of the healthcare that veterans receive has been in the news lately, our veterans deserve the same attention when it comes to their burials.” ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | ||

REMARKS AS PREPARED: First, I would like to take a moment to acknowledge two witnesses here today, Mrs. Selke and Mrs. Pallotta. I cannot begin to imagine your loss and I truly admire your bravery coming here today to talk about your sons. They served our country with valor and we must honor that by making sure every veteran from here on out is cared for when they return home. Chairman Sanders and Ranking Member Burr—I also want to thank you for bringing this issue before the Committee, especially because of the impact it has on veterans in my state. To put it in perspective—between 2008 and 2012, 593 veterans from Nevada were lost to suicide. Six months ago, I would have looked at that number and asked why is it so high? What is missing within the VA or VA benefits that so many of Nevada’s veterans resort to this? I think we now know that a big part of the problem is veterans’ access to care at VA facilities. This is such a critical thing to get right at the VA because of the ripple effect it has on a veteran’s well-being. Whether it is medical care, mental health treatment, or support during transition to civilian life, veterans being forced to wait for care from the VA can be detrimental. That is why I have asked the Las Vegas VA Director to send me reports about wait times for primary care, specialty care, and mental health treatment for Southern Nevada’s Veterans. Every two weeks, for both Las Vegas and Reno, I track these numbers for improvements. In the most recent data, patients already receiving mental health care from VA facilities in Nevada wait a week or less for an appointment. Unfortunately, the average wait time for new patients seeking mental health treatment is… | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | ||

The cost of inaction is far too steep, measured by the thousands of hardworking immigrant families who are separated each year," said Titus. "In the absence of comprehensive reform legislation, I urge the President to use his authority to extend DACA protection to DREAMers' mothers and fathers and relieve families from the constant threat of separation by deportation.” Watch her full speech below: | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | ||

DEAN HELLER OF NEVADA IN THE UNITED STATES SENATE November 18, 2014 Mr. HELLER: Mr. President, I rise today to congratulate Councilman Mike Carrigan, of Sparks, on his retirement. After serving as a member of the Sparks City Council for 15 years, Councilman Carrigan retired on November 10th, 2014. It gives me great pleasure to congratulate him on his retirement after many years of hard work and dedication to the City of Sparks and the Silver State. Councilman Carrigan stands as a shining example of someone who has devoted their life to serving their county and community. Graduating from the Naval Academy in Annapolis, Maryland, he went on to serve in the United States Navy for 20 years as a naval aviator around the world. I extend my deepest gratitude to Councilman Carrigan for his courageous contributions to the United States of America and to freedom-loving nations around the world. His service to his country and his bravery and dedication earn him a place among the outstanding men and women who have valiantly defended our nation. I am both humbled and honored by Councilman Carrigan’s service to the community and am proud to call him a fellow Nevadan. After his many years of service, Councilman Carrigan moved to Nevada in the early 1990s with his wife, Cora, and their two daughters, Ashley and Molly. He attended the University of Nevada, Reno and earned his Master’s Degree in Journalism and soon began work as a newspaperman in Fallon. With his experience and expertise, Councilman Carrigan began teaching part-time in the Reynolds School of Journalism at his alma mater, where he taught journalism courses for several years. His desire to make positive changes in his community soon led to his first run and subsequent win in office on Sparks’ City Council. Upon being elected to the Sparks City Council in 1999, he has worked on numerous projects for the City of Sparks and has always strived to ensure that Sparks stayed family-oriented.

DEAN HELLER OF NEVADA IN THE UNITED STATES SENATE November 12, 2014 Mr. HELLER: Mr. President, I rise today to congratulate Mayor LeRoy Goodman, of Fernley, on his retirement. After serving as the mayor of Fernley for several years, Mayor Goodman will be retiring on November 19th, 2014. It gives me great pleasure to congratulate him on his retirement after 42 years of hard work and dedication to the Silver State. Upon graduating from the University of Nevada, Reno with a bachelor’s degree in business, Mayor Goodman went on to earn his master’s degree in education and became a basketball coach and teacher at Fernley High School in 1965. Aside from dedicating his time educating the youth in Fernley, he has devoted much of his time and efforts to the betterment of his community through his roles as a board member of the Northern Nevada Development Authority, a member of the Fernley Town Board, sitting on the Board of Directors for a multitude of Nevada organizations, and as Lyon County Commissioner. His many years of experience made him an ideal candidate for Fernley Mayor after the resignation of former Mayor Todd Cutler. Upon being sworn in as mayor on August 5, 2009, he immediately began working on improving the functioning of the council and city operations. His main focus remained his constituency and ensuring their needs and priorities were met. I have been fortunate during my time in Congress to be able to work closely with Mayor Goodman on federal legislation – the Fernley Economic Self-Determination Act (S.1983) – which will provide the City of Fernley the option to purchase federal lands within the City’s boundaries that are currently landlocked by checkerboard parcels of federal land. Working alongside private business partners and state and federal regional agencies, we are seeking to develop a long-term sustainable economic development plan that will enable all parties to benefit from the use of private land within the city.

