| https://www.rosen.senate.gov/rosen-lankford-statement-anti-semitic-attack-monsey-new-york | Rosen, Lankford Statement on Anti-Semitic Attack in Monsey, New York | 2019-12-29 | 2019 | 2019-12 | Democrat | House | NV | Jacky Rosen | R000608 | www.rosen.senate.gov | legacy | WASHINGTON, D.C. Today, U.S. Senators Jacky Rosen (D-NV) and James Lankford (R-OK), co-chairs of the Senate Bipartisan Taskforce for Combating Anti-Semitism, released the following statement regarding last night's mass-stabbing attack at the home of Rabbi Chaim Rottenberg during a Hanukkah celebration in Monsey, New York. Last night, at a celebration of Hanukkah, the Jewish Festival of Lights, the scourge of anti-Semitism reared its ugly head, bringing darkness with it. We are deeply saddened by this horrific act of anti-Semitic violence that left multiple people injured, said the Senators. This vicious attack represents a disturbing trend of violence against the Jewish community in the United States, and globally, and we must work to put a stop to this epidemic. No one should be made to feel unsafe for celebrating their faith, let alone subject to this kind of horrendous assault. In the wake of this evil attack and nearly a dozen others against the local Jewish community over the past several days and weeks, including a massacre at a kosher grocery store in New Jersey, we must come together to condemn these acts of hate, to take action to support and protect one another, and to empower our communities to combat anti-Semitism. We cannot stand silent while targeted acts of anti-Semitism continue to occur. BACKGROUND: Earlier this year, Senators Rosen and Lankford launched the Senate Bipartisan Task Force for Combating Anti-Semitism. The collaboration is the first of its kind in the United States Senate, serving as a corollary to the House of Representative's Bipartisan Task Force for Combating Anti-Semitism. ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | ||
| https://titus.house.gov/in-the-news/washington-examiner-federal-spending-bill-includes-historic-effort-to-curb-government | Washington Examiner: Federal spending bill includes historic effort to curb government animal tests | 2019-12-26 | 2019 | 2019-12 | Democrat | House | NV | Dina Titus | T000468 | titus.house.gov | legacy | Appropriations legislation expected to be signed into law by President Trump by the end of the week includes historic language directing several federal agencies to curb their use of animal research. The bipartisan spending deal announced by lawmakers on Monday consists of 2,300 pages of bill text outlining $1.37 trillion in federal funding for 2020. The House passed the bills Tuesday in two packages, which will likely be followed by Senate passage on Thursday and a signature from the president before federal funding runs out on Friday. The legislation instructs the National Institutes of Health, housed under the Department of Health and Human Services, to work toward reducing and replacing its taxpayer-funded experiments on primates with equivalent alternative methods. The agency, which has come under fire for repeatedly violating spending transparency law, spends more tax dollars experimenting on primates than any other government agency. Spending legislation also repeats language that was included in the final full-year spending bills for 2018 and 2019, which directs the Department of Veterans Affairs to extend restrictions on its controversial canine testing. The department will continue to have to gain explicit approval from the VA secretary to conduct dog experiments and will now also have to do the same for research involving cats and primates. In a historic move, Congress is also requesting a plan by Dec. 31, 2020, for the VA to eliminate or reduce the department's cat, dog, and primate use within five years. Also included in the final spending package is language approved by the House Appropriations Committee over the summer calling for the Food and Drug Administration to provide a plan for the reduction of its primate testing and the retirement of monkeys. "As a senior member of the House Appropriations Committee, I'm proud that measures I supported to hold federal agencies accountable for reducing harmful experiments on dogs and primates have been included in the final spending deal for fiscal year 202… | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | ||

Today, U.S. Senator Jacky Rosen (D-NV), a member of the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, & Transportation, and the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pensions, announced that her bipartisan Building Blocks of STEM Act has been signed into law by the President. Rosen introduced the bill with Senator Shelley Moore Capito (R-WV) earlier this year. I couldn't be prouder that this bipartisan piece of legislation that I've introduced is now law said Senator Rosen. This marks a massive leap forward for the opportunities that young girls will have in science, technology, engineering, and math. As a former computer programmer, I introduced this bipartisan bill to help break down the gender barriers that I faced as a woman in STEM for current and future generations. I will continue working in Congress on forward-thinking legislation that equips our students with the tools they need to succeed in their scientific and technological pursuits. For young women across the country, this bipartisan bill represents increased opportunities to explore STEM fields, said Senator Capito. As more tech companies invest in West Virginia, I want to make sure our workforce is ready to meet the challenges of this industry. I was proud to join my friend and colleague Senator Rosen in introducing this bill, and I'm proud to see President Trump sign it into law. Ensuring that the lifelong benefits of early and consistent exposure to STEM fields reaches girls is critical to America's long term technological, economic, and security interests, said Sylvia Acevedo, CEO of Girl Scouts of the USA. "As single largest girl-serving, girl-led leadership program in the country, Girl Scouts' STEM programs reach more girls in more places than any other organization. We are proud to support Senator Rosen and her cosponsors' Building Blocks of STEM Act to make funds available for research and programming to increase girls' engagement in STEM." Despite significant strides women are making in the scie… | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | ||

The bill from Arizona Rep. Ral Grijalva, chairman of the House Natural Resources Committee, passed by a vote of 236-185. The legislation would permanently withdraw about 1 million acres of public lands north and south of Grand Canyon National Park from mineral extraction. The Obama administration announced a 20-year moratorium on new mining claims in those areas, but backers of the bill warn that the Trump administration could reverse course without a permanent ban in place. This House needs to act on this proposal because these critical protections are under threat from the Trump administration, Grijalva said Wednesday. Nevada Democratic Rep. Steven Horsford also lauded the bill for ensuring that uranium mining will not irreversibly contaminate the sensitive habitats and clean water of the Colorado River watershed, which provides drinking water to nearly 30 million Americans, including some of my constituents in Nevada. Uranium and other hardrock mining can help foster economic activity, Horsford said, but it can also threaten communities' health. In my district, I have seen the impacts that uranium contamination can have on local communities. He pointed to the town of Yerington, Nev., where for decades, uranium contamination has persisted endangering the health of my constituents and forcing families to stop drinking from their taps, literally having to rely on bottled water. Horsford's Nevada Democratic colleagues Susie Lee and Dina Titus voted for the bill, which passed on a mostly party line vote. Nine House Republicans voted for the bill. Nevada's Mark Amodei was not one of them. The White House threatened to veto the bill if it makes it to the president's desk, saying the administration opposes such a large, permanent withdrawal, which would prohibit environmentally responsible development of uranium and other mineral resources. Grijalva accused the administration of pushin… | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | ||

But selling the property won't rid the president of the constitutional questions that have dogged Trump and the property since before Trump's inauguration, Nevada Rep. Dina Titus says. Donald Trump should've completely divested from his businesses before he became President, said Titus, who chairs a subcommittee at the center of congressional investigations into Trump's lease of the hotel. Instead, President Trump has made money from people looking to curry favor by booking hotel rooms and hosting private events, Titus said. The Founding Fathers put the Emoluments Clauses in the Constitution to prevent presidents from accepting bribes. Selling this hotel will not change the fact that President Trump has ignored the Constitution for nearly three years and he continues to encourage corruption in his own backyard. The news that the Trumps are looking to sell the hotel came a day after Titus and Transportation and Infrastructure Chair Peter DeFazio (D, OR) subpoenaed the General Services Administration for documents the administration has refused to produce relating to the hotel lease. The hotel deal has also prompted emoluments lawsuits which are still going back and forth in the courts. | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | ||

U.S. Senators Catherine Cortez Masto (D-Nev.) and Jacky Rosen (D-Nev.), along with Representatives Steven Horsford (D-Nev.-04), Dina Titus (D-Nev.-01), Mark Amodei (R-Nev.-02) and Susie Lee (D-Nev.-03), today announced compromise legislation, the Desert National Wildlife Refuge and Nevada Test and Training Range Withdrawal and Management Act, that preserves the jurisdiction of the Refuge and boundaries of the Nevada Test and Training Range (NTTR) while also providing Nevada's service members at Nellis Air Force Base and the NTTR the resources they need by supporting modernization requirements and accounting for increased public safety needs. If enacted, this legislation would create 1,310,806 acres of wilderness, the largest wilderness designation in Nevada history. It is critical that we find balance between conserving our public lands and ensuring we maintain the strategic importance of the Silver State to our national security. Our proposal continues to support the Air Force's combat training mission while designating new wilderness for our state's wildlife to protect the pristine lands we in Nevada call home, said Senator Rosen. I'm hopeful this bipartisan compromise legislation will help resolve land management conflicts and preserve public access to the Desert National Wildlife Refuge. I have met with environmental advocates, tribal leaders, and Air Force senior leadership on this issue. I'll continue working with our local stakeholders including military leaders, environmental and wildlife advocates, and members of Nevada's tribal communities to make sure all voices are heard. Nevadans have made clear that they do not support the expansion proposal offered by the United States Air Force. And I stand with them, said Senator Cortez Masto. Our legislation addresses the concerns of our community while also ensuring the Air Force has the resources and support it needs to keep our country safe. In my extensive engagement with Nevadans, it was clear that our local communities needed more of a … | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | ||

Today, U.S. Senator Jacky Rosen (D-NV), a member of the Senate Commerce, Science, and Transportation Committee, announced that the Broadband Deployment Accuracy and Technological Availability (DATA) Act (S.1822), bipartisan legislation the Senator co-sponsored, passed the Senate and is one step closer to being signed into law. Nevada communities across our state deserve access to high-speed broadband connections that will benefit them in their everyday lives, said Senator Rosen. I'm glad to see this bipartisan legislation pass the Senate and get one step closer to becoming law. This is a much-needed step forward to provide better access to broadband for Nevadans and improve the quality of life for the people of our state. BACKGROUND: The bipartisan Broadband Deployment Accuracy and Technological Availability (DATA) Act would: Require the FCC to collect granular service availability data from wired, fixed wireless, and satellite broadband providers. Require strong parameters for service availability data collected from mobile broadband providers to ensure accuracy. Ask the FCC to consider whether to collect verified coverage data from state, local, and tribal governments, as well as from other entities. Create a process for consumers, state, local, and Tribal governments, and other groups to challenge FCC maps with their own data, and require the FCC to determine how to structure the process without making it overly burdensome on challengers. ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | ||

Congressman Mark Amodei (NV-02) today released the following statement after voting in favor of H.R. 5430, theUnited States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA) Implementation Act, a bipartisan trade deal negotiated by President Trump to replace the outdated North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) and grow our economy by stimulating more than $68 billion in new economic activity. The United States trades more with our neighbors directly to the North and South than we do with any other countries in the world, said Rep. Amodei. In fact, we export more American goods to Canada and Mexico than we do to our next 10 largest export markets combined. Trade with just these two partners supports millions of jobs nationwide, including nearly 1,600 jobs in Nevada. The USMCA secures strong protections and enforcement for all aspects of the agreement, and for the first time in any trade deal, it takes into consideration the countless technological advances that have impacted the way we do business in today's modern economy. By dedicating an entire chapter to digital trade, this legislation will significantly maximize our potential to trade and invest in the digital age. Without a doubt, the USMCA will lead to freer markets, fairer trade, and increased export opportunities for America's farmers, ranchers, entrepreneurs, and manufacturers. I'm pleased to finally see the USMCA pass the House, and I encourage my colleagues in the Senate to act swiftly on this legislation when we return from the holidays in January. ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | ||

Congressman Steven Horsford (NV-04) released the following statement after the House of Representatives voted to pass his bipartisan Support American Teachers Act of 2019, accepting a Republican amendment to incorporate an additional increase to the tax deduction for educators. Of its passage, Congressman Horsford released the following statement: Today is a great day for our nation's educators and first responders. Every day, teachers and first responders around the country provide valuable and necessary services and spend money out of their own pockets in their mission to serve our communities. In my state of Nevada, teachers spend an average of $750 every year for their classrooms, Congressman Horsford said. I am proud that my legislation, which was made bipartisan with the approval of a Republican amendment, will allow teachers across the country access to $1,000 tax deduction every year as they shape the minds of our country's children. With this vote, we are telling teachers across the country that we recognize their sacrifices and we are working to put money back in their pockets. Prior to the vote, Congressman Horsford spoke on the House floor in support of the legislation, drawing on a constituent story from a teacher in Nevada's Fourth Congressional District. The Congressman's floor speech can be watched here. According to a Department of Education Survey, 94 percent of American public school teachers reported paying for school supplies out of their own pocket in the 2014 to 2015 school year. In 2017, nearly 25,000 educators in Nevada claimed the educator expense deduction for out-of-pocket classroom expenses. The legislation passed alongside the Restoring Tax Fairness for States and Localities Act, an important step to reverse the cap on the deduction for State and Local Taxes (SALT). This Restoring Fairness for States and Localities Act addresses many shortcomings of the destructive Republicans' Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, which, rather than devote resources to making wise investm… | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | ||

