Today, U.S. Senator Jacky Rosen (D-NV), a member of the Committee on Small Business & Entrepreneurship, led a group of her Senate Small Business Committee colleagues in a letter to U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) Administrator Jovita Carranza. In the letter, the Senators express concern over the SBA's reluctance to share crucial Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) and Economic Injury Disaster Loan (EIDL) data with the U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO) and the SBA Office of Inspector General (OIG) necessary for the oversight agencies to conduct an accurate analysis of SBA emergency loan programs and investigate fraudulent activity. As workers and small businesses continue to struggle during the COVID-19 pandemic, and as the SBA works to administer its emergency loan programs recently replenished by Congress to provide much-needed relief, we must protect taxpayer dollars by ensuring that the SBA has the tools necessary to combat fraud, waste, and abuse. With that in mind, we urge you to fully cooperate with all past, current, and future GAO and SBA OIG data requests, wrote the Senators. BACKGROUND: In addition to Senator Rosen, Senators Ed Markey (D-MA), Tammy Duckworth (D-IL), and Cory Booker (D-NJ) signed the letter. The full text of the letter can be found here and below: Dear Administrator Carranza: We write to express concern about the U.S. Small Business Administration's (SBA) reluctance to share crucial Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) and Economic Injury Disaster Loan (EIDL) data with the U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO) and SBA Office of Inspector General (OIG). In order for GAO and SBA OIG to conduct an accurate and thorough analysis of SBA emergency loan programs, we urge the SBA to comply with all loan data requests and fully cooperate with any future requests so that oversight agencies can effectively investigate potential fraud and ensure accountability of SBA's use of taxpayer funds.

Amodei | A000369 | amodei.house.gov | amodei | https://amodei.house.gov/news-releases | scraper | FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Logan Tucker, 202-225-6155 WASHINGTON, D.C. – Congressman Mark Amodei (NV-02) today released the following statement after the House voted on legislation to increase Economic Impact Payment amounts to $2,000: "Today the House voted on legislation to increase Economic Impact Payments to $2,000 for individuals making less than $75,000. "The COVID relief bill passed by Congress and signed into law by President Trump on December 27th contained strong assistance for individuals in the form of Economic Impact Payments totaling $600. However, these payments included no targeting requirements other than the general income limitations. Of significant importance to individuals who have pronounced needs are the added federal unemployment resources contained in the bill, the additional Paycheck Protection Program funds for those who value their employment and accompanying benefits, and the additional aid for maintaining access to healthcare operations at all levels. I supported this balanced funding, because it is targeted at continuing the pandemic healthcare battle while working to continue the economic recovery, which are co-equal and mutually important must-achieve goals. "When considering adding nearly half a trillion dollars to the price tag of that bill by enlarging the Economic Impact Payments mechanism, none of which is sitting in the U.S. Treasury, I fail to find any notion of cost benefit to individuals' economic wellbeing. I am sure there are individual instances that will be the exception to this analysis, but when considering the needs of all of the community, state, and federal spending interests, I am not left with the conclusion that increasing the sum of the total COVID relief bill by 50 percent is wise. Finally, since further federal rescue spending in 2021 is a certainty, I'm hoping that funds-borrowing foregone now will be put to better use in the near future with strong background facts to address future potential needs." | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-06-28T00:42:23Z |

Amodei | A000369 | amodei.house.gov | amodei | https://amodei.house.gov/news-releases | scraper | FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Logan Tucker, 202-225-6155 WASHINGTON, D.C. – Congressman Mark Amodei (NV-02) today released the following statement after voting to override a presidential veto of the National Defense Authorization Act: "I have read the President's veto message and I share many of the concerns contained therein. I have also read the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) and have compared the President's concerns with the contents of the Conference Report between the House and the Senate. "First and foremost, if there is not an NDAA bill – which sustaining the President's veto would result in – there will be significant disruptions to military training in Nevada at NAS Fallon and Nevada Test and Training Range, including Creech and Nellis Air Force Bases. "Further, if the veto is sustained, any new NDAA bill would be crafted in a legislative environment where the White House and both chambers of Congress are potentially in Democratic control. That's not a win in view of some present strong points in the existing NDAA, which includes funding to: Provide a 3% pay raise to our troops, authorize extra pay for troops in combat zones, and support their families with the care and benefits they deserve; Ensure the DOD maintains a 30-day supply of PPE, ensure our troops have the diagnostic equipment and testing they need, and provide health benefits to Guardsmen supporting the COVID-19 response. This includes benefits for the Nevada National Guardsmen, who are playing a significant role in the COVID-19 fight in Nevada; Establish the Pacific Deterrence Initiative to fund emergent technologies, support our allies, and deter China. This authorizes several new provisions to counter Chinese industrial espionage, support Hong Kong and Taiwan, and protect our defense supply chain; Maintain prohibitions on the transfer of detainees from Guantanamo Bay; and Continue to support missile defense cooperation with Israel through the United States-Israel Assistance Act.