Even today, if Republican leaders allowed a vote, the bill would pass. But they won’t. When Republicans blocked legislation, your pledge to use Presidential power under existing law to improve our immigration system gave us hope. Without such changes, our economy will continue to suffer and families in our communities will continue to be torn apart. Although we were very disappointed when you postponed action until after the November election, we were encouraged last week when you reaffirmed your promise to act before the end of the year. We hope that your actions will prevent the separation of undocumented family members of U.S. citizens, lawful permanent residents, and DACA beneficiaries and offer protection to others who have long worked in the United States and have established strong ties with our communities. We similarly hope that you will recognize that undocumented farmworkers are “essential for agriculture” and that our country would benefit greatly if they were permitted to work in our fields without fear. We further hope that you will reform our immigration enforcement efforts to make them more sensible and humane. Bold and meaningful executive action will provide a boost to our national and local economies. It will strengthen communities and promote family unity. It will help the government focus limited enforcement resources on those who pose a true danger to the public. And by providing an opportunity for millions of undocumented immigrants to register with the government—provide detailed biographic information, undergo criminal background checks, demonstrate continuing compliance with tax laws—it will protect American and immigrant workers alike by reducing the threat of exploitation and abuse.

DEAN HELLER OF NEVADA IN THE UNITED STATES SENATE November 13, 2014 Mr. HELLER: Mr. President, today I wish to recognize a national non-profit organization within Las Vegas known as Horses4Heroes for being awarded the American Horse Council Time to Ride 100-Day Horse Challenge by introducing the most newcomers to horses in just 100 days. This unique program works to improve the lives of more than six million Americans who serve in the military, National Guard, as First Responders and their families, by making horseback riding more affordable and accessible. As a long-time horse owner and horse enthusiast myself, I recognize the importance horses play as both companion animals and to our nation’s economy. The brave men and women who have served the United States and fought to protect our freedom have often come home suffering from the effects of post-traumatic stress (PTS). Veterans faced dangerous situations in order to protect Americans from harm, and we owe them a debt of gratitude. Horses4Heroes is a shining example of the kind of initiatives that will help to re-integrate our veterans into civilian life, combat the effects of PTS, and help reduce the rates of suicide, while also providing comfort to grieving families. There is no way to adequately thank the men and women that lay down their lives for our freedoms, but the founders and volunteers at Horses4Heroes are working to assist our nation’s veterans by giving them the opportunity to use horses to help reconnect and get reacquainted with their families. The organization was founded by Sydney Knott in 2006 operating out of her backyard and has now grown to incorporate affordable recreational, instructional, and morale-boosting health & wellness programs at more than 200 and therapeutic equestrian centers across the country. This organization’s continued dedication to serving veterans in the Silver State and the country is commendable.

Under the new agreement, student and exchange visas will be extended to five years and business and tourist visas will be extended to 10 years. In December 2013, Titus and Congresswoman Grace Meng (NY-06) sent a letter to Secretary of State John Kerry urging the U.S. State Department to expand visa eligibility for Chinese nationals applying to travel to the United States in order to boost international tourism and spur economic growth. A copy of the letter can be found below. "This agreement is tremendous news for Southern Nevada's economic growth,” said Titus. “By expanding the terms of visas, we will attract more visitors, boost our travel and tourism industries, and create new jobs in our community.” The full text of Titus’s December 2013 letter to Secretary Kerry can be found here: Dear Secretary Kerry, We write to ask you to consider an important change to the structure of visa regulations for Chinese citizens applying to travel to the United States. We support extending the current one year validity to five years and allowing multiple entries over the term of the visa. We believe this change will benefit the U.S. economy as well as allow Chinese-Americans the opportunity to welcome family and friends from China to the United States more often. An efficient visa process is critical to U.S. effort to boost overseas visitation and the enormous revenues they generate for our economy. In his Executive Order on Travel and Tourism last year, President Obama launched an inter-agency effort to attract 100 million foreign visitors over the next decade. Extending the term of the visa and allowing multiple visits would constitute a major step toward achieving that commendable objective.