On Thursday, December 19, 2019, Congressman Steven Horsford (NV-04) voted to pass H.R. 5430, legislation to implement the Agreement between the United States of America, the United Mexican States, and Canada (USMCA). Of his vote, Congressman Horsford released the following statement: I am proud today to vote for this historic, hemispheric trade agreement that provides for key changes that correct the failures of past agreements, ensuring that American workers receive the protections they deserve, Congressman Horsford said. This sets a new standard for what Americans should expect from trade agreements and is a win for both our economy and American families. The transformed USMCA also includes high-standard rules that protect our environment and removes Trump administration provisions that would have locked in high prescription drug prices here at home. Currently, trade with Canada and Mexico supports nearly 17,000 jobs in Nevada's Fourth Congressional District. Additionally, $357 million in goods and services are exported from Congressman Horsford's district to Canada and Mexico annually. The Congressman worked within the Committee to ensure that important worker protections were included in the final agreement. Congressman Horsford has expressed the importance of investing in skills training for American workers to ensure they have the required skills to compete and attain well-paid, secure employment in the 21st-century economy. The improvements Democrats secured advance our party's goals to bolster America's economy, support workers, protect the environment and bring down prescription drug prices. Specifically, House Democrats have achieved their goals to secure improvements in all four areas under negotiation by: Enforcement: Fixing loopholes in the new NAFTA that allowed countries to avoid being held accountable and introducing new rules of evidence to make enforcement more effective and fair. Workers: Strengthening standards to make them enforceable; creating new mechanisms to monitor la… | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | ||

Today Representative Dina Titus of Nevada's First Congressional District submitting the following statement into the Congressional Record about her decision to vote to impeach President Donald Trump: For 35 years I taught American government to university students, said Congresswoman Titus (NV-1). When we discussed impeachment, I never thought I'd actually be participating in the process, but this president has left us no choice. He tried to rig the 2020 elections by soliciting foreign interference, and then engaged in an unprecedented cover-up once he got caught. No president can be permitted to abuse the power of the office for personal, political gain, nor try to hide his misdeeds by demanding that his subordinates withhold key documents and refuse to testify before Congress. President Trump's allies have offered lots of crazy excuses for why he shouldn't be impeached, but even they will not deny that he wouldn't have asked Ukraine to investigate Biden if the former Vice President weren't a leading candidate for president. I have analyzed the evidence thoroughly. It is consistent and convincing. That is why I am casting my vote to impeach President Trump. | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | ||

The Trump Administration's original proposal would have undermined workers and locked in sky high drug prices, and I'm only able to vote for the renegotiated version because of the meaningful improvements made by Speaker Pelosi, labor leaders, and progressive Senators. As revised, USMCA will boost international travel and tourism to Las Vegas and give us new tools to enforce stronger labor standards among our trading partners. Going forward, when entering into trade agreements, we must do even more to put working people and the planet first. | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | ||

Today, U.S. Senator Jacky Rosen (D-NV) released the following statement highlighting her many legislative actions during her first year in the Senate, including introducing 15 pieces of bipartisan legislation, co-leading a resolution to defend the Affordable Care Act (ACA), serving on five Senate committees and eight subcommittees, launching both a Senate Task Force and a Senate Caucus, and co-sponsoring over 300 pieces of legislation. Of the 300 bills and resolutions co-sponsored or introduced by the Senator, over two-thirds are bipartisan and nearly 60 have passed the Senate, and 6 have been signed into or will be signed into law before the end of the year. I'm proud to have made so much progress during my first year in the Senate, working with colleagues on both sides of the aisle to serve Nevada's hardworking families, said Senator Rosen. My office has made it a priority to address issues that matter to Nevadans, such as protecting access to health care, looking out for our veterans, and investing in and preparing our future workforce. I will continue working tirelessly to improve the lives of Nevadans through bipartisan legislation that benefit our great state and its people. BACKGROUND: This year, Senator Rosen was named as one of the most bipartisan freshmen members of the United States Senate in the 116th Congress. Every bill she has introduced has been bipartisan, two-thirds of the legislation she has co-led or co-sponsored has been bipartisan, and about a third of the legislation Senator Rosen has co-sponsored was introduced by a Republican. Of the 15 bipartisan bills introduced by Senator Rosen, highlights include: Introducing the bipartisan Building Blocks of STEM Act, legislation that will create and expand upon STEM education initiatives at NSF for young children, including new research grants to increase the participation of girls in computer science.

Today, U.S. Senator Jacky Rosen (D-NV) voted for both the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2020 and the Further Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2020, spending legislation to keep the government open. The bipartisan appropriations spending package secures several important provisions to help Nevada's hardworking families and the state overall, including a pay raise for Nevada's servicemembers, the repeal of three health care taxes, and Senator Rosen's amendment to provide over $4 million to combat invasive species in Lake Tahoe. I'm glad to see both Democrats and Republicans come to the table with a bipartisan deal that does not fund Yucca Mountain, keeps the government open, and invests in Nevada's health care, workforce, education, and infrastructure, said Senator Rosen. This deal does a lot to help Nevada's hardworking families by repealing three costly health care taxes and includes my provision to invest in telehealth programs, making health care more affordable and accessible. This package also gives a raise to our men and women in uniform, promotes Nevada tourism by extending funding for Brand USA, and for the first time ever, allows the federal government to conduct research into gun violence prevention. As we head into 2020, this legislation will also take important steps to fund the Census and invest millions in much-needed election security grants to protect the integrity of our elections. I will continue to support legislation that benefits the Silver State and Nevada families. BACKGROUND: Among numerous other provisions, Senator Rosen secured the following funding that will benefit Nevada: Senator Rosen's Amendment to provide $4,088,000 to implement subsection 5(d)(2) of the Lake Tahoe Restoration Act, which will help combat invasive species; $10,000,000 for pediatric mental health telemedicine funding and $50,000,000 for Distance Learning and Telemedicine grants, both Rosen-led requests; and Senator Rosen's request to add $50,000,000 above the President's Budget R… | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | ||

I have done that. We have two Articles of Impeachment: Abuse of Power and Obstruction of Congress. The question when considering the present impeachment vote is: Was the relevant conduct a high crime or misdemeanor? A misdemeanor is not a civil offense. The reference in the Constitution to high crimes' is self-explanatory. Why these words are noteworthy is because the factual proof-standard in criminal matters is: beyond a reasonable doubt. Accordingly, with respect to the first Article of Impeachment, does proof beyond a reasonable doubt exist in the reports of the Intelligence and Judiciary Committees? To be clear, the Constitution uses the word conviction', which is a criminal phrase not a civil litigation term. The majority alleges their allegation is a factual one: That in a July 25, 2019 phone call, in exchange for foreign aid and a presidential meeting, the President solicited the interference of Ukraine in the 2020 U.S. Presidential Election. Specifically, that he wanted a public announcement of Ukrainian investigations into Joseph and Hunter Biden, regarding past official and personal actions, and that such an investigation be conducted. Documentary evidence includes the actual transcript of the Trump-Zelenskyy July 25 phone call. Neither side has questioned the authenticity or accuracy of the document, so as evidentiary value as to who said what during the subject phone conversation, the transcript is uncontroverted.

Today, December 18, 2019, Congressman Steven Horsford (NV-04) voted to uphold the Constitution of the United States of America and hold President Trump accountable for his actions with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. This decision took careful thought and consideration. When I took my oath of office, I swore to uphold the Constitution of the United States and to serve this country. As difficult as this moment is for the country given the political divisiveness, preserving the integrity of our system for posterity is how I can best serve the interests of the people of Nevada, Congressman Horsford said of his decision. It has become apparent that President Trump is a continuing threat to our democracy and danger to our national security. He abused the power of his office for personal and political gain at the expense of our national security; he conditioned official actsmillions in military aid and a White House meetingfor his personal, political gain; and he attempted to cheat our democracy and corrupt our elections. And so today, I will vote in favor of the two articles of impeachment against President Trump. No one is above the law. Not even the President. With this vote, Congressman Horsford supported the articles of impeachment against President Trump, including abuse of power for pressuring Ukraine to assist him in his re-election campaign and obstruction of Congress for blocking testimony and refusing to provide documents in response to House subpoenas in the impeachment inquiry. | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | ||

U.S. Rep.Susie Lee (Nev.-03)wrote the following open letter to her constituents in Nevada's 3rdCongressional District explaining her decision to vote in favor of the impeachment of President Donald J. Trump: To my constituents, As I promised before my vote to support an impeachment inquiry, I carefully considered and reviewed all the facts and evidence presented by the respective committees, witnesses, as well as the Constitution and the Articles of Impeachment themselves. After weighing all of the facts, I voted to impeach the President. I took an oath to uphold and protect the Constitution from all enemies, foreign and domestic. With this vote, I honor that solemn oath. Based on the evidence gathered by Congress, despite systematic obstruction by the Executive branch, it's clear the President committed two impeachable offenses: abuse of power and obstruction of Congress. First, the President used the power of his office to bribe a foreign government to investigate a political rival and interfere in our upcoming election, thereby threatening our national security. As a taxpayer, it's fair to ask why Ukrainian aid is so important to U.S. national security. The answer is this: America has a vital national security interest in countering Russian aggression. Our ally, Ukraine, is quite literally on the front lines at war with Russia. U.S. military aid is critical to Ukraine in this war. The U.S. has successfully kept foreign aggression off American soil for over two centuries. But byillegallywithholding taxpayer funds to support our ally, thePresidentset a precedent that will not only have consequences in Ukraine, but in our dealings with corrupt dictators across the globe. Second, the President categorically and comprehensively obstructed Congress' investigation into his conduct. Under the President's orders, witnesses refused to testify, defied congressional subpoenas, and refused to produce relevant documents or participate at any time during the investigation. Further, he intimidated witness… | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | ||

Today Representative Dina Titus of Nevada's First Congressional district celebrated the House passage of H.R. 1865. This funding bill includes no money to revive the dangerous Yucca Mountain project. I worked relentlessly with my colleagues in Nevada and in Congressional leadership to keep funding for Yucca Mountain out of these bills and we won that fight, said Congresswoman Titus (NV-1). The Trump Administration can keep trying to force Nevada to become the dumping ground for the nation's nuclear waste, but we'll keep pushing back harder. Meanwhile, I am pleased that this legislation extends funding for Brand USA to continue marketing Las Vegas to international travelers. We've also included provisions that safeguard families' health care and economic security, promote the national defense, and protect animals. Congresswoman Titus was especially pleased to help secure many of her key legislative priorities in H.R. 1865 including: No funding for the revitalization of Yucca Mountain. Passage of Congresswoman Titus's bipartisan RAWR Act which will make international wildlife trafficking a serious crime. The reauthorization of Brand USA through 2027. The program was set to expire next year. $25 million for gun violence research. This is the first time in over 20 years that such research has been funded. Permanent repeal of the Cadillac Tax on employer-sponsored health care plans. Strengthened anti-animal testing provisions at the VA that add cat and primate testing to the restrictions that previously only covered dogs. $41.7 billion for the National Institutes of Health to conduct life-saving medical research. This is a $2.6 billion increase from FY19, and the Trump Administration proposed cutting $4.9 billion from the agency. $3.4 billion for the Community Development Block Grant Program (CDBG) to increase access to affordable housing and help low-income communities.