Today, U.S. Senator Jacky Rosen (D-NV), released the following statement highlighting constituent actions her office has taken in 2020, including assisting over 2,600 constituents with cases dealing with federally related issues, returning over one million dollars to Nevada constituents, attending over 2,000 in-person and virtual meetings and calls, and responding to over 150,000 constituent calls, emails, and letters. It is an honor to represent the people of our great state, said Senator Rosen. In 2020, we have faced numerous challenges, both in our state and across the country. Nevadans continue to amaze me with their incredible resilience, and, as this year comes to a close, I will continue fighting for the people of my state today and every day. Over the past year, my office has been hard at work to see that critical aid reaches our state. Know that my office will always behere for any Nevadan in need. BACKGROUND:Over the past year, Senator Rosen's office has: Assisted in over 2,600 constituent cases dealing with federally related issues, with over $1.2 million returned to Nevadans Returned over $250,000 to the U.S. Treasury from her Senate office budget Attended over 2,000 in-person and virtual meetings and calls Responded to over 150,000 constituent calls, emails, and letters SenatorRosen'soffice is workingevery daytoensureNevadans stay uptodate on the latest news on the coronavirus, as well as provide alistofresourcestoassistNevadans. ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | ||

Lee Statement, President Trump Finally Signs Pandemic Relief and Annual Budget | 2020-12-27 | 2020 | 2020-12 | Democrat | House | NV | Susie Lee | L000590 | susielee.house.gov | legacy | Washington,D.C. U.S. Rep. Susie Lee (Nev.-03), released the following statement after President Trump signed the bipartisan coronavirus relief package and annual appropriations spending bill into law: We are finally getting more relief to Nevadans.Through tough negotiations between Democrats and Republicans negotiations I am proud to have helped lead as a member ofthe Problem Solvers Caucuswe will deliverexpanded unemployment benefits, directcashpayments, small business relief, aid for hospitals and frontline workers, funding for vaccine distribution, and more to every Nevadan in need.As I've said though, this is not a victory lap moment for Congress. It's a wake-up call.This cannot be the last relief package we pass. Our states still need direct relief and working families and small businesses need morehelp. I'll help us take that next step by voting tomorrow to send $2000 direct checks to working families. I'm gladthat Congress and President Trumpavoided a catastrophic government shutdownby passing and signing the annual spending bill. Butit's irresponsible to cut it this close, this often.Bottom line, we need to do a better jobofworkingtogether.I look forward to bringing my collaborative approach to the Appropriations Committee next Congress. Whilewe avoidedanabsolutedisaster, needless delays to pass and sign the pandemic relief package will cause thousands of Nevadans to temporarily lose their emergency benefits. That's not okay, and it'sasign of broken leadership. I'm hopeful 2021 will bring some much needed stability andaccountabilityto ourlawmaking. Nevadans deserve nothing less. BACKGROUND: On Dec. 1, the Problem Solvers Caucus and a bipartisan group of senators announced a$908 billion, bipartisan COVID-19 emergency relief frameworkto help American students, families, small businesses, workers, and health care providers during this crisis. After months of failed progress on relief talks, this most recent bipartisan proposal from the Problem Solvers Caucus jumpstarted negotiations between the White House a… | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | ||