While we can never fully repay our veterans for their service and sacrifice, we can do more to help these heroes regain a foothold in civilian life through access to education, good jobs, and more effective post-service care. As a member of the House Committee on Veterans’ Affairs, I have sought to give all veterans and their families those opportunities. I am pleased that the VA reform agreement signed into law this August includes three of my bills: the Underserved Veterans Access to Health Care Act to address the shortage of physicians at VA facilities; the Military Sexual Assault Parity Act to extend counseling and treatment to members of the National Guard and other reserve components who suffer sexual trauma while on a required training mission; and the Spouses of Heroes Education Act to give military spouses access to the same benefits the children of a fallen veteran are entitled to. “Today, Veterans Day, is a day to honor and show gratitude to the men and women who have served our nation in uniform.

By calling for Title II classification for internet service providers, the President is doubling down on the ‘regulate first’ mentality that inhibits innovation and growth in the tech industry. The President’s approach takes dynamic technology and turns it into another utility like electricity and water. And just like power and water, today’s internet would become stagnant instead of remaining vibrant. “This approach fails to recognize the world has changed for the better, not because of regulation but in spite of it. We need a new telecommunications law empowering consumers by promoting robust competition in the broad internet sphere. We need to encourage new participants, not limit them. The free market rewards innovation and drives more investment to create jobs and economic growth. Most importantly, we need to ensure consumers are adequately protected from demonstrated market failures and not hypothetical ones.” ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | ||

It is a day to reflect on where we have been and where we are going. “One hundred and fifty years ago, the country was split and suffering through the bloodiest war in its history. President Lincoln’s re-election was in jeopardy, and the 13th Amendment to end slavery lacked the votes to pass Congress. Nevada’s acceptance into the Union preserved the Lincoln presidency and ensured ratification of the 13th Amendment and the abolition of slavery. “This unique history proves that though Nevadans rarely do things by the book, we always endure. We may be down, but we are never out. Over the past decade we have seen Nevada hit hard by the housing crisis; unemployment soared; and our economy suffered worse than most during the Great Recession. But we are coming back. New businesses are relocating to the state; our tourism and construction industries are rebounding; and we’ve been chosen as a site for the exciting new FAA Federal UAV testing program. “We have much on our horizon that can improve our way of life in Nevada. I will continue doing my part in Congress to stand up for working families, take care of our veterans, and give all Nevadans the chance to participate in Nevada’s future through immigration reform. So together let’s take pride in what we have accomplished and look ahead to a future full of opportunity.

The Democratic politicians said they will ensure a Blue Ribbon committee appointed by Nevada Supreme Court Justice Nancy Saitta has what it needs to examine shortcomings in the Clark County Department of Family Services and courts. The committee had its first meeting Oct. 7 to start the process of gathering information on what some referred to as a “broken” system. “Sen. Reid’s staff has been in contact with Justice Saitta and committed to help make federal resources available for her efforts as she deems necessary,” Kristen Orthman, spokeswoman for Reid’s office, said Thursday. Meanwhile, the Nevada Division of Child and Family Services has requested case files and information on Michell Momox-Caselis from the Clark County Department of Family Services for a review, according to Mary Woods, spokeswoman for the Nevada Department of Health and Human Services. Michell’s death became the latest high-profile case involving the local child welfare system after the 16-month-old was killed in an apparent murder-suicide involving her foster father on Oct. 12. “An independent child welfare expert is completing the review to ensure a thorough and unbiased review of compliance with federal and state laws, and state and local policy and procedures,” Woods said. “The review should be completed within 30 days of the reviewer receiving all of the case information.” Family Services staff will be available to answer policy and process questions from the independent expert reviewing Michell’s case for the state, but they will not complete the case review with the expert, Woods said.

Female veterans represent 10% of the population served by the VA, and that figure is expected to grow significantly. According to the Disabled American Veterans’ recent report, “Women Veterans: The Long Journey Home,” 20% of new recruits are female, along with 14.5% of the active duty component and 18% of the reserve components. Close to 200,000 women have served in Iraq and Afghanistan. Yet recent reports indicate that the VA drastically underserves our female veterans. “With the percentage of women veterans seeking care from the VA likely to increase, it is imperative that the VA modernize its services to adapt to the unique needs of our nation’s female heroes,” said Titus. “The House Committee on Veterans Affairs should play a leading role in guiding the VA to improve these services. A hearing on this important topic is the best way to start.” Full text of the letter to Chairman Miller can be read here: Dear Chairman Miller, When the House returns to session following the November election, we urge you to hold a full committee hearing that focuses solely on the care and support that are being provided by the Department of Veterans Affairs to our female veterans.