Congressman Mark Amodei (NV-02) today released the following statement after voting in favor of H.R. 1158, and H.R. 1865, two legislative packages that include all 12 Fiscal Year 2020 appropriations bills. Look at what we can actually accomplish when we make it a priority, said Rep. Amodei. In terms of the reforms, funding priorities, and responsible spending reductions included in these bills, Nevadans can certainly claim a number of victories. More specifically, these packages will increase funding for Department of Interior (DOI) operations including wildland fire management, Lake Tahoe restoration efforts, hazardous fuels reductions, watershed restoration, and the Bureau of Land Management's (BLM) Wild Horse and Burro Program. The Interior portion of these bills also allocates $12 million for radium cleanup efforts, which the University of Nevada, Reno (UNR) would be eligible to receive. In addition to providing funds to secure our Southern border, prioritize national security, and rebuild our military, other wins for the Silver State include funding for rural development programs, rural housing, Public Health Training Centers, and critical transportation and infrastructure programs. Amid all of the short-term continuing resolutions and recent disruptions we've encountered with regard to fully funding the federal government, I'm pleased to be entering the second session of the 116th Congress by providing certainty to our government agencies for the remainder of the Fiscal Year. ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | ||

Today, December 17, 2019, Congressman Steven Horsford (NV-04) voted to pass H.R. 1158, the national security appropriations agreement for the fiscal year 2020. Our military service members are the greatest asset to our national defense and it is an honor today to vote to approve funding that includes crucial improvements for their everyday lives and the lives of their families and loved ones, Congressman Horsford said. Those who serve in our military or have served in the past have made incalculable sacrifices and this spending bill allows us to repay them by investing in our military bases and installations across the country and including funding for improvements such as a 3.1 percent pay increase, 12 weeks of paid parental leave for all federal workers. This agreement also secures full funding for the 2020 Census to ensure that all Americans are counted and have a voice in our democracy, a key victory for the representation of our most historically undercounted communities and other crucial investments for my state. The national security minibus reflects Democrats' commitment to grants to help states secure our elections and to full funding for the Constitutionally-mandated Census. It invests in science programs, funds the military at a level consistent with the Bipartisan Budget Act, and provides funding for the four military bases and installations in Nevada's Fourth Congressional District, including investments for critical military operations at Nellis Air Force Base. Importantly, this agreement does not include any funding for Yucca Mountain reauthorization or interim storage. The legislation also grants Congress unprecedented oversight for the Department of Defense spending. This national security appropriations minibus also secures funding to: Ensure a fair and accurate 2020 census $7.6 billion to the Census Bureau, $3.7 billion above the fiscal year 2019 funding levels and $1.4 billion above the President's request Protect our environment $9 billion to the… | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | ||

The agreement also included key priorities for the Congressman, including funding for gun violence prevention research, increasing funding for the 2020 Census, and funding for programs that assist Nevada's children and families. I am proud today to vote for an appropriations package that will give working families a better chance at a better life, protect our nation, and uphold our values as Americans. This agreement also includes record funding levels for Head Start, Child Care and Development Block Grants, and Title I schools, Congressman Horsford said. This funding bill also includes key environmental protections, including the highest funding level for the Land and Water Conservation Fund in 15 years. After we move this agreement through the House, the Senate and President must move quickly to pass it. The American people are counting on us to enact full-year spending bills that invest responsibly and provide much-needed budget certainty. This funding package also includes a repeal of the so-called Cadillac Tax, eliminating a 40 percent tax on high-premium employer-sponsored health care coverage.

Today, U.S. Senator Jacky Rosen (D-NV) released the following statement celebrating the Senate's 86-8 passage of the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for Fiscal Year 2020, which she proudly voted for, as well as highlighting the many legislative victories included within the NDAA, including a 3.1% pay raise for servicemembers and a repeal of the military widow's tax. I'm glad to see both Democrats and Republicans come to the table with a bipartisan defense authorization bill that includes a 3.1% pay raise for members of our military, a long-overdue repeal of the Military Widow's Tax, paid parental leave for federal employees, and robust funding for Nevada's military installations, said Senator Rosen. It also rejects defense nuclear waste storage at Yucca Mountain and includes a bipartisan provision I backed to help veterans exposed to burn pits in Iraq and Afghanistan, as well as my amendment to ensure that the National Guard and U.S. Northern Command can meet current homeland defense and security needs. Overall this is a great bill for Nevada, the home of the fighter pilot for both the Air Force and Navy, the largest remotely piloted aircraft (RPA) mission for the Air Force, and the only place in the country where subcritical experiments are conducted to verify the viability of our nuclear stockpile. Senator Rosen continued. I will continue to work across the aisle to support our men in women in uniform and enhance our national security. BACKGROUND: The NDAA authorizes a total of $738 billion for fiscal 2020 for defense programs, the Energy Department, and other agencies. It provides a 3.1 percent pay raise for servicemembers, the largest increase in a decade. The legislation also phases out over three years the widow's tax, which had reduced military survivor benefits.

Today, U.S. Senator Jacky Rosen (D-NV) announced her co-sponsorship of the CONNECT for Health Act, bipartisan legislation that would expand the use of telehealth and remote patient monitoring services in order to provide cost savings and quality care. In many of our state's rural communities, Nevadans often have to travel great distances in order to seek medical care, said Senator Rosen. This legislation would remove restrictions and limitations that are holding back those in need from utilizing telehealth programs, while at the same time providing areas for cost-saving measures. I will continue to support forward-thinking legislation that improves access to health services for Nevadans. BACKGROUND: Telehealth is the use of telecommunications technologies to deliver health care, health information, or health education at a distance. Clinical uses include video conferencing, remote patient monitoring (RPM) services (use of telecommunications tools to monitor high-risk patients at home), and store-and-forward technologies (asynchronous transfer of medical data for analysis and care). The bipartisan CONNECT for Health Act would create a bridge program to help providers transition to the goals of the Medicare Access and CHIP Reauthorization Act (MACRA) and the Merit-based Incentive Payment System (MIPS) through using telehealth and RPM without most restrictions. This legislation also would permit the use of remote patient monitoring for certain patients with chronic conditions, permit further telehealth and RPM in community health centers and rural health clinics, and allow telehealth and RPM to be basic benefits in Medicare Advantage. In November, the Senate passed Senator Rosen's amendment to increase funding for the USDA Distance Learning and Telemedicine (DLT) grant program by $1 million. Earlier in the year, Rosen led a group of a dozen Senators in an appropriations request to the Senate Subcommittee on Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and Drug Administration, and Related Agencies, highligh… | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | ||

Today, U.S. Senator Jacky Rosen (D-NV) announced she recently joined Senator Michael Bennett (D-CO) and 46 of their Senate colleagues in sending a bipartisan letter to the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), urging that the commission prioritize sustainable rural broadband networks as the FCC considers new rules in the Rural Digital Opportunity Fund (RDOF) proceeding. If our rural communities are to survive and flourish, our rural constituents need access to services that are on par with those in urban areas, wrote the lawmakers. By contrast, it would be an inefficient use of resources to promote services that cannot keep pace with consumer demand and the evolution of broadband in urban areas. As the FCC moves forward to adopt new rules in the Rural Digital Opportunity Fund proceeding, we urge you to promote the deployment of networks that will be sustainable even as new advancements are made and are capable of delivering the best level of broadband access for the available USF budget for many years to come. The text of the letter is available here and below. Dear Chairman Pai: As the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) considers new rules in the Rural Digital Opportunity Fund proceeding, we write to emphasize the importance of sustainable networks that meet the needs of consumers now and in the future. Given that the FCC plays a critical role in connecting rural communities to high-speed internet through the universal service fund (USF), we encourage the FCC to make the most efficient and effective use of those funds. Any large-scale infrastructure project requires reasonable planning that takes account not only of current needs, but also of projected demands over the life of the asset being funded; and the distribution of USF should be no different. For broadband specifically, this requires that networks, built using USF, must be capable of delivering speeds, latency, and usage capacity according to what the FCC deems necessar… | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | ||

On Sunday, December 15, 2019, Congressman Steven Horsford (NV-04) and Congresswoman Susie Lee (NV-03) will speak on the historic passage of H.R. 3, the Elijah Cummings Lower Drug Costs Now Act. They will be joined by Protect Our Care's Andres Ramirez and local stakeholders. This is a historic time for families and patients all across America for folks like myself, who rely on multiple, life-saving medications every day, Congressman Horsford said. I voted for this legislation for the countless people who have stopped me at churches or community events to tell me how they've had to make the painful decisions between paying their rent and affording the life-saving medications they need to stay healthy. I voted to once and for all put the health of Nevadans over the profits of pharmaceutical companies. I won't give up fighting until this legislation is passed and signed into law. I have received letters, calls, and messages from over 1,200 of my constituents with the same message: prescription drug prices are too high, said Rep. Susie Lee. Thousands of Nevadans with diabetes, asthma, cancer, MS, and other illnesses will see their medication costs drop significantly if this bipartisan bill becomes law. Not just that, but my provision in H.R. 3 will protect hard-working Nevadans on Medicare by guaranteeing that their retirement savings are not counted towards their eligibility of Medicare Part D's Low Income Subsidy program. This is an important moment for the health of our country, and I hope that my colleagues in the Senate and the President take action with us to lower prescription drug prices once and for all. If you plan to attend the call, please RSVP to shelbie.bostedt@mail.house.gov. EVENT DETAILS: Who: Congressman Steven Horsford, Congresswoman Susie Lee, Protect Our Care's Andres Ramirez What: H.R. 3 Passage Press Conference and Celebration When: Sunday, December 15, 2019; 10 a.m. Where: Desert Vista Community Center, 10360 Sun City Blvd. Las Vegas, NV 89134 | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | ||

Susie Lee (Nev.-03) issued the following statement on the final Articles of Impeachment, which the House Committee on the Judiciary finalized this morning: As I did before I voted to support an impeachment inquiry, I have carefully deliberated and comprehensively reviewed the facts presented by the respective committees, witnesses, and available evidence, as well as reviewed the Constitution and the Articles of Impeachment themselves. This is a grave decision that requires thorough and solemn deliberation. After weighing all of the facts, I will be voting in support of impeachment of the President. The facts are clear: the President abused the power of his office and blatantly obstructed Congress. I took an oath of office to defend the Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic. This is a solemn decision. I end with this: democracies live and die by the integrity of our elections. We have lived in relative peace on our soil for over two centuries in the strongest democracy on earth. It is my constitutional duty to ensure that it remains that way. | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | ||

Today, U.S. Senator Jacky Rosen (D-NV) applauded news of the passage of a bipartisan resolution, which she co-sponsored along with all 24 of her female Senate colleagues, recognizing astronauts Dr. Jessica U. Meir and Christina H. Koch, who made history by completing the first all-female spacewalk. The resolution also recognizes NASA's efforts to fully integrate women into the astronaut corp. I am thrilled to congratulate Dr. Jessica Meir and Christina Koch on their historic accomplishment, said Senator Rosen. Women make up half of this country's workforce but less than a quarter of all STEM jobs. I hope this momentous occasion will inspire girls and young women around the country, and encourage them to break barriers and pursue their dreams. BACKGROUND: On October 18, 2019, Dr. Jessica U. Meir and Christina H. Koch completed their seven hour and seven-minute spacewalk, marking the first time in history that such a task was done by two female astronauts. Of the approximately 560 people to have been in space, only 65 of them have been women. Space travel and other careers in STEM have long been disproportionately underrepresented by women. NASA did not even admit women into their astronaut program until 1978, more than ten years after the first spacewalk took place. Dr. Meir and Ms. Koch's successful spacewalk makes them the 14th and 15th women, respectively, to conduct a spacewalk. In 2013, Dr. Meir and Ms. Koch were among the four women and four men selected from more than 6,000 applications for NASA's 21st class of astronauts. The class of 2013 was the first group to include equal numbers of men and women. ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | ||

Today, U.S. Senator Jacky Rosen (D-NV) joined Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) and six colleagues in sending a letter to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), and the White House Office of National Drug Control Policy (ONDCP), requesting a status update on the federal government's efforts to expand marijuana manufacturing licenses to facilitate research on the potential health and therapeutic benefits of marijuana. With millions of American adults having access to recreational marijuana and a growing number seeking to use it for medicinal purposes, the federal government is not providing the necessary leadership and tools in this developing field. Evidence-based public policy is critical to ensuring our marijuana laws best serve patients and health care providers, wrote the lawmakers.

Congressman Mark Amodei (NV-02) today released the following statement after voting against H.R. 3, the Elijah E. Cummings Lower Drug Costs Now Act, a partisan prescription drug proposal that would eliminate lifesaving cures, will not be considered in the Senate, and will not be signed into law. This legislation passed out of the House with a recorded vote of 230-192. When it comes to prescription drug costs, the challenge is to fix the issue without killing the industry. Unfortunately, H.R. 3 would result in fewer cures and less access to prescription drugs including life-saving treatments. While Speaker Pelosi is trying to pass this legislation off as a negotiation that would lower drug prices for the American people, it's actually a government mandate. Under the bill, drug companies would sell prescription drugs at a price arbitrarily set by government bureaucrats who would set a maximum price for the drug.If a manufacturer refuses to comply with that price, the government will tax the drug manufacturer's overall revenue at 65 percent, a rate which keeps rising until it hits a 95 percent tax rate. In short: do what I say or go out of business. Unlike H.R. 3, which is a sweeping expansion of government control over patients' health care, the House also voted today on a bipartisan alternative to lowering prescription drug costs. Offered as a substitute amendment to H.R. 3, H.R. 19, the Lower Costs, More Cures Act, would actually lower the cost of prescription drugs through provisions that will encourage the innovation of new cures, promote more low-cost options for patients, and crack down on drug companies who attempt to cheat the patent system. More specifically, H.R. 19 would place a cap on seniors' out-of-pocket drug costs for the first time ever, make insulin more affordable, and cut the cost of drug administration for Medicare beneficiaries by as much as half.

With the Lower Drug Costs Now Act, House Democrats are taking bold action to level the playing field for American patients and taxpayers: It ends the ban on Medicare negotiating directly with the drug companies and creates powerful new tools to force drug companies to the table to agree to real price reductions while ensuring seniors never lose access to the prescriptions they need. H.R. 3 also makes the lower drug prices negotiated by Medicare available to all Americans, including those with private insurance, not just Medicare beneficiaries. This legislation stops drug companies ripping off Americans while charging other countries less for the same drugs, limiting the maximum price for any negotiated drug to be in line with the average price in countries like ours, where drug companies charge less for the same drugs and admit they still make a profit.