Susie Lee Statement on President Trumps Veto of Bipartisan Annual Defense Bill | 2020-12-23 | 2020 | 2020-12 | Democrat | House | NV | Susie Lee | L000590 | susielee.house.gov | legacy | Washington,D.C. U.S. Rep.Susie Lee (Nev.-03), released the following statement inresponse to President Trump's veto of thebipartisan National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA): The President's veto is purely political, putting his vanity above our national security. Section 230 is not remotely related to our national defensepriorities andis not a reason to jeopardize the wellbeing of our servicemembers, veterans, and national security.The President also took issue with removing the names of Confederate generals from our military bases. This is a slap in the face of every servicemember brave enough tofight for our flag, the American flag.The NDAA has passed with bipartisan support every year for nearly six decades. I'm confident that my Republican and Democratic colleagues will join me to overturn this haphazard veto and pass a three percent pay raise for our servicemembers, expanded health care for veteran families, andotherkey policies to strengthen our national security. BACKGROUND:Rep. Lee co-led an amendment, which was included in the final NDAA, to secure astatus quo extensionof theNevada Test and Training Range (NTTR). Earlier this year, Rep. Lee helped lead discussions around a compromise to secure an extension of the NTTR thatwouldalso guaranteesprotections for tribal resources, conservation, outdoor recreation and public access, and farming and ranching. Rep. Lee secured an amended version of her bill in the NDAA,the Newborn Care Improvement Act,which will expand maternal health care for new veteran mothers and families. | 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 Health, Education, Labor and Pensions (HELP), released the following statement highlighting her efforts to address Nevada's doctor shortage by increasing the number of Medicare-supported graduate medical education (GME) residency slots, and the successful addition of GME 1,000 residency positions included as part of the recently passed Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2021. Nevada currently ranks 48th in the nation in terms of primary care physicians per capita, with all 17 counties in the state designated as health shortage areas. The mass shortage of physicians in our state puts the health and well-being of Nevadans at risk, said Senator Rosen. Now, more than ever, it is critical that we provide proper access to medical professionals in every corner of our state. I'm glad to see that the recently passed government funding package takes much-needed steps to increase the number of medical residency slots in our state, building on my efforts to help establish a larger workforce of medical professionals. I will continue working to support our state's medical community and to protect the health and well-being of Nevadans. BACKGROUND:The Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2021 adds 1,000 new Medicare-funded graduate medical education (GME) full-time equivalent (FTE) residency positions, beginning in fiscal year 2023 and phased in over five years, which will be available to the following groups: 1) rural hospitals and hospitals treated as rural hospitals; 2) hospitals over their otherwise applicable resident limit; 3) hospitals in states with certain new medical schools and medical schools with additional locations and branch campuses; and 4) hospitals that serve Health Professional Shortage Areas (HPSAs). Last year, Senator Rosen co-sponsored the bipartisan Resident Physician Shortage Act of 2019 (S. 348), which would reduce the shortage of physicians in Nevada and the rest of the United States by increasing the number of M… | 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 the 116th Congress. Senator Rosen was named as one of the most active and bipartisan Freshman members of the Senate. During the 116th Congress, Rosen introduced 33 bills and 4 resolutions and co-led more than half a dozen others, 7 of which became law or will soon become law as part of the National Defense Authorization Act, and 14 of which passed the Senate. She also co-sponsored 114 bills and resolutions that passed the Senate, 14 of which became law, and 4 more expected to be signed into law this month. Overall, 92% of the bills and resolutions Senator Rosen has introduced have been bipartisan. I'm glad to have to built a record of partnering with colleagues on both sides of the aisle in order to introduce and pass critical legislation, said Senator Rosen.Whether it's working to create jobs and support our state's small businesses and workforce, or efforts to increase access to quality, affordable health care, I will not stop fighting to improve the lives of Nevadans. BACKGROUND:During the 116th Congress, Senator Rosen was named as one of the most active and bipartisan Freshman senators. Senator Rosen's bipartisan bills, broken up by key issue areas, include: Jobs, Small Business, Workforce Training, and STEM Education Building Blocks of STEM:Introduced alongside Senator Shelley Moore Capito (R-WV), the bill creates and expands upon STEM education initiatives at the National Science Foundation (NSF) for young children, including new research grants to increase the participation of girls in computer science. This legislation is one of only 35 standalone Senate bills introduced by a Democrat to be signed into law this Congress.

Today, U.S. Senator Jacky Rosen (D-NV), a member of the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pensions (HELP) and the Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation, released the following statement announcing that theSupportingConnectivityfor Higher Education Students in Need Act, legislation she helped introduce, passed as part of the COVID relief package approved by Congress. This bipartisan legislation will help ensure that college and university students with the greatest financial needs can access high-speed internet during the coronavirus pandemic. Access to broadband is critical for our students in Nevada and across this country, said Senator Rosen. During this pandemic, colleges and universities across the country have struggled to provide students with the equipment and at home internet access necessary to make virtual learning effective. I'm thankful this bill is now one step closer to becoming law because our students feel the strain of our nation's digital divide every day. This legislation will start the long process of leveling the digital playing field and allowing students greater access to quality education. BACKGROUND:Yesterday, the House and Senate passed H.R. 133, the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021, which funds the government for FY2021 and provides COVID-19 relief for workers, families, small businesses, and others. Section 902 of Division N of the legislation provides $285 million to expand internet connectivity for historically Black colleges and universities (HBCUs), Tribal colleges and universities (TCU)s, Hispanic-serving institutions (HSIs), and other minority-serving institutions (MSIs), their students, and minority-owned businesses near those colleges and universities. The funding can be used to purchase routers, modems, wi-fi hotspots, tablets, and laptops. Funding recipients must prioritize students eligible for the Pell Grant or the FCC's Lifeline program, approved to receive unemployment insurance benefits, currently receiving other need-ba… | 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 work to support Nevada's small businesses in 2020: Across our state, small businesses have felt the crippling effects of the COVID-19 pandemic,said Senator Rosen.More than 99% of businesses in Nevada are small businesses, and during a time of extreme economic hardship, we cannot afford to leave our small business community behind. Through bipartisan legislation and outreach with our local chambers, my office has worked to ensure that Nevada's businesses have the resources and support they need. I will continue fighting for Nevada small businesses, for workers, and for any Nevadan in need of help. BACKGROUND:In 2020, Senator Rosen's office was able to directly assist 1,071 Nevada small businesses. Senator Rosen has introduced the following bipartisan bills to support Nevada small businesses: EIDL for Small Businesses Act. The bill would provide billions of dollars in aid to small businesses during the coronavirus pandemic through the EIDL and EIDL Advance programs and lift the caps on both. A key part of this legislation funding $10,000 EIDL Advance grants for low-income businesses and allowing many past EIDL Advance recipients of all sizes to get the full $10,000 grant was included in the COVID relief package that recently passed the House and Senate. The Filtering and Retrofitting the Environment for Safe and Healthy Activities Indoors and Revenue (FRESH AIR) for Businesses Act. The bill would provide a refundable tax credit to businesses and non-profit organizations that purchase or upgrade their air ventilation, filtration, and purification systems to help mitigate the spread of COVID-19 and other airborne diseases. Small Business Child Care Investment Act. The bill would allow nonprofit child care providers to participate in the Small Business Administration's loan programs.