Horton Lifetime Achievement Award. The award, presented during the kick-off of the ACOEP's 2014 Scientific Assembly, recognizes an osteopathic emergency physician who "made contributions to the College and/or emergency medicine through his or her actions, dedication and deeds over his or her career." Congressman Heck received his Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine degree (D.O.) from the Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine in 1988, and completed a residency in Emergency Medicine at the Albert Einstein Medical Center in 1992. Following his residency, Heck worked in the emergency medicine departments of Sunrise Hospital and University Medical Center, both in Las Vegas. "I'm humbled and honored to receive the Bruce D. Horton Lifetime Achievement Award," Rep. Heck said. "This award is a great testament to the many exceptional physicians I have learned from and worked with over the course of my career in emergency medicine. As emergency medicine physicians we pride ourselves on providing care to all who come into our department regardless of chief complaint or ability to pay and I am proud to have been recognized for my service to the profession of emergency medicine and the College." In addition to his work in the emergency department, Rep. Heck has worked in emergency medicine as an ambulance attendant and EMT, search and rescue team member, and tactical physician with local and federal law enforcement. He has had academic work published on the topic of emergency preparedness and response. ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | ||

Prior to the 9th Circuit Court’s ruling, the Nevada and Idaho cases were “…consolidated for the purposes of disposition,” unfortunately linking the fate of both states’ bans. “Gay and lesbian couples in Nevada, Idaho, and across the country are entitled to equal protection under the law,” said Titus. “Idaho Governor Butch Otter stands on the wrong side of history. I urge him to respect the 9th Circuit Court’s decision so these committed couples may wed.” The stay was issued following an emergency motion from the State of Idaho. Justice Kennedy, in his issuance of the stay, noted that the plaintiffs have until 5:00pm EST, Thursday, October 9 to respond. | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | ||

Time and time again courts across the country have sided with equality over discrimination. I urge Nevada’s county clerks to move swiftly so same-sex couples who have waited to celebrate their commitment in front of their families and friends in their home state can do so without delay. Las Vegas has long been known as the Marriage Capital of the World. With today’s ruling, we can send a clear message that all couples are welcome in fabulous Las Vegas.” Congresswoman Titus, a member of the House Equality Caucus has long been a champion for LGBT equality, and as author of H.R. 2529, the Veteran Spouses Equal Treatment Act, has led the effort to ensure that LGBT military and veteran families have full access to the VA benefits they have earned. The 2013 Supreme Court Decisions striking down Section 3 of the Defense of Marriage Act has resulted in thousands of legally-married, same-sex veteran couples being denied their VA benefits based on the laws of the states in which they live. “Since last year’s Supreme Court decision I have been advocating for legislation to ensure that all legally married, same-sex veteran couples have equal access to the federal benefits they earned and deserve,” said Titus. “While today’s ruling is an important step forward for LGBT equality in Nevada, we must recommit to ending the injustice that remains for thousands of military families who live in states that do not recognize their marriage. I remain committed to seeing this wrong righted.” | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | ||

Colvin urging her to take steps to ensure that same-sex couples receive the Social Security spousal and survivor benefits that they have earned. Full text of the letter below: September 30, 2014 Dear Commissioner Colvin: We write to urge the Social Security Administration (SSA) to take steps to ensure that same-sex couples receive the Social Security spousal and survivor benefits that they have earned. In June 2013, the Supreme Court ruled in United States v. Windsor that Section 3 of the Defense of Marriage Act, restricting federal recognition to only heterosexual unions, was unconstitutional. By striking down this discriminatory law, the Supreme Court enabled federal agencies to begin extending federal benefits to many same-sex couples. We appreciate the significant steps that SSA has taken to ensure that same-sex couples receive their earned benefits. Social Security benefits are especially important for same-sex couples. Elderly gay couples have higher poverty rates than their heterosexual counterparts, and elderly lesbians are twice as likely to be poor as heterosexual married couples. Social Security benefits are currently determined based on a “place of domicile” standard, meaning that same-sex couples are generally only eligible to receive benefits if they live in a state that recognizes the validity of their union. With marriage equality being recognized in a growing number of states, we are concerned that same-sex couple may not be aware that they are now eligible for Social Security benefits and we believe that additional efforts are needed. Following the Windsor decision, it is our understanding that SSA began to specifically track applications from individuals who applied for same-sex spousal and survivor benefits. This means that Social Security has the ability to identify individuals who previously applied for an… | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | ||

This funding is in addition to the $2.6 million SSVF grant announced by Titus in August and will further advance U.S. Vets’ efforts to combat veteran homelessness in Southern Nevada. This grant is part of a national effort by the VA to aid over 70,000 homeless and at-risk veterans and their families. It will be utilized to provide services to low-income veterans and their families who are living in, or transitioning to, permanent housing. “Nevada’s veterans have made a tremendous sacrifice in service to our nation; yet too many of these heroes are struggling to keep a roof over their heads.