Member of the House Committee on Education and Labor, U.S. Rep. Susie Lee (Nev.-03), questioned Department of Education (DOE) Secretary Betsy DeVos on her department's refusal, since June 2018,to provide full loan relief to hundreds of thousands of student loan borrowers under the Borrower Defense (BD) rule, causing a massive backlog in claims from defrauded borrowers seeking relief. Secretary DeVos has the authority to provide full and immediate relief to students defrauded by predatory for-profit colleges. However, she and her department have refused to do so even after court rulings, student testimony, and the Education Department'sown internal investigationsfound that hundreds of thousands of defrauded students legally qualify for Borrower Defense relief. Secretary DeVos continued to tell Congress that she wants to protect taxpayer dollars from fraudulent student loan forgiveness claims. Rep. Susie Lee highlighted that the real threat to the taxpayer is fraudulent for-profit schools, not students who were defrauded by these very schools: Rep. Lee:You spoke many times today about protecting taxpayer dollars, and I could not agree with you more, yet I'm feeling that a lot of the tension in this room today is because there's concern about protecting taxpayer dollars from frivolous Borrower Defense claims or, like I'd like to focus on, on how do we protect taxpayer dollars from these fraudulent, predatory schools and prevent this from happening before we throw thousands of students into turmoil. So I want to ask you a second question isn't the point of financial responsibility monitoring to predict school closures before they happen so that something can be done proactively to protect the taxpayer dollars from going to those institutions through student loans?

U.S. Rep. Susie Lee (Nev.-03) voted to pass the Elijah E, Cummings Lower Drug Costs Now Act(H.R. 3), sweeping legislation to lower the cost of prescription drugs for all Americans. According to the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office (CBO), under H.R. 3, American families will save $158 billion in lower premiums and out-of-pocket costs, that's $1,920 for every American family of four. American taxpayers will save more than $500 billion. Before passage, Rep. Lee spoke on the House floorin support of H.R. 3, including her bill added as a provision in the underlying bill,the Enhancing Retirement Security for Medicare Beneficiaries Act, which would guarantee that retirement savings aren't counted when determining if someone qualifies for Medicare Part D's Low Income Subsidy (LES) program. This provision will benefit many of the 95,581 residents in Nevada's 3rdDistrict enrolled in a Medicare Part D plan. The following is a transcript of Rep. Lee's remarks: I'm here to speak in support of the Elijah E. Cummings Lower Drug Costs Now Act.

As a young girl, I learned the importance of saving money. My first job was running a paper route in my neighborhood in Canton, Ohio at the age of 8. At the end of every week I'd set a quarter or two aside to save up for a candy bar. It wasn't much, but it taught me something important: that saving money is worth it. Americans shouldn't be punished for saving for their retirement. But when retirement savings is counted toward your eligibility for prescription drug assistance, we are punishing our seniors for working hard and saving money.

Ahead of the busy travel season, today Representative Dina Titus of Nevada's First Congressional District introduced the Travel and Tourism for All Act. The legislation, H.R. 5412, requires the National Council on Disability to make recommendations to Congress intended to ease travel burdens across the United States for individuals with disabilities. Under the legislation, the National Council on Disability will conduct a review and submit a report to Congress on the implementation of the Americans with Disabilities Act and the 2010 Department of Justice ADA Standards for Acceptable Design within the travel, tourism, and hospitality industries. The bill is supported by major disability rights organizations across the country and the comprehensive review it requires would be the first of its kind. People with disabilities should be fully empowered to travel and explore the many exciting tourist destinations across this country, especially Las Vegas, said Congresswoman Titus (NV-1). This bill will help make easier travel for all a reality. Reducing barriers to travel for people with disabilities isn't just the right thing to do it will also help boost local economies like ours that rely on tourism. | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | ||

Today, U.S. Senator Jacky Rosen (D-NV) released the following statement after meeting with Nevada Dreamer Tawheeda Wahabzada. Tawheeda grew up in Carson City, Nevada, and has temporary legal status under the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program. In August, Tawheeda published an op-ed in the New York Times in which she revealed her DACA status and her decision to leave the United States in 2020. Dreamers like Tawheeda have bright futures, are among the best our country has to offer, and now we're losing her as she plans to leave the country to escape a life in limbo, said Senator Rosen. I am thankful for the opportunity to sit down with Tawheeda, listen to her story, and learn her struggles. We must protect and empower Dreamers like her. I will continue fighting to pass comprehensive immigration reform that modernizes our outdated immigration system and protects our Dreamers so they can continue to be a part of our communities. DACA opened doors that allowed me to focus on my dream of pursuing a career in human rights and international affairs, said Tawheeda Wahabzada. Though I do not see a permanent fix in the near horizon, I remain hopeful that, with the support of allies like Senator Rosen, Dreamers like me who have the desire to continue contributing to the United States, the only country we call home, will be given the opportunity to do so. BACKGROUND: Tawheeda was born in Toronto and was brought to the United States at age five by her parents, who were refugees from Afghanistan. She grew up in Carson City, from kindergarten until she left for college to the University of Nevada, Reno, where she graduated with a degree in international affairs and French. Because of DACA, she was able to obtain her driver's license and later her master's degree from the Lyndon B. Johnson School of Public Affairs at the University of Texas at Austin. She currently works as a senior researcher at a nonprofit organization based in Washington D.C.

Today, U.S. Senators Jacky Rosen (D-NV) and Roger Wicker (R-MS) were joined by Senators Maggie Hassan (D-NH) and Mitt Romney (R-UT) in introducing the bipartisan, bicameral Teacher Education for Computer Science Act (Teach CS Act), legislation that would support teacher training and schools in educating students in the area of computer science. The Senators introduced this bill during Computer Science Education Week, which is observed each year during the week of December 9th, to raise awareness about and encourage students to explore computer science. As a former computer programmer, I understand firsthand the value in computer science and how education in this field can open doors for students who are looking to pursue a career in STEM, said Senator Rosen. I'm working to extend educational opportunities to our students in Nevada and across the country, and that's why I'm helping introducing the bipartisan Teach CS Act, a bill that will provide teachers and schools with the resources and preparations needed to provide our children with a 21st century education. Addressing America's critical shortage of computer science graduates starts in the classroom, said Senator Wicker. This legislation would make targeted changes to existing teacher education programs to place more qualified computer science instructors in our schools. We need to make sure our kids have the tools they need to succeed in the 21st century global economy, said Senator Romney. Our legislation will strengthen computer science curriculums in Utah and around the country and create more opportunities for students to gain important skills which our changing workforce demands. BACKGROUND: The Teach CS Act would amend the Higher Education Act (HEA) to include computer science education eligibility for multiple teacher preparation grants and graduate fellowships, and authorize a new program for competitive grants for eligible institutions of higher education to establish centers of excellence in teacher education progra… | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | ||

Congressman Mark Amodei (NV-02) today released the following statement after voting in favor of H.R. 5038, the Farm workforce Modernization Act of 2019, a bipartisan piece of legislation that would establish a new employment-based immigration program for agricultural workers, requiring significant past and future work commitments, to ensure the stability of American agriculture. This legislation has the support of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, the support of more than 300 agricultural and agribusiness associations, and was developed through an exhaustive process which included input from agricultural stakeholders and labor organizations. I've been around long enough to know the standard talking point critics will be out in full force following today's vote. However, as has always been my practice, I've taken a deeper dive on this bill rather than relying on surface-level talking points. One of my specific reasons for supporting this bill, includes the reforms being made to wage inflation for the H-2A program, capping the annual growth of the Adverse Effect Wage Rate (AEWR) for 10 years. In Nevada, double-digit AEWR increases in recent years have put a squeeze on agricultural employers that use the H-2A program, and I've heard strong support for the decade of wage stability and predictability this bill will provide. When it comes to criminal concerns, which are always one of my top priorities, there is nothing in this bill that prohibits the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) from reporting all property and personal offences to state and local law enforcement and all felony infractions to federal law enforcement. With respect to green cards, between the various waiting periods proposed in this legislation, a green card would have to be earned over a period of 9-14 years. This reform will also go a long way in alleviating labor shortages for producers who face year-round needs, like the dairy industry.

I'm voting for the defense authorization bill because it provides a needed pay raise to support our brave service members and their families, secures paid leave for those in federal service and funds vital resources to protect our national security, Congressman Steven Horsford (NV-04) said. I'm pleased that we secured increased funding to Nellis Air Force Base which is home to nearly 10,000 service members and serves an integral role in the southern Nevada community. This bill includes concrete measures to improve the lives of our service members and their families, eliminates wasteful spending, promotes a more inclusive military by reinforcing the values of diversity, and solidifies Congress' oversight role of defense programs and the authorization to use military force. In addition to a 3.1 percent raise for all service members, the National Defense Authorization Act will improve the lives of Nevada's military families and for service members across the country: Provides a 3.1 percent pay raise: The bill recognizes the hard work of our dedicated service members and provides them with a 3.1 percent pay increase. Implements paid parental leave for federal employees: The bill provides federal workers with 12 weeks paid parental leave in the case of birth, adoption or fostering. This brings civilian parental leave benefits more in line with what military personnel receive. This could also result in cost savings in terms of retention rates and can help recruit talent. Repeals the Widow's Tax: The bill allows the spouse of a service member who is killed in action to receive both Dependency and Indemnity Compensation (DIC) and Survivor Benefit Plan (SBP) benefits in full.

Today, Congressman Steven Horsford (NV-04) took part in a Ways and Means Committee markup of the Restoring Tax Fairness for States and Localities Act, an important step to reverse the cap on the deduction for State and Local Taxes (SALT). This Restoring Fairness for States and Localities Act addresses many shortcomings of the destructive Republicans' Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, which, rather than devote resources to making wise investments in our workers and small businesses, further burdened working families, endangers Americans' retirement security, and gave tax breaks to large corporations and the richest Americans while penalizing America's workers. Congressman Horsford spoke about his recently-introduced Support American Teachers Act of 2019, which will increase the existing the current $250 deduction expense to $500 for teachers. On average, teachers in Clark County School Districtthe fifth-largest in the country, which Congressman Horsford representsspend $750 out-of-pocket on school supplies for their classrooms. Congressman Horsford shared the story of kindergarten teacher Kaitlyn Cline of Las Vegas, who spends $1,000 per year for her class at Kay Carl Elementary School in Nevada's Fourth Congressional District.

U.S. Rep. Susie Lee (Nev.-03) helped pass the John S. McCain National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) to fund the Department of Defense (DOD), and support expenditures and policy that support US servicemembers, veterans, and national security. The House adopted and passed threebipartisanamendments as part of the Fiscal Year 2020 NDAA that Rep. Lee introduced and supported. All three amendments help improve veteran health care by ensuring that Veterans Affairs (VA) and DOD Interagency Program Office implement an effective Electronic Health Records (EHR) system, so our veterans can get the health care they deserve. I'm proud to support our armed services and protect our national security by voting to pass the NDAA for fiscal year 2020,said Rep. Lee.Along with strengthening our national defense at home and abroad, this bill also includes a well-deserved 3.1 percent pay raise for all U.S. servicemembers,12 full weeks of paid parental leave for federal workers,andtherepeal of the harmful widow's tax,' an unfair tax on spouses of deceased military members.These priorities make it clear that Congress will support our servicemembers, veterans, and their families both on and off the battle field. Along with supporting our military and servicemembers, we have an obligation to help our veterans get the care and services they earned protecting our freedom,Rep. Lee continued.If we're going to fulfill that duty, then veterans transitioning from service to civilian life should be confident that their health records will transition seamlessly with them. My three bipartisan amendments that passed as part of the NDAA today will hold VA accountable for effectively modernizing their Electronic Health Records program, by giving them the guidance and structure they've been lacking.I urge all of my Senate colleagues to support this bill and show the American people that there is nothing partisan about supporting our men and women in uniform.

Today, U.S. Senator Jacky Rosen (D-NV), a member of the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, & Transportation, and the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pensions (HELP), released the following statement announcing her donation of twenty-five computers to five Nevada schools. It's important that we work to provide our children with the tools they need to thrive in an increasingly technological world, said Senator Rosen. I'm proud to take part in this excellent program and that some of our U.S. Senate computers will be put to good use to support students throughout Nevada. I will continue to work on forward-thinking legislation, like my bipartisan Building Blocks of STEM ACT, that provides our children with the skills needed to succeed in a 21st Century economy. We are very appreciative of Senator Rosen's donation to our school, said Lenette Reece, Principal of Richard J. Rundle Elementary School. The five computers were placed in two 4th grade classrooms. They are used with our English Language Learner (ELL) students to facilitate their language acquisition. These computers are also utilized for students to collaborate using Google classroom and digital production applications. With the world focused on technology, our students need to know how to maneuver through the technology world safely. These computers have helped our 4th grade students move in that direction. Our students are very appreciative of the gift of five computers we received from Senator Rosen's office, said Vanessa Altfas, Principal of James Bilbray Elementary School. The computers have been added in our computer lab, allowing a full set of computers to be utilized by our 3rd, 4th and 5th grade classes. Our computer lab is utilized by all students for reading and math intervention lab, keyboarding and technology skills as well as to complete online software programs, such as Moby Max and Khan Academy.