Amodei | A000369 | amodei.house.gov | amodei | https://amodei.house.gov/news-releases | scraper | FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Logan Tucker, 202-225-6155 WASHINGTON, D.C. – Congressman Mark Amodei (NV-02) today released the following statement after voting in favor of a bipartisan-bicameral omnibus appropriations bill to fund the government through the end of the Fiscal Year and a $900 billion COVID relief package: "Although long overdue, the passage of today's bills is certainly welcome news for the millions of Americans and small businesses who have suffered for months due to congressional inaction and intentional efforts by the House majority to block relief funding. "If you're also disappointed in the timing of these response efforts, it's worth noting that a number of the priorities included in today's COVID relief package are extremely similar, if not identical, to those proposed by Republicans over the last several months. Unfortunately, Speaker Pelosi blocked all of those proposals, and even recently admitted she did so for political purposes as she had no intention of negotiating until after the November election. "Essentially, the Speaker went from her $3.3 trillion wish list of partisan priorities, to rejecting Secretary Mnuchin's $1.8 trillion offer just two months ago. As such, it's still incredibly unclear what the Democrats hoped to achieve with their strategy of holding up aid for families, hospitals, workers, and small businesses, while also delaying funding for vaccine procurement and distribution. "In the meantime, Republicans remained focused on providing targeted relief to small businesses, making vaccines available, and safely reopening our economy – and this package delivers on all of those fronts by providing approximately $900 billion in funding to extend the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP), add deductibility for PPP expenses, support the purchase and distribution of vaccines, provide direct payments to individuals, and extend the unemployment programs created under the CARES Act. Additionally, this legislation provides appropriate levels of funding needed to support childca… | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-06-28T00:42:23Z |

Let's be clear though. This is not a victory lap moment for Congress. It's a wake-up call.This cannot be the last COVID-19 relief package we pass.$300 per week in unemployment relief and $600 in direct assistance for working families will not be enough.Direct aid for states and communities wasalsoglaringly missing from this package, which is unacceptable.States like Nevada have been economically devastatedby COVID-19. Our states need direct assistance as they face massive budget cuts because of lost revenue during this pandemic. Ourschools, hospitals, police departments, and communities needdirect relief, desperately. This relief package was our emergency chute, and I'm glad we pulleditin time. But recoveryfrom this pandemicwill be long and difficultand will only be reached if we work together, in good faith, from here on out.

Today, U.S. Senator Jacky Rosen (D-NV) released the following statement following the Senate's vote to pass the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2021. This bipartisan legislative package secures several important Rosen-led provisions to provide much-needed help and relief for hardworking Nevadans and our small businesses. Today's vote is a step forward towards providing help and relief to Nevadans and the American people, said Senator Rosen. The COVID-19 relief included in this legislative package provides a much-needed lifeline to countless Nevadans who have been waiting for assistance. The relief plan includes direct payments to individuals, extended and enhanced unemployment insurance, increased flexibility for state and local spending, and support for our small business community, including $10,000 grants for businesses in low-income communities based on bipartisan legislation I introduced. Passage of this bill is a positive development, but we must do much more to help Nevada workers and businesses navigate this crisis. I will continue fighting so thatall Nevadans receive the support they need as we move into the New Year. I'm also glad to see that Republicans and Democrats were able to come to the table and pass legislation that funds our government, Senator Rosen continued. This omnibus includes important Nevada priorities such as no funding for Yucca Mountain, a pay raise for our troops, and robust investment in infrastructure and broadband development. I'm also proud to say that funding for my Never Again Education Act and my Building Blocks of STEM Act, both signed into law in the past year, are part of this omnibus. These are important victories that will help improve lives, and I pledge to continue fighting for Nevadans and the American people. BACKGROUND:Senator Rosen led or co-led the efforts to secure the following provisions in the omnibus spending bill that funds the federal government for the remainder of Fiscal Year 2021: NO funding for nuclear waste disposal at Yucca Moun… | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | ||