Nowhere was that clearer than at the first-ever high school STEM competition held in Nevada’s Congressional District 1, which I am proud to represent. The House Student App Challenge gave students the opportunity to interact with local high tech professionals, showcase their technological talents, hone their creative skills, and venture into new and exciting worlds. The competition, which is hosted by the U.S. House of Representatives, is designed to encourage student participation in STEM education fields as they create and exhibit their software application for mobile, tablet, or other computing devices on a platform of their choice. Teach For America teachers, working with my staff and Zappos employees, played a major role in the House App Challenge by encouraging students to participate and develop their own apps for the competition. This is not surprising. Over the last decade, nearly 700 Teach For America corps members have worked with students in the Las Vegas Valley, many of whom enter school with English as their second language and/or come from low-income backgrounds. Teach For America identified students for the House App Challenge, knowing that STEM education can hold the key to a brighter future. I share the belief of Teach For America that STEM education can transform the lives of students. Job growth in STEM fields is expected to outpace other professions in the next two decades. It is already the case that STEM jobs pay an average of 26 percent more than non-STEM jobs. Unfortunately, it is also the case that women and people of color are underrepresented in STEM fields. Only 14 percent of engineers are women; and while black and Hispanic workers comprise 11 and 14 percent of the workforce, respectively, they account for only 6 percent of STEM workers. The young women and students… | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | ||

This money will enable homeless veterans and their families to access affordable housing. Additionally, these funds will ensure that every veteran who receives a voucher will also have access to an array of other supportive services provided by the Veterans Administration. Veterans account for 12 percent of the homeless adult population; and the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development estimates that there are over 57,000 veterans without homes on any given day. “It is unconscionable that so many men and women who fought for our country struggle to find the most basic of necessities—shelter,” said Congresswoman Titus. “Despite the falling rate of homelessness among veterans, far too many of our heroes continue to struggle to find housing and jobs. Now more than ever, as threats continue to grow abroad, we must ensure that resources are available at home to provide for those who have defended our shores. These men and women fought for us; we cannot allow them to suffer when they return.

Holding working groups and other meetings in secrecy only discredit the decisions made by IAIS. It is critical for IAIS to have an open process to ensure input from policymakers and participants around the globe,” said Senator Heller. “Transparency is key to good, responsible government,” Tester said. “Whether in Montana, the U.S. Congress, or internationally, transparency holds folks accountable to those they serve. This resolution sends a clear message that the Association’s recent efforts to reduce transparency and public participation should be abandoned to ensure that an open process is maintained.” “Openness and transparency are vital to ensuring that regulators take into account the impact of their decisions on consumers. The International Association of Insurance Supervisors’ (IAIS) suggestion to close its meetings to consumers and impacted industries is a very large step in the wrong direction. I am glad to see bipartisan and bicameral support in rejecting the idea of another group of bureaucrats attempting to shut the American people out of the regulatory process,” said Congressman Huizenga. “International collaboration is essential in reaching cross border standards to safeguard against systemic risks in our global insurance markets.

As the Ranking Member of the Consumer Protection, Product Safety and Insurance Subcommittee of the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science and Transportation, I have been actively investigating GM’s past failures to recall millions of vehicles due to safety concerns. I am extremely concerned to learn that while GM officials were being allowed to receive excessive pay raises, they were producing defective vehicles that had faulty ignition switches that could slip from “Run” to “Accessory” with just subtle contact or by simply going over a bump. At a time when GM’s negligence resulted in millions of defective cars being left on road, this past decision by your agency enhances the notion that the federal government was more interested in rewarding a select number of company officials instead of maintaining proper oversight over GM. Given the fact taxpayer bailed out GM is currently being examined by government agencies for its past mistakes further demonstrates to me that, of the companies operating today, GM is by far the one company whose executives should have had their pay cut, and not inflated by the federal government. I respectfully request that you provide me with a detailed response to the following questions. 1) How did the U.S. Treasury Department justify rewarding a company with authorized pay raises that failed to understan… | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | ||

DEAN HELLER OF NEVADA IN THE UNITED STATES SENATE September 17th, 2014 Mr. HELLER: Mr. President, I rise today to congratulate David Sousa on his being elected the Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) Nevada Department Commander for 2015. I am proud to honor a Nevadan who has dedicated his life to serving our country and is committed to ensuring that our nation’s heroes receive the care that they deserve. Commander Sousa has had a long and decorated military career in the United States Army for over 25 years. During his service, he has served missions in Kenya and Somolia and went on to serve in “Operation Iraqi Freedom” in Abu Ghraib, Iraq, as a member of the 72nd Military Police Company. He also went on to serve in “Operation Enduring Freedom” in Kandahar, Afghanistan, as a member of the 422nd Expeditionary Signal Battalion. I want to extend my deepest gratitude to Commander Sousa for his courageous contributions to the United States of America and to freedom-loving nations around the world. His service to his country and his bravery and dedication earn him a place among the outstanding men and women who have valiantly defended our nation. As a member of the Senate Committee on Veterans’ Affairs, I recognize the important role the Veterans of Foreign Wars plays for combat veterans and military service members from the active, Guard, and Reserve forces. This distinguished national group of veterans has been a constant influence, furthering the voice of all of our nation’s heroes. On July 22, 2014, at the 115th National Convention, David Sousa was elected Nevada Department Commander. Commander Sousa has served and held many roles within the Veterans of Foreign Wars organization for the past ten years and has previously been named the VFW Outstanding Veteran for 2006. His work for the VFW is exemplary, and I expect great things from him as he assumes his role as Nevada’s Department Commander. Commander Sousa’s focus of his work for this year is suicide prevention… | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | ||