I had a productive meeting with DHS Inspector General, Dr. Joseph Cuffari in my office today, said Senator Rosen. During our conversation, I followed up on my letter from last week and reiterated my request for an investigation into allegations of improper political interference in the termination of TPS designations for El Salvador, Nicaragua, Haiti, Sudan, and requested that the termination of designations for Honduras and Nepal also be included in that investigation. I will continue working with the Inspector General to ensure his office has the resources it needs to investigate allegations of misconduct and abuse at CBP and ICE facilities, and across DHS. BACKGROUND: More than 4,000 individuals with TPS status live in Nevada. Currently, there are approximately 420,000 TPS recipients in the United States from ten designated countries including El Salvador, Haiti, Honduras, Nepal, Nicaragua, Somalia, Sudan, South Sudan, Syria, and Yemen. Liberians, originally granted TPS in 1999, are currently the only country protected by DED that status is set to terminate on March 30, 2020. Last week, Rosen sent a letter to Inspector General Joseph Cuffari requesting an investigation into allegations of improper political interference in the decision by DHS to terminate TPS designations for El Salvador, Nicaragua, Haiti, and Sudan.

Today, Senator Jacky Rosen (D-NV) released the following statement in response to the confirmation of Lawrence VanDyke to a Nevada seat on the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit: I am deeply disappointed to see Mr. VanDyke confirmed to a Nevada seat on the Ninth Circuit, said Senator Rosen. Mr. VanDyke's lack of ties to Nevada, Not Qualified rating from the ABA, extreme views, and history of problematic statements and partisan writings are disqualifying for this lifetime role on one of the highest courts in the nation. It is my hope that Mr. VanDyke will put aside his ideological agenda and work to serve the people of Nevada in good faith, and with equal treatment under the law for all. BACKGROUND: Senator Rosen announced her opposition to Mr. VanDyke's nomination after reviewing his record, meeting with him privately, reviewing his testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee on October 30, 2019, and considering a letter from the American Bar Association rating Mr. VanDyke Not Qualified for a federal judicial seat. In October, Senator Rosen, along with Senator Cortez Masto (D-NV), announced the launch of their bipartisan Northern Nevada and Southern Nevada Judicial Commissions. The Senators created two five-member commissions, one in southern Nevada and one in northern Nevada. ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | ||

It is well past time that Congress considered a hemispheric trade agreement between the U.S., Mexico, and Canada that reflects the modernization of our economy. Despite cynicism and significant challenges, Chairman Neal and the working group proved that through hard work and perseverance, anything is possible. Now that this important first step of an improved USMCA has been agreed upon with the Trump Administration, I'm ready to focus our next efforts on investing in skills training for American workers. I've talked to Chairman Neal about approaches this Congress can take to make sure American workers have the skills they need to compete and acquire well-paid, secure employment in our 21st-century economy. | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | ||

The Senate is expected to vote on Mr.VanDyke'sjudicial nomination this Thursday, Dec. 12. Rep. Lee authored anop-ed piece in the Las Vegas Sunoutlining the reasons why Mr.VanDykeis unfit to hold a federal judgeship position, highlighting his extensive history of anti-LGBTQ+ beliefs and legal decisions. In her op-ed, Rep. Lee wrote: A good and fair judge cannot be corrupted by hateful thinking or personal vendettas. That's why LawrenceVanDyke'slooming nomination to the 9th Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals should scare all of us. When it comes toVanDyke'sunsettling record on LGBTQ issues, he has a long and persistent view that marriage equality is somehow harmful. In 2004, he asserted that same-sex marriage will hurt families, and consequentially children and society.' When senators pressed him on whether he still holds these views,VanDykerefused to disavow his position in both his hearing and in his responses to the questions for the record. To add insult to injury,VanDykehas maintained a long affiliation with extreme anti-LGBTQ groups like the Alliance Defending Freedom, an organization notorious for its campaigns against the LGBTQ community. Weurge our Senate colleagues to reject this nomination and uphold their duty to preserve a fair and impartial court system for all Americans, regardless of who they are and who they love. Rep. Lee also authored alettersigned by 69 of her House colleagues, including Reps. Dina Titus (Nev.-01) and Steven Horsford (Nev.-04)--to Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, urging them to reject his nomination.

When he got caught, he engaged in a major cover-up by directing his subordinates to ignore subpoenas and withhold key documents from Congress. The two articles of impeachment introduced today are intended to prevent President Trump from continuing to ignore the Constitution and undermine our democracy.

Today, Senator Jacky Rosen (D-NV) delivered remarks on the Senate floor in opposition to the nomination of Lawrence VanDyke to a Nevada seat on the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit. The Senator discussed her concerns about VanDyke's lack of ties to Nevada, his record of ideological legal work, and his rating of Not Qualified by the American Bar Association. It's unfortunate to see this chamber disregard Nevada's voice and move forward with Mr. VanDyke's nomination, said Senator Rosen. The state of Nevada has numerous qualified lawyers and judges who have done good work, have good reputations in our communities, and are non-partisan. Any of these candidates would make excellent additions to the Ninth Circuit. No matter who is President or who controls the Senate, you would want qualified judges with connections to the state, who will be fair to your constituents, and not use cases to advance their personal ideological agenda. Mr. VanDyke fails this basic standard, and as such I oppose his nomination to a Nevada Seat of the Ninth Circuit. BACKGROUND: Senator Rosen announced her opposition to Mr. VanDyke's nomination after reviewing his record, meeting with him privately, reviewing his testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee on October 30, 2019, and considering a letter from the American Bar Association rating Mr. VanDyke Not Qualified for a federal judicial seat. Throughout the White House's selection process, Senators Cortez Masto and Rosen repeatedly voiced concerns about Mr. VanDyke's lack of ties to Nevada. The two Senators wrote to the Judiciary Committee in advance of his confirmation hearing: Selecting an outside political operative with limited ties to the state, whose colleagues challenged his work ethic and temperament, is a disservice to our constituents, and sets a dangerous precedent going forward. In October, Senator Rosen, along with Senator Cortez Masto (D-NV), announced the launch of their bipartisan Northern Nev… | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | ||

Today, U.S. Senator Jacky Rosen (D-NV), a member of the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, & Transportation, and the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pensions (HELP), released the following statement celebrating Computer Science Education Week, which is observed each year during the week of December 9th, to raise awareness about and encourage students to explore computer science. Before coming to Congress I worked as a computer programmer, said Senator Rosen. Computer Science Education Week is an opportunity to support and encourage our students to pursue an education in STEM. By instilling computer science skills in our children, we are preparing them to thrive in an increasingly technological world. I'm proud to have introduced legislation like my Building Blocks of STEM Act, which will help to increase participation in STEM and computer science, and I will continue to develop forward-thinking legislation that provides our children with the skills needed to succeed. BACKGROUND: Earlier this year, Rosen introduced the bipartisan, bicameral Building Blocks of STEM Act, S. 737, alongside Senators Shelley Moore Capito (R-WV), Brian Schatz (D-HI), Marsha Blackburn (R-TN), Catherine Cortez Masto (D-NV), and Deb Fischer (R-NE). The bill would create and expand upon STEM education initiatives at NSF for young children, including new research grants to increase the participation of girls in computer science. In September, Rosen's Building Blocks of STEM Act passed the Senate, and earlier this week the Building Blocks of STEM Act passed the House. In July, Rosen introduced the bipartisan JROTC Cyber Training Act, S. 2154, which would direct the Secretary of Defense to carry out a program to enhance the preparation of students in the Junior Reserve Officers' Training Corps (JROTC) for careers in computer science and cybersecurity. ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | ||

On Friday, December 6, 2019, Congressman Steven Horsford (NV-04) introduced legislation to put money back in the pockets of our country's teachers. The bill, The Support American Teachers Act of 2019, would increase the existing the current $250 deduction expense to $500 for teachers. Teachers spend hundreds of dollars every year out of their own pockets to ensure that their students have access to the books, supplies, and tools they need to have the best education possible. With this bill, we are telling teachers that we see their sacrifice and are working to put money back in their pockets, Congressman Horsford said. In 2017, 24,750 educators in Nevada claimed the educator expense deduction for out-of-pocket classroom expenses. On average, teachers in Clark County School District, the fifth-largest in the country, spend $750 out-of-pocket on school supplies for their classrooms. Kaitlyn Cline, a kindergarten teacher at Kay Carl Elementary School in Las Vegas, spends up to $1,000 per year out of her own pocket to give her class the education experience they deserve. As a teacher, I have to work extra on the side to help pay my bills and have extra money for work expenses. Any extra financial relief that can be utilized can make a huge difference, Kaitlyn said. | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | ||

Lee, Colleagues Unveil Bill to Streamline Permitting for Residential Clean Energy Systems | 2019-12-09 | 2019 | 2019-12 | Democrat | House | NV | Susie Lee | L000590 | susielee.house.gov | legacy | Washington, D.C. U.S. Reps.Susie Lee (Nev.-03),Paul D.Tonko(N.Y.-20), and Jeff Fortenberry (Neb.-01)announced last Friday, Dec. 6, the introduction ofH.R. 5335, the American Energy Opportunity Act, which would provide the tools for local municipalities to streamline permitting processes for distributed energy systems. These systems include rooftop solar, small wind power, residential battery storage, hydrogen fuel cells, and level 2 electric vehicle charging. Southern Nevadahas ledthe way in solar energy development and installation,said Rep. Lee. There is so much more opportunity to further develop renewable energy, yet some obstacles are slowing such development. Permitting and installing renewable energy systems is too expensive for many businesses and families. Distributed energy systems can help streamline and simplify solar energy permitting so more households and businesses can access affordable opportunities to make the switch to solar. This bipartisan bill helps both businesses and households save money while reducing our carbon footprint. What could be better? Distributed energy systems present numerous untapped opportunities for American households and the economy, yet high permitting costs and complicated installations are preventing many from making the investment,said Rep.Tonko. Standardizing this process and making installation more affordable would give Americans the freedom to choose their energy systems. The American Energy Opportunity Act cuts through the unnecessary red tape preventing households from generating their own electricity and helping to reduce their carbon footprints. Our bipartisan legislation will help consumers and businesses alike advance their clean energy agendas while saving thousands. This legislation is a critical bridge towards a more sustainable energy future, saidRep. Fortenberry. By streamlining the permit process for distributed energy systems, we create a powerful incentive for individuals to do the right thing. This bill is a win-win-win for consumers, local govern… | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | ||

Today, during National Computer Science Education Week, U.S. Senator Jacky Rosen (D-NV), a member of the Committee on Commerce, Science, & Transportation, released the following statement announcing that her bipartisan Building Blocks of STEM Act has passed the United States House of Representatives, and is now headed to the President's desk to be signed into law. I'm glad to see that the legislation I've introduced is now one step closer to being signed into law, said Senator Rosen. My bipartisan Building Blocks of STEM Act will help prepare our girls for success in a 21st century economy by providing them with a 21st century education. I will continue working to ensure that our students are given access to STEM education, and that we take additional, much-needed steps to close the STEM gender gap. BACKGROUND: In March, Rosen introduced the bipartisan, bicameral Building Blocks of STEM Act, S. 737, alongside Senators Shelley Moore Capito (R-WV), Brian Schatz (D-HI), Marsha Blackburn (R-TN), Catherine Cortez Masto (D-NV), and Deb Fischer (R-NE). The bill would create and expand upon STEM education initiatives at NSF for young children, including new research grants to increase the participation of girls in computer science.