Today,U.S. Rep Susie Lee (Nev.-03), at the recommendation ofCongress' Office of theAttending Physician,receivedher first dose ofaPfizerCOVID-19vaccine.Rep. Lee said: Upon recommendation of the Attending Physician, I received my first dose of a coronavirus vaccine this morning. I'm incredibly grateful to receive the vaccine and want to thank the doctors and health workers who administered my vaccination, as well as the frontline workers doing so throughout the country. I'm mindful that I am no more important than the millions of Americans still waiting to receive the vaccine, but just like with wearing a mask or socially distancing, I would not ask my constituents to do something that I have not done myself. Also, because my official duties require me to travel frequently and cast votes in-person on the House floor, I'm glad I can take the steps to make my official duties safer for those around me, including airline workers, fellow travelers, and Capitol Hill staff. And rest assured, even with the vaccine, I will continue to follow CDC guidelines, wear a mask in public, and observe social distancing. Now I'm focused on securing this crucial bipartisan relief package today, which will include billions of dollars in funding for vaccine development and distribution along with economic relief that my constituents desperately need. BACKGROUND:This week, Attending PhysicianBrian P. Monahan informedmembers of Congress, My recommendation to you is absolutely unequivocal: there is no reason why you should defer receiving this vaccine.' The Problem Solvers Caucus most recentCOVID-19 relief proposal, whichjumpstartednegotiationsat the beginning of this month, included$16 billion for vaccine development and disibtrution, as well as testing and tracing.A similar amount is expected in the final end-of-year relief package. | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | ||

Today, U.S. Senator Jacky Rosen (D-NV), member of the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee (HSGAC), joined Senators Maggie Hassan (D-NH) and Krysten Sinema (D-AZ) in a letter to the U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO) requesting a review on (1) efforts by the Department of Education (ED), the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), and other relevant federal agencies to assist school districts in securing themselves from cyber threats; and (2) plan, coordinate, and report on the effectiveness of federal cybersecurity assistance to schools. This letter comes in response to an increase in cyberattacks targeting schools during COVID-19. We are concerned about the extent to which K-12 schools are adequately protected from cyber threats as they expand or revise operations during the pandemic and beyond. Moreover, we would like to understand how Federal agencies coordinate school protection through information sharing, intelligence, and other resources that the Federal government has at its disposal in an effort to help schools combat cyber threats, wrote the Senators. We seek a review by the Government Accountability Office on efforts by Education, DHS, and other relevant federal agencies to assist school districts in securing themselves from cyber threats and the effectiveness of these efforts. We also request any recommendations GAO can offer to Congress to improve federal cybersecurity support for school districts.. BACKGROUND: On October 2, 2020, following a ransomware attack on Clark County School District, Senator Rosen sent a letter urging DHS and ED to provide adequate support, guidance, and resources to help schools respond to and prevent cyberattacks. She followed up on her request when questioning the Acting Director of the Department of Homeland Security's Cybersecurity Infrastructure Agency (CISA) during a December 2, 2020 hearing on state and local cybersecurity held by HSGAC's Subcommittee on Federal Spending Oversight and Emergency Management.

Today, U.S. Senators Jacky Rosen (D-NV) and Kevin Cramer (R-ND), announced the introduction of their Filtering and Retrofitting the Environment for Safe and Healthy Activities Indoors and Revenue (FRESH AIR) for Businesses Act (S. 5067), a bipartisan bill that would provide a tax credit to businesses and nonprofit organizations that purchase or upgrade their air ventilation, filtration, and purification systems to help mitigate the spread of COVID-19 and other airborne diseases. As a member of the Senate Committee on Small Business and Entrepreneurship, one of my top priorities is to help Nevada's small businesses manage and overcome disruptions and dangers caused by COVID-19. That is why I am proud to introduce this important bipartisan legislation to provide our businesses with a tax credit to upgrade their air ventilation, filtration, and purification systems. By making our indoor spaces safer for customers and workers, we can reduce the spread of COVID, help boost consumer confidence, and keep businesses afloat, said Senator Rosen. I will continue working in Congress to provide Nevada businesses and entrepreneurs the support they need to not only succeed, but thrive. More businesses are going to permanently close if customers don't feel safe going to them, but there are changes they can make to restore consumer confidence and protect their workers and customers, said Senator Cramer. Our bill extends businesses and nonprofits a helping hand, allowing them to make upgrades to their facilities that help prevent the spread of COVID-19. We appreciate the boost that Senator Rosen and Senator Cramer's FRESH AIR for Business Act would give, especially to the small restaurants across the country who are struggling to stay open, said Sean Kennedy, Executive Vice President for Public Affairs for the National Restaurant Association.

The following is a transcript of Rep. Lee's remarks: I rise today on behalf of the people of Nevada's ThirdCongressionalDistrict, with a plea toall ofmy colleagues. We are now entering the darkest period of this pandemic. Americans are scared, and I don't blame them. Americans are also angry, and they should be. They're angry at Congress and this administration for failing to pass more relief for struggling families, frontline workers, and small businesses. Thousands more Nevadans filed for unemployment during the last few weeks. Over 400,000 Nevadans remain at risk of eviction as housing assistance expires. And as this virusuncontrollably spreads in every corner of the country, our frontline workers and hospitals are overwhelmed with a tidal wave of new COVID-positive patients. There's no time for the political games that have consumed Congress for months. There never was. I'm pleadingto my Republican and Democratic colleagues, toourleadership, and to this administration: it's time to do our jobs and pass more COVID-19 relief now. BACKGROUND:On Dec. 1, the Problem Solvers Caucus and a bipartisan group of senators announced a$908 billion, bipartisanCOVID-19 emergency relief frameworktohelp American students, families, small businesses, workers, and health care providers during this crisis.