DEAN HELLER OF NEVADA IN THE UNITED STATES SENATE September 17, 2014 Mr. HELLER. Mr. President, today I wish to recognize and congratulate the Washoe County School District’s Air National Guard for receiving the Secretary of Defense Freedom Award. Former Secretary of Defense, William Perry, developed the Secretary of Defense Freedom Award under the Employer Support of the Guard and Reserve office in 1996. Each year, up to 15 awards are presented to employers in three categories: large business, small business, and the public sector. The award honors employers who have shown exceptional support to their Guard and Reserve employees and have gone above and beyond what is federally mandated to ensure that their military employees are well taken care of. This esteemed award is the highest in a series of Department of Defense employer awards, and I congratulate Washoe County School District’s Air National Guard on being selected as one of only 190 employers to receive this award. Washoe County School District’s Air National Guard’s extraordinary level of support they provide to their service members is admirable, and I am both humbled and honored to acknowledge Washoe County School District’s Air National Guard here today. During deployment, the school district takes the time to send emails and care packages to the brave men and women. Its support services also extend to the members’ families. Washoe County teachers volunteer their own time to help children and spouses who are in need of assistance by babysitting, housecleaning, and running errands. The school district has also been commended for the support it showed after a fellow Guardsman and teacher, Michael Landsberry, was killed defending students during a shooting at Sparks Middle School last year. Each and every day, our troops are serving the United States to protect the freedoms we enjoy today. They dedicate their lives to serve this great nation and constantly make grave … | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | ||

DEAN HELLER OF NEVADA IN THE UNITED STATES SENATE September 17, 2014 Mr. HELLER: Mr. President, today I wish to recognize Veteran’s Village in Las Vegas, Nevada, for its commitment and dedication to providing our veterans with transitional and permanent housing. Veteran’s Village is the only 24 hour, 7 day a week social service facility for veterans in Las Vegas. The brave men and women who served the United States and fought to protect our freedom have often come home to a struggling economy. A number of veterans are unable to find a job or afford to buy or rent a home. As the demographics of our Armed Forces have changed throughout the years, so too have the needs of homeless veterans. As a member of the Senate Veterans’ Affairs Committee, this is an issue I have been personally involved with and have introduced legislation to address. Organizations like the Veteran’s Village serve to help those in need in an environment of respect and dignity within the Las Vegas community. This organization is a shining example of the kind of initiatives that will help get our veterans back on their feet. There is no way to adequately thank the men and women that lay down their lives for our freedoms, but the founders and volunteers at the Veteran’s Village are working to assist our nation’s veterans by giving them shelter while they try to rebuild their lives. The organization was founded by Dr. Arnold Stalk, who envisioned turning the old Econo Lodge into a facility to house our homeless veterans. With the help of public and private collaborative partnerships, Veteran’s Village has created a home environment for our nation’s heroes who need a helping hand. This organization’s continued dedication to serving veterans through providing skills training, nutrition, employment training and referrals, continuing education and degree programs, medical services, mental health counseling and much more is commendable, and I am proud to honor this organization here today.

The U.S. Economic Development Administration, through a partnership with Operation Hope, will provide introductory small business workshops, entrepreneurial courses, and individualized technical assistance in targeted low income communities, including West Las Vegas. The program will assist emerging small businesses through access to capital and other financial services to help them expand and prosper. “District One is home to a variety of small businesses, well established stores that have been in families for generations, and new emerging ventures,” said Congresswoman Dina Titus. “Through this targeted public – private partnership, small businesses in our community will have access to the tools and resources they need to expand and thrive. Small businesses are critical to Southern Nevada’s continued economic recovery, and this partnership will help more entrepreneurs in Las Vegas start their own small business and create jobs. | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | ||