As I look out at all of the graduates here today, it excites me to think about where you are heading next in your journey to discover your higher purpose, a higher purpose that you can chase after, one that you can aspire to. Some of you may decide to continue your education, some of you may work -- here in Nevada, or somewhere else -- although I hope it's Nevada. Because having spent time here, you know just how wonderful our state is, and your contributions will keep lifting us higher, said Senator Rosen. In every field you enter, you will have opportunities to help others, sometimes in big ways, and sometimes in small ones. I want to make a request of the graduates here today. I ask all of you, and everyone in the audience here as well, to seize those opportunities. Never be afraid or apathetic to the idea of helping another person. You never know how your actions might touch the lives of others, even those you've never met. Congratulations, Class of 2019. I know you'll continue to make Nevada proud. ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | ||
| https://horsford.house.gov/media/press-releases/congressman-steven-horsford-votes-defend-voting-rights | Congressman Steven Horsford Votes to Defend Voting Rights | 2019-12-06 | 2019 | 2019-12 | Democrat | House | NV | Steven Horsford | H001066 | horsford.house.gov | legacy | Washington, D.C. On Friday, December 6, 2019, Congressman Steven Horsford (NV-04) voted to pass H.R. 4, the Voting Rights Advancement Act, to restore the strength of the Voting Rights Act to combat voter discrimination. Congressman Horsford is an original cosponsor of the bill. Congress has a responsibility to make sure all Americans can exercise their voting rights. More than 50 years after passage of the Voting Rights Act, Americans still face discriminatory voting practices at the polls. This bill bolsters protections against discriminatory voting practices in the face of narrowed voting windows, closing polling places, and the creation of new barriers to voting across the country, Congressman Horsford said. Voter suppression campaigns are silencing the voices of American voters, particularly communities of color. Americans fought hard for protections against discriminatory voting practices. Today, Congress has honored their sacrifice. The Supreme Courts' 2013 Shelby County v. Holder ruling struck down Section 4(b) of the Voting Rights Act of 1965, which outlined the qualifications needed to determine which states are required by the Justice Department to pre-clear elections changes in states with a history of voter discrimination. Since the Shelby decision, nearly two-dozen states have implemented restrictive voter ID laws and previously-covered states have closed or consolidated polling places, shortened early voting and imposed other measures that restrict voting. The Voting Rights Advancement Act seeks to restore the VRA by developing a process to determine which states must pre-clear election changes with the Department of Justice. It will also require a nationwide, practice-based pre-clearance of known discriminatory practices, including the creation of at-large districts, inadequate multilingual voting materials and cuts to polling places. | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | ||

U.S. Rep. Susie Lee (Nev.-03) helped theU.S.House of Representatives passH.R. 4, the Voting Rights Advancement Act, introduced by Rep. Terri Sewell (Ala.-07). Thisbipartisanbillfinally restores the full strength of the original bipartisan Voting Rights Act of 1965 with increased election transparency and provisions to fight voter discrimination. The right to vote is a cornerstone of our democracy,said Rep. Lee.Our Founding Fathers crafted the Constitution with this basic fact in mind, knowing that democracies live or die by the integrity of their elections. Unfortunately, American elections have never been truly equal across race, ZIP code, and socioeconomic status. While the 14th, 15th, and 19thAmendments granted minority groups and women the right to vote, they still did not give many Americans equalaccessto exercise that right. To this day, communities across America are fighting discriminatory obstacles to voting, which is not just unfair, it's un-American. The bipartisan Voting Rights Advancement Act helps tackle voter suppression head-on, fulfilling the Constitution's promise thatevery American has an equal voice in our democracy. BACKGROUND:An extensive review by the House Judiciary Committeefound that, since theShelby Countydecision in 2013, at least 23 states have enacted newly restrictive statewide voting laws, including: Burdensome voter registration barriers; Unfairly purging voters from rolls; Curtailing of early voting hours; and Moving or eliminating polling places. This bill includes important provisions to reinstate voter protections, including: Allowsa federal court to order states or jurisdictions to be covered for results-based violations, wherethe effect of a particular voting measure is racial discrimination in voting and denying citizens their right to vote; Increases transparency by requiring reasonable public notice for voting changes; Allows the Attorney General authority to request the presence of federal observers anywhere in the country where there is a ser… | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | ||

WASHINGTON, D.C. Today, U.S. Senator Jacky Rosen (D-NV), a member of the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pensions (HELP), released the following statement reminding Nevadans to shop for and enroll in health insurance coverage during the current open enrollment period, which ends on December 15. I encourage all Nevadans to visit the Nevada Health Link website during this last week of open enrollment to sign up for quality, affordable health care and start the new year covered, said Senator Rosen. No issue is more important to families than protecting their access to health care. I'll continue defending protections for Nevadans with pre-existing conditions while working to lower health care costs and stabilize our markets. BACKGROUND: Open enrollment occurs only once per year and individuals and families are encouraged to complete their applications to enroll in a Qualified Health Plan by December 15 in order to receive coverage beginning January 1st 2020. There are currently 225,000 uninsured Nevadans who are eligible for assistance through tax credits toward a Nevada Health Link exchange plan, or coverage with Medicaid or the Children's Health Insurance Program. In January, as one of her first actions in the Senate, Senator Rosen joined Senator Joe Manchin (D-WV) in introducing a resolution that would authorize Senate Legal Counsel to intervene in Texas v. United States a pending lawsuit in federal court, on behalf of the U.S. Senate, in order to defend the constitutionality of the Affordable Care Act and its coverage protections for people with pre-existing conditions. Earlier this year, the Trump Administration filed a brief in this case calling for the courts to strike down the ACA in its entirety. Last Congress, then-Congresswoman Rosen introduced the same resolution in the House.

Today, U.S. Senator Jacky Rosen (D-NV), a member of the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee (HSGAC), released the following statement in response to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Inspector General report on family separations: The report published by the DHS Office of the Inspector General is deeply disturbing. It reveals that this Administration implemented its family separation policy fully aware that it would be impossible in some cases to reunite children they tore from their families. Yet this inhumane policy, which goes against our core American values, was still allowed to move forward, said Senator Rosen. This is unacceptable. I will continue to press this Administration for answers and to demand accountability. Congress must act to finally pass bipartisan comprehensive immigration reform that strengthens our border security while allowing for humane asylum laws. BACKGROUND: In May, Senator Rosen questioned then-DHS Acting Secretary Kevin McAleenan on misleading statements DHS officials made to Senator Rosen and Congressman Salud Carbajal (D-CA-24) during their 2018 visit to the US-Mexico Border. Senator Rosen and Congressman Carbajal traveled together to Texas to visit a facility housing unaccompanied immigrant minors in Tornillo and U.S. Custom and Border Protection's Paso del Norte Processing Center in El Paso. DHS and HHS personnel assured them that their agencies had the information and resources needed to reunite separated migrant families. The Inspector General report offers further evidence that the Trump Administration misled Members of Congress as well as the general public about their intent to inflict cruelty on vulnerable children. In June, Rosen led 17 of her colleagues in sending a letter to then-DHS Acting Secretary Kevin McAleenan, raising concerns about a recent Office of Inspector General report detailing severe and dangerous overcrowding of migrants at El Paso Del Norte Processing Center during unannounced inspections conducted… | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | ||

Today, U.S. Senator Jacky Rosen (D-NV) released the following statement in response to a new report from the Solar Energy Industries Association highlighting the damages caused by the Trump Administration's solar tariffs, including a loss of more than 62,000 jobs nationwide and nearly $19 billion in new investments to U.S. companies. This Administration's tariff policy has caused real harm to the U.S. solar industry and clean energy development, said Senator Rosen. In Nevada, and across the country, we are seeing the negative effects that these tariffs are having on both workers and businesses. We should be supporting the more than 6,500 solar energy workers in our state, not putting their jobs at risk. I will continue to oppose legislation that hinders clean energy progress, and support commonsense plans that strengthen clean energy. BACKGROUND: Earlier this year, Senator Rosen announced her original co-sponsor of the Renewable Energy Extension Act, legislation that would extend solar and clean energy tax incentives set to expire at the end of 2019. Last Congress, as a member of the House, Rosen introduced the bipartisan Protecting American Solar Jobs Act (H.R. 5571) which would repeal the Administration's 30% tariff on imported solar panels and modules. Nevada is home to the most solar jobs per capita in the United States. According to the Solar Foundation, nearly 95% of these jobs are in installation, distribution, operations, and maintenance, and almost one in ten solar workers in Nevada is a veteran. ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | ||

Congressman Steven Horsford (NV-04) released the following statement after the Trump Administration issued a final rule that increases onerous work requirements for hungry Americans relying on the lifeline of Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) and weakens states' ability to provide food assistance in high-unemployment areas, and threatens the benefits of 2.1 million Americans: With this rule, the Trump administration is taking food from the tables of our poorest and most vulnerable Nevadans, Congressman Horsford said. Hungry families have told the USDA, through tens of thousands of public comments, that this rule would cut life-saving nutrition assistance at a time when they need it most. This rule shows the administration's shocking and inhumane disregard for the health and well-being of millions of Americans and 129,078 Nevada households who rely on SNAP benefits to put food on the table. The truth is many SNAP recipients are either attempting to find work or face hardships that prevent them from doing so. This administration would rather demonize them than help them. | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | ||

U.S. Rep. Susie Lee (Nev.-03) helped the House of Representatives passthe bipartisan Insider Trading Prohibition Act, H.R. 2534, introduced by Rep. Jim Himes (Conn.-04). For decades, the crime of insider trading has remained ambiguously defined under federal law. This bill would explicitly prohibit and codify illegal insider trading as trading a security based on material, nonpublic information that was wrongfully obtained. Insider trading has rigged the system in favor of shady investors and at the expense of hard-working, honest investors, said Rep. Lee. Fordecades, these scammershave taken advantage of the fact that insider trading is not clearly defined or strongly enforced. The bipartisan Insider Trading Prohibition Act changes that by making it clear to all would-be fraudsters that Democrats and Republicans in Congress will not turn its back on serious crimes that hurt our economy and working families.

Rep. Lee highlighted the fact thatdelivery of essential VA services, including veteran health services, relies onan outdated, inefficient financialmanagementInformation Technology (IT) system, which makes itharder for veterans to get the care they need: Like many federal agencies, the Department of Veterans Affairs is on a necessary, but challenging journey to update its aging and antiquated IT systems. Many of these systems are not visible to the average observer, but they are critical systems that support the backbone of VA operations, and without them VA cannot deliver the care and services that our veterans have earned. A veteran may not directly touch the systems that support financial management, but these systems touch almost every aspect of VA operations. They are what ensures that VA gets the bills paid correctly and on time. They are how VA ensures that programs have the resources they need to provide important services. The current condition of these systems leaves VA vulnerable to risk, cybersecurity problems, and bad financial decisions. In turn, these conditions can lead to harm to veterans and their families. The need to replace these legacy systems is clear, but the ongoing effort to do this raises questions about whether VA is approaching this modernization effort in an efficient and effective way.

Today, U.S. Senator Jacky Rosen (D-NV), a member of the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee (HSGAC), sent a letter to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Inspector General Joseph Cuffari requesting an investigation into allegations of improper political interference in the decision by DHS to terminate Temporary Protected Status (TPS) designations for El Salvador, Nicaragua, Haiti, and Sudan. More than 4,000 individuals with TPS status live in Nevada. Allegations of improper political interference by the White House in DHS decision-making on TPS designations are based on documents produced by DHS in the course of litigation. In a lawsuit brought by TPS holders and their U.S. citizen children seeking relief from DHS's abrupt and arbitrary policy shift, one federal court wrote that TPS beneficiaries and their children indisputably will suffer irreparable harm and great hardship absent court relief from the Trump Administration's actions. That same court, in an order halting the terminations of TPS designation, found that DHS, in deciding to terminate the TPS status of El Salvador, Nicaragua, Haiti, and Sudan, changed the criteria applied by the prior administrations, and did so without any explanation or justification in violation of the Administrative Procedure Act, which prohibits arbitrary and capricious actions by federal agencies, including DHS. Other publicly available information shows a pattern of politically-motivated decision-making regarding TPS, wrote Senator Rosen. DHS is charged with ensuring the safety and security of the homeland, managing border security, administering immigration laws, and preventing terrorism. It is imperative that the Office of the Inspector General investigate the role that political considerations and interagency pressures play in agency decisions that affect some of the most vulnerable people in the U.S. and our national security.