TheVeterans Comprehensive Prevention, AccesstoCare, And Treatment Actof2020, orVeterans COMPACT Act, was signed into law by President Trump on Saturday, Dec. 5.The VeteransCOMPACT Act is a comprehensive, bipartisan set of policies thatimprovesveterans'suicide prevention, mental health care,andoutreachwithin theU.S.Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). TheVeterans COMPACT Act includes Rep. Lee's legislation,theLeave No Veteran Behind Act, whichrequires that the VAcontact veteranswhohave not had contact with VA intwoor more years to encourage them to receive comprehensive exams so that they continue their eligibility for coverage of emergency care not related to service-connected disabilities. Every day in this country, 20 veterans die by suicide, and the rate is even worse in Nevada,said Rep. Lee.Even one death per day is too many. Veterans need a health care system centered around their unique mental and physical health needs, which is what the Veterans COMPACT Actdoes. Of those 20 veterans, 14 of them did not seek medical treatment from the VA in over two years. My provision in the Veterans OMPACT Actimprovesoutreach and treatment,so we can bring those lost or forgotten veterans back to the VA system to get the treatment they need before it's too late. Veterans dealing with PTSD and other mental health issues need to know that they are not in this alone, and there are medical, mental-health, and support services available to them that can help. I am always motivated to bring Democrats and Republicans together to pass laws that can really make adifference,and I know that is what we accomplished today by enacting the Veterans COMPACT Act.

However, today's legislation goes far beyond those actions, as it has the potential to allow bad actors and criminal organizations to further exploit America's addiction crisis. Additionally, in a time of record deficits, I cannot support legislation that directs tax revenue from marijuana sales toward indeterminate social engineering. My concern is further heightened by Nevada's recent track record where recreational marijuana tax revenues were supposed to fund our public education system. That goal, from many viewpoints, has not materialized. "Instead of focusing on legislation that will not be signed into law before the end of this Congress, House leadership should be focused on prioritizing relief for families, businesses of all sizes, and our medical providers who are still struggling amid the ongoing pandemic." | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-06-28T00:42:23Z |

"Every Nevadan knows how precious water management is in our state," said Rep. Lee. "This federal grant will improve water management and reduce pollution in Nevada's waterways, something that needs to be a consistent priority.

"With the United States spending billions of dollars to manufacture currency, recent reports have suggested that modifying the metallic composition of coins would not only allow the Mint to begin producing coins at a more cost-effective rate, but could save taxpayers millions of dollars in the process," said Rep. Amodei. "However, until existing law is modified, the Mint does not have the authority to make that change, preventing it from operating as efficiently and cost-effectively as possible. Our bill takes a balanced approach to modifying existing law in a way that maintains congressional oversight while finally allowing the Mint to produce coins at a rate that will significantly reduce costs incurred by taxpayers. Now more than ever, it's critical that we continue looking for innovative ways to reign in wasteful spending to ensure the most responsible use of hard-earned taxpayer dollars. I thank Congressman Gottheimer for teaming up with me on this common-sense solution that will alleviate some of the financial strains felt by taxpayers during these uncertain times."

"For the long-term health of Nevada's economy and working families, we need to invest in workforce development now," said Rep. Lee. "The National Apprenticeship Act would create more stability in our workforce, which is exactly what hard-hit states like Nevada will need post-pandemic. Registered Apprenticeships are our nation's most successful federal workforce development program, with a 94 percent hiring rate for workers who complete a Registered Apprenticeship, and an average starting salary of $70,000 a year. The National Apprenticeship Act will prepare our workforce for the post-pandemic job market and give Nevada workers more opportunities to succeed."

ROSEN: I want to build upon what my colleagues have already asked you about workforce training and re-training. During the pandemic, American ingenuity has been a bright spot, and our nation has exhibited many of your companies and many in my state the ability to tackle these insurmountable problems. For example, when the pandemic hit, there was a plastics manufacturer in Sparks, Nevada. They started making face shields and safety partitions for casinos, restaurants, and government agencies. The University of Nevada, Reno's Innovation Center teamed up with our state's MEP center, Nevada Industry Excellence, to produce gowns for local health care workers. This August, I had the opportunity to virtually visit with Frey Ranch, it's in Churchill County. They make whiskey and bourbon and shifted to producing hand sanitizer. Similarly, work began at Las Vegas Distillery in Henderson, they pivoted their operations from vodka, rum, and whisky to also produce hand sanitizer. So I want to thank you for addressing some of the challenges that we have doing this for PPE and some of the other things like workforce training because we know that having a skilled workforce that is able to be nimble and readily adapt is going to impact ho… | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | ||