Titus, joined by the House members from the Nevada and Arizona Congressional Delegations, urged Committee leadership to prioritize projects of national significance, like I-11, that will have an enormous economic impact on regions of the country. As the only member of the House Transportation & Infrastructure Committee from the State of Nevada, Congresswoman Titus is leading this effort for the Delegation among her Committee colleagues. “I-11 holds great promise for our region’s future growth. As our Committee works towards crafting the next transportation reauthorization bill next year, I will continue to advocate for programs that will make I-11 competitive for the limited resources available for transportation infrastructure. With corridor planning and I-11 projects such as the O’Callaghan-Tillman Bridge and Boulder City Bypass either completed or well underway, it is important to keep I-11 a priority for the Committee as we move forward with the authorization.” In 2012, Congress passed Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century (MAP-21), a two year authorization bill that included a federal designation for a future I-11 between the Congresswoman’s Congressional District in Las Vegas and Phoenix, Arizona. In April of this year Congresswoman Titus wrote to Nevada Governor Brian Sandoval to advocate for solar panels to be installed along the Nevada portion of I-11 as part of an effort to create a solar highway. Las Vegas and Phoenix remain two of the last remaining neighboring, major metropolitan areas not connected by an interstate.

Since 2005, the Pyramid Lake Paiute Tribe and the Fish Springs Ranch, LLC, have been involved in litigation over a proposed Fish Springs Ranch water project which could impact Pyramid Lake. The Tribe and Vidler have negotiated and finalized a settlement agreement which would allow the water project to move forward in return for $3.6 million and the transfer of several hundred acres of land to the Tribe. The Tribe will waive its claims to any existing and claimed water rights. This legislation would approve the settlement agreement and would have no cost to taxpayers. “With water being such a precious resource in Nevada, I’m proud this bipartisan proposal moved to the final phase of a resolution: the President’s desk. This dispute has been settled in a mutually beneficial manner for all parties involved. Best of all, this agreement is a key piece of future resource planning in the Truckee Meadows and will allow for long-term planning to progress in the region. This has been a long-standing issue, and I’m pleased to see this was resolved before the end of the year.” stated Senator Heller. ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | ||

H.R. 4726, the Innovation in Surface Transportation Act, was introduced by Congresswoman Titus along with her Republican colleague, Republican Congressman Rodney Davis (IL-13), in May of this year. Today, Senator Cory Booker (D-NJ) and Senator Roger Wicker (R-MS) will introduce the Senate Companion to the Titus legislation. This introduction follows endorsements from the AARP, League of American Bicyclists, and The National Center for Safe Routes to School. “I am grateful for the support we are seeing on this innovative proposal that empowers our local communities. The endorsements from leading national organizations demonstrate the need for greater transparency and accountability when it comes to how we are investing in transportation projects. Senators Booker and Wicker represent states and communities with varying needs, illustrating how positive this proposal can be for big cities like Las Vegas, small towns, and our rural communities. We will continue to build support among our colleagues for this legislation providing greater local control to make our roads and transit systems safer, more efficient, and accessible for all users.” The Innovation in Surface Transportation Act will empower local communities to have a greater say in transportation investments. The legislation sets aside a portion of funding that state departments of transportation receive for an in-state, competitive grant program for transportation projects for local communities.

The Law Enforcement Access to Data Stored Abroad (LEADS) Act ensures that law enforcement has the tools necessary to execute search warrants where necessary, so long as they comply with the laws of the foreign country where the electronic data is stored. “I am proud to work with Senator Hatch and Senator Coons on the LEADS Act,” Heller said. “Broadband internet extends beyond borders and our laws need to balance the privacy rights law-abiding citizens are guaranteed under the 4th Amendment with the ability for law enforcement to do its job. This legislation is a step in the right direction providing the necessary clarity with our laws, and I am pleased to join in this effort.” “The way electronic data is used and stored globally has changed considerably since Congress enacted ECPA nearly 30 years ago,” Hatch said. “This presents unique challenges for a number of industries, who are often faced with the question of whose laws they must follow – American law or the laws where the electronic data is stored. Senators Coons and Heller understand the uncertainty created by this conflict of laws and that we should address this serious and growing problem as Congress undertakes ECPA reforms.” "Law enforcement agencies wishing to access Americans' data in the cloud ought to get a warrant,” Coons said, “and just like warrants for physical evidence, warrants for content under ECPA shouldn’t authorize seizure of communications that are located in a foreign country.