Congressman Steven Horsford (NV-04) joined Congressman Jeff Van Drew (NJ-02) and Congresswoman Doris Matsui (CA-06) in introducing the Fair Indexing for Health Care Act to reduce out-of-pocket costs by reversing the administration's rule that would make fewer Americans eligible for the Affordable Care Act's (ACA) premium tax credits and cause those who are eligible to receive less in tax credit support. While the Democratic majority continues to fight to lower health care costs for Americans across the country, we are simultaneously tasked with protecting American families from harmful policies put in place by the current administration. In this case, we are fighting against a biased policy that hurts families accessing their health care through the Affordable Care Act, Congressman Horsford said. The Fair Indexing for Health Care Act would save families in my district, and across the country, from unjust out-of-pocket charges on their health care purchased under the Affordable Care Act. No parent or individual should bear the burden of unfair tax policies or increased out-of-pocket limits on their care and I am proud to sponsor legislation that protects access to affordable health care. Nearly 84,000 individuals and families enroll in health insurance via the Affordable Care Act. In April 2019, the Trump administration changed the index by which eligibility for the ACA's premium tax credits and maximum out-of-pocket limits are set each year, creating a 2.5 percent increase in the maximum out-of-pocket limit on health care costs for those Nevadans and others across the country who rely on the ACA for their health care. That amounts to a $200 increase in the cap on out-of-pocket costs for individuals and a $400 per year increase for families. The Fair Indexing for Health Care Affordability Act is a simple, common-sense solution that will protect costs and make health care more accessible for South Jersey individuals and families, said Congressman Van Drew. We should be working on solutions to lowe… | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | ||

Today Representative Dina Titus of Nevada's First Congressional District, a Member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee which helped conduct the impeachment inquiry, released the following statement in response to the Trump-Ukraine Impeachment Inquiry Report: Our impeachment inquiry report explains in startling detail the months-long effort by President Trump to use the powers of the presidency to solicit foreign interference in the 2020 election, said Congresswoman Titus (NV-1). There is overwhelming evidence that President Trump abused his power and sought to undermine our democracy for his own political gain. As President Trump's nefarious scheme unraveled, he attempted to cover it up by obstructing the impeachment inquiry and demanding that his subordinates ignore subpoenas." These outrageous abuses of power clearly constitute impeachable offenses as outlined by the Founding Fathers. I support the next phase in this inquiry as we continue to make the strongest possible case to the Senate and the American people. Unlike the President, I take my oath seriously. President Trump's conduct and cover-up will require me to vote for impeachment. | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | ||

Today, U.S. Senators Jacky Rosen (D-NV) and Catherine Cortez Masto (D-NV) released the following statement applauding the National Science Foundation (NSF) for awarding a grant totaling $505,294.00 to the University of Nevada Reno (UNR) to improve air quality modeling and better address the threat of wildfires in the Western United States. Nevada is constantly on guard against the threat that wildfires pose to our state, said the Senators. We applaud NSF for awarding this grant to UNR for greater study of the movement patterns of harmful smoke from wildfires, and the human health effects it can have in our mountainous regions. We will continue working to ensure that Nevadans are provided with the most up-to-date safety measures to protect them from wildfires. BACKGROUND: The NSF grant will help fund a UNR research project, entitled "CAREER: Forecasting Impacts to Reduce Exposure to Smoke (FIRES) - Modeling wildfire smoke transport in the western U.S." Smoke from wildfires is harmful to humans and reducing smoke-related illnesses requires limiting outdoor work and other activities in areas impacted by fire. These areas of impact can extend several hundreds of miles away from the fire, thus accurate prediction is critical to protect human health. Regional scale air models that simulate wildfire smoke transport have significant uncertainties over mountainous terrain due to the complexities of the atmospheric flows and difficulties in estimating smoke plume injection heights. To improve smoke plume forecasts there is a critical need to develop new models that reduce uncertainties associated with both meteorological conditions and emissions modeling. The aim of this research is to use a cross-disciplinary approach to improve our fundamental understanding of wildfire smoke plume dynamics and complex atmospheric flows governing smoke transport over mountainous terrain. Earlier this year, Senators Cortez Masto and Rosen sent a letter to the U.S. Forest Service expressing concerns with the impact th… | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | ||

Lee Helps Sandy Valley General Store Secure Approval as SNAP Retailer | 2019-12-02 | 2019 | 2019-12 | Democrat | House | NV | Susie Lee | L000590 | susielee.house.gov | legacy | CLICK HERE TO WATCH 8 NEWS NOW'S (KLAS) COVERAGE Washington, D.C. U.S.Rep. Susie Lee (Nev.-03) was notified on Friday, Nov. 22, that the Sandy Valley General Store was approved by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) as an authorized Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) retailer, after months of uncertainty about the store's SNAP retailer status. Thirty-four percent of Sandy Valley residents rely on SNAP benefits. In August 2019, the store's application to become an official SNAP retailer was denied, meaning the store could not accept SNAP benefits as a form of payment.As part of that decision-making process, the USDA determined that the store was not in a geographic area with significantly limited access to food. In aNov. 12 letterto USDA Secretary Sonny Perdue, Rep. Lee highlighted that the next nearest SNAP retailer is a gas station and convenience store a 19-mile drive away. Considering 34 percent of Sandy Valley residents rely on SNAP benefits and the area is highly limited intransportation, Rep. Lee argued that Sandy Valley reasonably qualifies as an area with significantly limited access to food and urged the USDA to find a timely path forward to approving Sandy Valley General Store and ensuring residents' access to their only grocery store in town. On Nov. 22, USDA officials informed Rep. Lee that the store was reevaluated and approved as an authorized SNAP retailer on Nov. 17, 2019. Rep. Lee released the following statement in reaction to the news: USDA made the right decision in approving the Sandy Valley General Store as an authorized SNAP retailer. One out of every three Sandy Valley residents relies on SNAP benefits to buy their groceries.Without this store, those residents need to travel 19 miles to buy food at the next-closest SNAP retailer, which is actually a gas station convenience store. No reasonable person should expect a family on a limited budget to travel 38 miles roundtrip every timethey need groceries.

The Nevada Rural Housing Authority provides countless services, ranging from homeowner programs to rental assistance, to the people of our state, said the Senators. We applaud USDA for investing in communities across rural Nevada. This grant will be used to update and repair existing dwellings for future use. We will continue to support programs that provide Nevadans greater access to affordable housing. ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | ||

On Tuesday, November 26, 2019, Congressman Steven Horsford (NV-04)wrote a letterto the Bureau of Land Management in Nevada to oppose an impending oil and gas lease sale on December 17, which includes parcels that could negatively impact drinking water in the City of Mesquite, among other concerns. In Nevada, water is gold; it drives every aspect of economic life and viability. I strongly oppose any action that jeopardizes precious water sources, Congressman Horsford wrote. I request that the BLM give serious weight to the communities who have voiced their concerns and are directly impacted when considering the current and future oil and gas lease sales in Nevada. The current proposed oil and gas lease sale contains parcels that are located above the region's water system's aquifer supply, the sole drinking water source for the City of Mesquite and its neighboring communities. An accident in extraction could threaten the water supply for thousands of Nevadans in the Fourth Congressional District that Congressman Horsford represents. Additionally, the potential contamination of the region's water supply could pose avoidable risks to Nevada's indigenous and tribal communities' lands. The sale could also lead to damage of the wildlife, unique plants and vegetation, and outdoor recreation of the region, a mainstay of Nevada's local economies. Some areas that could be affected by the sale include Great Basin National Park, the Ruby Lake Wildlife Refuge and the Ruby Mountains.

WASHINGTON, D.C. Today, U.S. Senators Jacky Rosen (D-NV) and James Lankford (R-OK) released a video statement condemning anti-Semitism and promoting the goals of their Bipartisan Taskforce for Combating Anti-Semitism. Over the years, we've seen members of our nation's Jewish and our most vulnerable communities experience violence and tragedy. Anti-Semitism is alive around the world and in our own communities said Senator Rosen. That's why we launched the Senate's first-ever Bipartisan Taskforce for Combating Anti-Semitism. The mission of the task force will be to collaborate with law enforcement, the White House, federal agencies, state and local government, educators, advocates, clergy, and any other stakeholders to combat anti-Semitism by educating and empowering our communities. said Senator Lankford.

Today, U.S. Senator Jacky Rosen (D-NV), a member of the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pensions (HELP) and the Special Committee on Aging, and founder of the Senate Comprehensive Care Caucus, released the following statement commemorating National Family Caregivers Month. November marks National Family Caregivers Month, a time to recognize, celebrate, and support the many individuals who provide care to their family members, said Senator Rosen. I know firsthand the joys and the difficulties that family caregivers face, having served in that role to help both my parents and my in-laws through the aging process. I carry the memories from my own experiences, and the stories of constituents caring for their own families. I pledge to continue working to support and empower those who have made the choice to care for their family members. BACKGROUND: Senator Rosen is a co-sponsor of the Credit for Caring Act of 2019 (S.1443), bipartisan legislation which would provide family caregivers with a tax credit to help offset the cost of providing long-term care. In July, Senator Rosen launched the bipartisan Comprehensive Care Caucus, with co-chairs Senators John Barrasso (R-WY), Tammy Baldwin (D-WI), and Deb Fischer (R-NE). The purpose of the Comprehensive Care Caucus is to raise the public's awareness and promote the availability and benefits of palliative care, while also finding bipartisan solutions to expand access to palliative care services, improve coordinated care, and address issues impacting caregivers. ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | ||

WASHINGTON, D.C. Today, U.S. Senator Jacky Rosen (D-NV), a member of the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pensions (HELP), released the following statement reminding Nevadans to shop for and enroll in health insurance coverage during the current open enrollment period which runs now through December 15. Now that the holiday season is here, there's no better time to reflect on things that matter most like family, friends, and of course, our health and well-being, said Senator Rosen. That is why I encourage all Nevadans to visit NevadaHealthLink.com to choose the right health care coverage for themselves and their families for 2020. I will continue fighting to ensure that Nevadans have access to the quality, affordable health care they deserve. BACKGROUND: Open enrollment occurs only once per year and individuals and families are encouraged to complete their applications to enroll in a Qualified Health Plan by December 15 in order to receive coverage beginning January 1st 2020. In January, as one of her first actions in the Senate, Senator Rosen joined Senator Joe Manchin (D-WV) in introducing a resolution that would authorize Senate Legal Counsel to intervene in Texas v. United States a pending lawsuit in federal court, on behalf of the U.S. Senate, in order to defend the constitutionality of the Affordable Care Act and its coverage protections for people with pre-existing conditions. Earlier this year, the Trump Administration filed a brief in this case calling for the courts to strike down the ACA in its entirety. Last Congress, then-Congresswoman Rosen introduced the same resolution in the House. Rosen's House resolution was co-sponsored by the Ranking Members of all House committees of jurisdiction in addition to Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi and Democratic Whip Steny Hoyer.

I am troubled by the EPA's decision to close the Las Vegas Finance Center, particularly given that Congress has not appropriated funds for the EPA to consolidate or close any of its regional offices, wrote Senator Rosen. Moreover, neither the Las Vegas Finance Center's employees nor Congress have been appropriately consulted or informed of the EPA's decision-making process. It also has come to my attention that the EPA has not answered the majority of questions from current LVFC staff surrounding the proposed closure. Therefore, I respectfully request that you provide me with written answers to the following questions: 1.What is the EPA's intent and purpose for consolidating the Las Vegas Finance Center? 2. Who approved this consolidation? 3. Why is the Agency circumventing Congress's reprogramming and reorganizing requirements that prevent it from consolidating the Center? 4. Has the EPA approved the use of internal appropriations for the Center's consolidation? 5. If the costs of operations was a factor in proposing closure, was LVFC management given the opportunity to prepare a plan that would decrease costs and manpower, allowing the office to continue operations? 6. Why was the Nevada Congressional Delegation not consulted in advance of the EPA's announcement? Did the EPA consult with other local stakeholders or impacted communities before making its decision to close a facility where 16 Nevadans work?

U.S.Rep. Susie Lee (Nev.-03) released the following statement in support of H.Res. 727, a bipartisan House Resolution condemning terrorist rocket attacks on Israel and supporting Israel's right to defend itself. Between Nov. 12 and 14, 2019, Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) terrorists in Gaza launched more than 450 rockets at Israel, evacuating homes, schools, and hospitals, and forcing innocent Israelis to flee to bomb shelters. Joining Rep. Lee in support of the resolution are Reps. Josh Gottheimer (N.J.-05) and Lee Zeldin (N.Y.-01), both of whom led the resolution, and Reps. Ted Deutch (Fla.-22), Brad Schneider (Ill.-10), Debbie Wasserman Schultz (Fla.-23), Elaine Luria (Va.-02), Stephanie Murphy (Fla.-07), Max Rose (N.Y.-11), Tom Suozzi (N.Y.-03), Ben McAdams (Utah-04), Anthony Brindisi (N.Y.-22), and Jeff Van Drew (N.J.-02). Earlier this month, I was fortunate to visit Israel with a bipartisan group of my colleagues in Congress, said Rep. Lee. We visited communities, families, schools, and hospitals and gained a deeper understanding of the Israeli people. My main takeaway was that there's no goal more important than peace between Israel and Palestine, as difficult as it may be to achieve. Nothing justifies such heinous attacks on innocent civilians, families, and children, and Israel has every right to defend itself from such terror. I stand with Israel, and my heart goes out to the families targeted by these attacks. When heinous terrorist groups like Palestinian Islamic Jihad fire hundreds of rockets at innocent civilians in Israel, there should be no question who the United States stands with, said Rep. Gottheimer. We must stand with our historic ally, Israel the key democracy in the region. That's why members on both sides of the aisle have come together to support Israel's right to defend itself from terrorist rockets. For more than 70 years, the United States and Israel have fostered and strengthened one of the most extraordinary partnerships of the modern world.