"On behalf of the constituents of CD-2, I want to thank Martin for his tireless work on the issues that are most important to our folks in the rurals. As a lifelong Nevadan with a strong ranching background, Martin's extensive knowledge and understanding of the unique needs of our rural communities has been an invaluable asset, and his successor will certainly have big shoes to fill. I wish Martin the best of luck as he transitions into this new chapter and thank him for his dedicated service to the Silver State." Background: As Congressman Amodei's Rural Representative, Paris assisted Nevadans by putting them in contact with federal, state, and local agencies. Prior to joining Congressman Amodei's staff, he worked as a resource technician at an environmental consulting company where he handled rangeland issues among other projects. Paris was born in Reno and grew up on his family's cattle ranch in Battle Mountain. After graduating from Battle Mountain High School, he attended California Polytechnic State University in San Luis Obispo, CA, where he graduated with a B.A. in political science in 2014. Amodei is the only federally elected official with an office presence in Elko and is in the process of finding a successor to Paris. ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-06-28T00:39:51Z |

Today, U.S. Senators Jacky Rosen (D-NV) and Catherine Cortez Masto (D-NV) released the following statement announcing that The Children's Cabinet, a Reno-based community service organization, received a grant from the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) totaling $600,000 over a three-year period. The funding may be used to support community outreach, temporary shelter facilities, and counseling services to runaway and homeless youth in Nevada. Youth homelessness is a critical issue, and unfortunately, one that disproportionately impacts our state, said the Senators. Last year, Nevada experienced the highest rate of youth homelessness in the country. This issue puts our children at risk of serious harm, and it impacts public health and safety. We are glad to see that The Children's Cabinet has been awarded this grant funding to provide critical resources and a safe place for youth experiencing homelessness or an unstable living environment. We will continue working in Congress to protect the safety and well-being of all of Nevada's children. BACKGROUND:Using this $600,000 grant, The Children's Cabinet estimates it can provide services to 7,500 young people in Washoe County for each of the next three years. Established in 1985, The Children's Cabinet exists to keep children safe and families together by offering services and resources that address unmet needs. The Children's Cabinet helps more than 12,000 families annually with a wide range of services: basic needs, child care resources, education, and work experience programs, crisis intervention, and family counseling. ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | ||

U.S. Senator Jacky Rosen (D-NV), a member of the Subcommittee on Communications, Technology, Innovation, and the Internet, released the following statement announcing she was named a Congressional Media Diversity Champion by the Multicultural Media Correspondents Association. Senator Rosen was honored for her work to support greater mediadiversity and inclusion. When we have more voices at the table, we can build a healthier democracy, said Senator Rosen. This means having people from diverse backgrounds and cultures reporting on every story and bringing to light both the challenges we must address and the opportunities we must create in every community. I'm honored to receive this recognition, and I pledge to continue working to ensure that our newsrooms, production offices, and media boardrooms are reflective of America's diversity. BACKGROUND: Last year, Senator Rosen, along with Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL), introduced a bipartisan, bicameral resolution calling for increased diversity in American media. Representatives Val Demings (D-FL) and Jennifer Gonzlez-Coln (R-PR) led the resolution in the U.S. House of Representatives. ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | ||

Today, U.S. Senator Jacky Rosen (D-NV) released the following statement applauding news that the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) has awarded a grant of $2.7 million to provide high-speed broadband internet in Elko County, Nevada. Location should not be a factor that determines whether Nevadans can access high-speed broadband internet connections, said Senator Rosen. I'm glad to see the USDA award this much-needed funding to benefit Nevada's rural communities and help them access important services, such as telehealth and education tools, during this difficult time. BACKGROUND: The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) is investing $10.6 million to provide broadband service in unserved and underserved rural areas in Utah, Nevada, Idaho and Wyoming. This investment is part of the $550 million Congress allocated to the second round of the ReConnect Program. ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | ||

Today, U.S. Senator Jacky Rosen (D-NV), a member of the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions (HELP) Committee, released the following statement announcing that her bipartisan Ensuring Understanding of COVID-19 to Protect Public Health Act (S.3595) has recently been endorsed by the American Hospital Association (AHA): Given the recent accelerated spread of COVID-19, we must work diligently to not only track patient treatment outcomes, but also study the full health impacts of this disease across a wide range of demographics, including both short and long-term impacts, said Senator Rosen. I'm honored to have the support of the AHA for this important legislation that will ensure scientists and medical experts include a diverse set of patients in their research so we better treat patients from all backgrounds. I will continue working to protect the health and well-being of Nevadans and all Americans as we confront this unprecedented public health crisis. We applaud Senators Rosen and Rubio for working to give the NIH, CDC and other federal partners the resources they need to better understand the short and long-term clinical effects of the coronavirus, said Tom Nickels, Executive Vice President, Government Relations and Public Policy at the American Hospital Association. Hospitals and health systems on the front lines of the fight against COVID-19 need the best possible information about this novel disease so they can continue to treat patients and save lives. BACKGROUND: In May, Senator Rosen and Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) introduced the Ensuring Understanding of COVID-19 to Protect Public Health Act, bipartisan legislation that would direct the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to conduct a longitudinal study on mild, moderate, and severe cases of COVID-19 on a diverse patient population to ensure the U.S. gains a full understanding of both the short and long-term health impacts of the novel coronavirus.