In June, Titus sent a letter to Attorney General Holder expressing concerns about the growing number of unreported crimes committed against animals in the United States, and inquiring about what the Department is doing to combat, monitor, and report on animal cruelty crimes. “I applaud the Department of Justice and the Federal Bureau of Investigation for recognizing the importance of including animal cruelty crimes in the FBI National Incident Based Reporting System. The FBI’s ability to collect data on these crimes not only enhances law enforcement’s ability to monitor and analyze trends, but will also provide evidence-based resources to study the known connection between animal cruelty crimes and other types of violent crime. This is a significant step forward for animal welfare, our law enforcement agencies, and our communities at large.” Full text of the letter to Attorney General Holder can be read here: June 25, 2014 Dear Attorney General Holder, I write you today with concerns about the growing number of crimes committed against animals in the United States and to inquire about what the Department of Justice is doing to combat, monitor, and report on animal cruelty violations. Animal cruelty is a crime throughout the United States and certain types of animal cruelty are felonies in 47 states, including the District of Columbia. Forty three of the 47 state felony provisions are first-offense provisions. Four are second-offense felonies (Iowa, Mississippi, Ohio, and Pennsylvania).

At a markup of H.R. 5449, the Passenger Rail Reform and Investment Act, in the House Transportation & Infrastructure Committee, the Congresswoman spoke about the growth in population and number of visitors to Southern Nevada since Amtrak service ceased operation of the Desert Wind route in May of 1997. “I want to thank the Committee for their hard work on this legislation…Passenger rail service is critical for so many communities across the country. I represent Las Vegas, a major tourist destination, which welcomes more than 41 million people from around the world to our world-class resorts, casinos, restaurants, shopping and shows. So the ability for people to travel by whichever mode they chose is very important to our economy. Unfortunately, the last Amtrak train to service Las Vegas departed from the backside of the Plaza Hotel and Casino at the foot of the world famous Glitter Gulch in Downtown Las Vegas in May of 1997. Over the last 17 years, Las Vegas has continued its transformation into the premiere tourist destination for people from around the world. Since the trains stopped running, nearly a million more residents now call Southern Nevada home, and 10 million more people come to Las Vegas for work and for play every year. This growth has put enormous strain on our highways and our airport. As this legislation moves forward in the coming months, I would like to work with you (Chairman) and the Ranking Member on an initiative to study restoration of passenger rail service in the Southwest, especially between Southern California and Las Vegas, one of only two major metropolitan areas in the West without intercity passenger rail. The infrastructure remains in place, and the need is there.” Chairman Bill Shuster (R-PA) agreed to sit down with Congresswoman Titus to discuss ideas about restoration of service. | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | ||

Because of the administration’s inability to articulate a coherent vision or even to describe what victory would look like, I cannot support this authorization.” # # # | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | ||

Heck must still be officially sworn into his new position: "I couldn’t be more proud of the nomination of Joe Heck to Brigadier General. Joe has many titles: doctor, Congressman, and now General. However, my favorite one is friend. He has served our country in the United States Army Reserve Medical Corps since 1991 and has been called to active duty three times, including a deployment to Iraq in 2008 during Operation Iraqi Freedom. That’s why I respect Joe so much. He’s a brave veteran who understands what so many of our nation’s soldiers experience both here at home and on the battlefield. Not to mention, Joe and I served together in the United States House of Representatives. He’s an active member and brought his expertise on military matters to Capitol Hill. Many people lean on him for advice in order to gain a better understanding of issues affecting the military. I am honored to serve with him in the Nevada delegation and am even more excited for his success." ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | ||

El primer distrito de Nevada representa perfectamente la forma en que la tradición hispana, el idioma y las artes han formado parte de nuestra cultura norteamericana desde la fundación de nuestra nación. Aquí en Las Vegas cerca de un tercer de nuestra populación y más de 40% de menores de 18 años se identifican como hispanos. Nuestros residentes vienen de todos los países latinoamericanos y de muchas islas del Caribe. Es fácil ver la marca inolvidable que los hispanos que vienen de diferente ambientes han hecho para nuestra sociedad. “Los nombres de nuestra ciudad, estado e incluso algunas de nuestras carreteras y monumentos vienen del español, representando perfectamente las varias formas en que la cultura latina ha dado forma a nuestras vidas. Desde lugares como el restaurante Venezolano Las Arepas y el restaurante Salvadoreño Las Pupusas, el Mercado Cárdenas y los tamales de Dona María, el hermoso grupo de danza mexicana Comparza Morelense y el diario informativo El Mundo, la Asociación Puertorriqueña y la Cámara de Comercio Peruana, nuestra comunidad, la economía, y nuestras vidas personales se enriquecen cada día por las diversas influencias hispanas en Las Vegas. “Cada año en el mes de septiembre y octubre, damos pausa para reconocer el Mes de la Herencia Hispana. Pero este año, este mes no es solamente una celebración de la herencia latina, pero también un llamado a la acción para todos los estadounidenses. “Nuestras fronteras están llenas de niños buscando una vida mejor; nuestras escuelas están repletas de soñadores, traídos aquí como bebes por padres que solo querían darles un futuro mejor, nuestras ciudades están animados por trabajadores que cada día tienen que vivir con el temor de ser deportados.