U.S. Rep. Susie Lee (Nev.-03) spoke on the House flooryesterdayin support ofthebipartisanWorkplace ViolencePrevention for Health Care and Social Service Workers Act, introduced by Rep. Joe Courtney (Conn.-02). The bill passed through the U.S.House of Representatives today. The bipartisan bill provides health and social service workers the protection they deserve by compelling the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) to issue rules to protect these workers. Currently, there is no enforceable federal OSHA standard that requires employers to adopt or implement a workplace violence prevention program. It typically takes OSHA decades to issue final standards absent congressional direction. The following is a transcript of Rep. Lee's remarks: Health care and social service workers are some of our most dedicated, least appreciated workers in the country. They are the workers caring for the sick, the elderly, and the most vulnerable Americans while usually making just barely enough money to get by. A tough job is made even tougher by the fact that workers in these industries are four times as likely to be victims of workplace violence. What does it say about our country that we can't protect those who have dedicated their lives to protecting our most vulnerable citizens? Bottom line: no person should feel unsafe in their place of work. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration, or OSHA, has the authority to protect American caregivers and health care workers from workplace violence, but the reality is that there is no nationwide OSHA standard for how employers are supposed to protect their employees from workplace violence. Not just that, but in 24 statesnearly half of the countrypublic sector health and social service workers are not covered by OSHA protections. We have the responsibility, and we have the authority, to protect America's workers, but we have not given our government or our businesses the tools they n… | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | ||

On Thursday, November 21, the Senate will vote on the House-passed Concurrent Resolution to extend funding for the federal government through December 20. The C.R. includes robust funding for the 2020 Census, with $7.284 billion allocated for Periodic Census and Programs. Congressman Steven Horsford (NV-04), chair of the Congressional Black Caucus' 2020 Census task force, voted to approve the C.R. and its census funding earlier this week. Ahead of the Senate vote, Congressman Horsford released the following statement: So much is at stake with the 2020 Census billions of dollars of federal funding for family assistance programs, our schools and universities, transit and infrastructure, health care programs and Medicare and Medicaid. All of these programs stand to be underfunded in our communities if we do not provide enough funding for the Census to complete a full and accurate count next year, Congressman Horsford said. Locking in necessary census funding helps my state and the constituents I have been elected to represent avoid being overlooked. I believe that my colleagues in the Senate will approve this funding to secure not only the accurate allocation of government resources but also the representational power of communities that have been historically undercounted.

On Wednesday, Congressman Steven Horsford (NV-04) gave a statement in the House Budget Committee, laying out the needs for investment in Nevada's students and our nation's young people. In his statement and questioning of the Committee's witnesses, Congressman Horsford highlighted the discrepancies in funding for Nevada's schools. Nevada is home to 416 Title I schools that serve more than 300,000 students. Its largest school district, Clark County School District (CCSD), is the fifth-largest in the U.S. Nearly half of CCSD students are Latino students, and nearly a quarter are limited English proficient. During the 2017-2018 school year, Nevada was supposed to receive $379 million dollars in Title I funding from the federal government. However, the state only received $130 million dollarsalmost a $250 million funding deficit for students that need it the most. As a result, Nevada's schools are suffering from a lack of resources for textbooks, after school programs, or early childhood programs that can improve educational outcomes for Nevada's students. The Congressman also described decades of cuts to various skills training programs, such as the Workforce Innovation Opportunity Act (WIOA) and Perkins Career and Technical Education. WIOA programs received $4.6 billion in the fiscal year 2001. These programs, designed to train the American workforce for the skills they need to succeed in the 21st century, only received $2.8 billion in funding for the fiscal year 2019.

In Nevada, climate change threatens to raise our region's already unsafe temperatures and increase the frequency and intensity of wildfires across the state. But we can do something about it, Congressman Horsford said. I am proud to introduce the 100 Percent Clean Economy Act today because I have a moral obligation to my constituents, the American people, and future generations to combat the climate crisis. Future generations are depending on us to protect public health and the planet. The 100% Clean Economy Act of 2019 would improve the environment and public health of Nevada while positioning Nevada to be a national leader in energy production. Because of Nevada's vast sources of solar and geothermal energy, the state is better positioned than many to be an electricity exporter and provide more affordable energy to Nevada's homes and businesses. All 17 counties in Nevada are home to jobs in clean energy, with 11,000 Nevadans employed in the renewable energy sector. The state stands to gain even more clean energy jobs under this bill. The legislation directs federal agencies to use all existing authorities to put the United States on a path toward meeting the achievable 100 percent clean energy economy goal while remaining technology-neutral. Additionally, it directs the EPA to evaluate agency plans, make recommendations to strengthen them as needed and report each year on progress toward a 100 percent clean energy economy. There are over 140 original co-sponsors and the bill is led by Representatives Donald McEachin (VA-04), Debbie Dingell (MI-… | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | ||

U.S. Rep. Susie Lee (Nev.-03), chair of the House Committee on Veterans' Affairs, Subcommittee on Technology Modernization,led a hearing yesterday on the joint implementation of electronic health record systems by the U.S. Departments of Veterans Affairs (VA) and Defense (DoD). When a servicemember transitions from active duty to civilian life, their health records should move with them from DoD to the VA health care system. The goal of the Electronic Health Record Modernization (EHRM) project is to modernize VA's electronic record system while also improving and optimizing the transition to the VA health care system. The hearing wasthe most recent in a string of hearings held by the Subcommittee on Technology Modernization to oversee the implementation of EHRM. The hearing focused on ensuring that VA is ready to roll out the new system in 2020. Numerous challenges, including joint leadership and accountability at both agencies continue to be a concern for Chairwoman Lee, as VA and DoD have yet to create a permanent office to jointly manage the project. In addition, VA has significant work it still needs to do on development, testing, and training, creating very real concerns that the EHRM program will not be ready for its scheduled March 2020 rollout. Chairwoman Lee outlined these concerns in her opening remarks, while emphasizing that the most important goal is the successful implementation of EHRM without compromising veterans' health care: Today, the Subcommittee continues its oversight of the Department of Veterans Affairs' implementation of the Electronic Health Record Modernization program. We have reached a critical juncture in the implementation we are now a little more than four months from the planned go-live in Spokane, Washington, on March 28, 2020. Over the last 18 months, many activities have occurred in support of this effort. I commend VA for approaching this as more than just an IT upgrade. It is an opportunit… | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | ||

Today, U.S. Senator Jacky Rosen (D-NV) announced her co-sponsorship of the Public Land Renewable Energy Development Act of 2019 (S. 2666), bipartisan legislation that would promote the development of renewable energy on public lands. Nevada's public lands are a source of pride and natural beauty in our state, but they also represent a potential home for clean, renewable power that will benefit Nevada and our country, said Senator Rosen. At a time when we're facing the real, dangerous effects of climate change, we must find policy solutions to embrace clean energy alternatives to curb harmful carbon emissions. This bipartisan legislation would help to identify and advance additional renewable energy projects in wind, solar, and geothermal on federal lands, which make up nearly 80 percent of our state. I will continue to support forward-thinking policies that put us on a pathway towards a clean energy future. BACKGROUND: The Public Land Renewable Energy Development Act of 2019 would require the Department of the Interior to identify priority areas for renewable energy projects to ensure impacts to wildlife and cultural resources are avoided or minimized. This bipartisan bill would also create a Renewable Energy Coordination Office to streamline the permitting process for renewable energy development. Additionally, a portion of the revenue collected from project bonus bids, rentals, fees, or other payments would go to the local communities and state in which the project is located and towards improving public access to public lands for recreational uses. Rosen is also an original co-sponsor of the Renewable Energy Extension Act, legislation that would extend clean energy tax incentives set to expire at the end of 2019, and the Renewable Electricity Standard (RES) Act. This legislation, introduced by Senator Tom Udall (D-NM), would set a federal standard to for renewable electricity generation, requiring states to obtain at least 50% of their electricity from renewables by 2035. ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | ||

Today, U.S. Senator Jacky Rosen (D-NV), a member of the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee (HSGAC), sent a letter to Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Acting Secretary Chad Wolf and Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Acting Commissioner Mark Morgan, following receipt of a report describing CBP's efforts to oversee the health of migrant children. In the letter, Rosen calls on the Department to hire additional pediatricians and medical professionals with specialized pediatric experience to care for migrant children detained in U.S. custody. Your efforts appear to have yielded the placement of only four pediatricians across more than forty-five locations. It is unclear whether these pediatricians are even providing direct clinical care to migrant infants and children, wrote Senator Rosen. This is unacceptable. Our offices have been discussing the need for pediatric medical professionals to care for migrant children at the U.S. southern border since July of this year. The Department must hire additional pediatricians and specialized pediatric medical professionals, with more than cursory basic pediatric training, to ensure the health and wellbeing of migrant infants and children held in CBP custody. BACKGROUND: In May, Senator Rosen questioned then-DHS Acting Secretary Kevin McAleenan on misleading statements DHS officials made to Senator Rosen and Congressman Salud Carbajal (D-CA-24) during their 2018 visit to the US-Mexico Border. Senator Rosen and Congressman Carbajal traveled together to Texas to visit a facility housing unaccompanied immigrant minors in Tornillo and U.S. Custom and Border Protection's Paso del Norte Processing Center in El Paso. DHS and HHS personnel assured them that their agencies had the information and resources needed to reunite separated migrant families. In June, Rosen led 17 of her colleagues in sending a letter to then-DHS Acting Secretary Kevin McAleenan, raising concerns about a recent Office of Inspector General report detailing severe … | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | ||

Today, U.S. Senator Jacky Rosen (D-NV) submitted a statement for the Congressional record Recognizing National Adoption Month, held each November to raise awareness about the urgent need for adoptive families for children and youth in foster care. November is National Adoption Month, a time to recognize and celebrate the many ways that families are created, including through adoption, said Senator Rosen. Every single child deserves a safe, loving, and permanent family. Right now, over 125,000 foster children are eligible for adoption and waiting for their forever family. Over 1,600 of those children live in Nevada. There are children in our communities, waiting to belong, to be loved, and to be a part of what so many of us take for granted. Absolutely no child is unadoptable. By working together, we can achieve a future where every child in our nation knows, without a doubt, they belong and they have a family. ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | ||

WASHINGTON, D.C. Today, U.S. Senator Jacky Rosen (D-NV), a member of the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pensions (HELP), spoke with Dr. Stephen Hahn, the Administration's nominee to serve as the Commissioner of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on the need to advance palliative care as a means to benefit patients. I want to make sure that patients with serious illnesses are treated in a comprehensive way that includes focusing on reducing stress and alleviating pain. I was glad to launch the bipartisan Senate Comprehensive Care Caucus with Senators Barrasso, Baldwin, and Fischer as my co-chairs. We are using this as a way to improve access to palliative care and care coordination, and address issues impacting caregivers, said Senator Rosen. I know the importance of this firsthand, for example, near the end of her life, my mother suffered from a tumor on her spine in need of palliative radiation therapy. This was very important for improving her quality of life. What else could FDA be doing to advance options for palliative care, and how can we balance the variety of patient needs, including that of palliative care, when we look at how FDA evaluates drugs and devices for safety and efficacy? asked Senator Rosen. BACKGROUND: According to the National Institute on Aging, palliative care can be helpful at any stage of illness and is best provided from the point of diagnosis. Palliative care works well alongside curative treatment for a range of conditions and helps complete the circle of meeting a patient's needs as a whole. Reduced discomfort and disability, better care coordination, and improved outcomes are all positive aspects of integrating palliative care. In July, Senator Rosen launched the bipartisan Comprehensive Care Caucus, with co-chairs Senators John Barrasso (R-WY), Tammy Baldwin (D-WI), and Deb Fischer (R-NE). The purpose of the Comprehensive Care Caucus is to raise the public's awareness and promote the availability and benefits of … | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | ||
| https://www.rosen.senate.gov/rosen-announces-endorsements-her-bipartisan-gi-bill-planning-act | Rosen Announces Endorsements of her Bipartisan GI Bill Planning Act | 2019-11-20 | 2019 | 2019-11 | Democrat | House | NV | Jacky Rosen | R000608 | www.rosen.senate.gov | legacy | WASHINGTON, D.C. Today, U.S. Senator Jacky Rosen (D-NV), a member of the USO Congressional Caucus, released the following statement announcing a slate of endorsements of her bipartisan GI Bill Planning Act of 2019 (S. 2830): Over 225,000 veterans live in Nevada who have made great sacrifices for the Silver State and our nation, said Senator Rosen. I am proud to see such strong support for my bipartisan bill that would provide new recruits with additional time to pick their preferred GI Bill benefits plan, instead of having to do so upon arrival at Basic Training, which is a deliberately chaotic environment with little opportunity for recruits to make an informed decision about their future. I will continue working on forward-thinking legislation that improves the lives of our heroes and their families. Currently tens thousands of new military recruits enroll every year in the Montgomery GI Bill program, and the overwhelming amount of service members will never use this benefit. The first few days of recruit training is a chaotic period, and it is not the time to discuss the specific differences between the Post 9/11, and the Montgomery GI Bill, said Pat Murray, VFW's Deputy Director. Many VFW members have stated if they knew more about the Montgomery GI Bill they may not have opted to pay $1,200 for a program they would never use. This proposal would allow service members additional time to understand the nuances between the two chapters of the GI Bill, if both are still needed, and how to best utilize their education benefits. "We are grateful to Senators Rosen and Barrasso for their bi-partisan legislation to end the "tax on troops" in the Montgomery GI Bill. This legislation will result in more equitable and streamlined federal education benefits for service members and veterans in higher education, said Colonel Bob Norton, USA-ret. Senior Advisor, Veterans Education Success. Since 2015, VES has worked with Congress to enact a key recommendation of the Military Compensation and Retirement Modernization Commis… | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