Today, U.S. Senator Jacky Rosen (D-NV) released the following statement commemorating Veterans Day: Nevada is home to over 225,000 veterans, and Veterans Day gives our state and this country an opportunity to show our gratitude for their tremendous service, said Senator Rosen. We honor the sacrifices made by our brave men and women in uniform and pay respect to the generations before them who defended America's freedom. Veterans continue to be models of patriotism and courage across the globe, and it is our responsibility to ensure they have an honorable transition back into civilian life. That includes access to high-quality health care, transition support, disability compensation, mental health services, and educational assistance. While sending our thanks, let us also rededicate ourselves to working together to ensure no veteran is left behind. I honor our country's veterans and their families today and on all days. BACKGROUND: Yesterday, Senator Rosen held a roundtable with a group of Nevada veterans to discuss issues facing the veteran community. In September, Senator Rosen introduced theVA Zero Suicide Demonstration Project Act, a bipartisan bill that would build upon the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs' (VA) strong suicide prevention efforts by implementing a Zero Suicide Initiative pilot program at five VA medical centers across the nation, one of which must serve primarily veterans who live in rural and remote areas. Last year, Senator Rosen introduced theHire Student Veterans Act, bipartisan legislation to expand the existing Work Opportunity Tax Credit (WOTC) to ensure that all student veterans using their GI benefits can take advantage of paid internships or work opportunities while in school. Senator Rosen also introduced theGI Bill Planning Act of 2019, bipartisan legislation to provide military enlistees additional time to pick their preferred GI Bill education benefits plan, instead of having to do so at arrival at Basic Training, which is a chaotic environment with little opp… | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | ||

Today, U.S. Senator Jacky Rosen (D-NV) held a virtual roundtable with Nevada Veteran Services Officers (VSOs) and veteran advocates. During the roundtable discussion, Senator Rosen and the participants discussed issues affecting Nevada's veterans during COVID-19, as well as the latest updates on benefits to help our veterans. Nevada's dedicated veterans served this country, and now it is our duty to serve them, said Senator Rosen. In honoring their service to this nation, we must prioritize understanding the unique difficulties that veterans face and develop solutions to help our American heroes. That's why I am proud to be the sponsor of bipartisan legislation that would help expand our veteran workforce, provide veterans greater access to affordable housing, and assist student veterans in their educational pursuits. This Veterans Day, let's honor the service of our men and women in uniform and remain focused on keeping our nation's promise to look out for our servicemembers when they return home.

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 in response to the United States Supreme Court hearing California v. Texas, a case that may determine the future of the Affordable Care Act (ACA): Access to quality, affordable health care coverage is critical, especially now, said Senator Rosen. Since becoming law, the Affordable Care Act has guaranteed health care to thousands of Nevada families, regardless of pre-existing conditions. Without the ACA's protections in place, Americans will be in danger of losing health care coverage in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic. I call on the Supreme Court to uphold the ACA and rule against this attempt to sabotage our nation's health care law. I will continue to fight on behalf of all Nevadans who demand and deserve access to quality health care. BACKGROUND: In one of her first actions in the Senate, Senator Rosen joined Senator Joe Manchin (D-WV) inintroducing a resolutionto authorize Senate Legal Counsel to intervene in Texas v. United States a lawsuit that was a precursor to the current case California v. Texas on behalf of the U.S. Senate, in order to defend the Affordable Care Act and its protections for people with pre-existing conditions. Last year, Senator Rosen co-sponsored theFamily Coverage Act, legislation that would amend the Affordable Care Act (ACA) to provide tax credits to offset the cost of health insurance to spouses and children when an individual's employer-sponsored coverage is not affordable for their family. Last year, Senator Rosen alsoco-sponsored legislationto block implementation of the Trump Administration's rule expanding short-term health insurance plans that do not include protections for pre-existing conditions or provide essential health benefits. ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | ||

The signage of S. 785, the Commander John Scott Hannon Veterans Mental Health Care Improvement Act, into law is an important step in addressing veterans' mental health and preventing suicide, wrote the Senators. We were proud to write and pass this law, with Chairman Jerry Moran and colleagues in the Senate and House of Representatives, to honor the legacy of a former Navy SEAL and Montanan who lost his life to the invisible wounds of war. On the heels of its signage, as the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) takes action to implement its critical provisions and new authorities, VA must in parallel take a more aggressive, all-hands-on-deck approach towards getting veterans the mental health resources they need and ending the veteran suicide epidemic.

The event also highlighted the recent $1 million in grant funding awarded to ACDC by Clark County as part of the CARES Act, as well as the launch of the organization's Families in Focus initiative to support Nevada AAPI families during the COVID-19 pandemic. Food insecurity is a serious issue, one that affects our state, and one that has only been made worse during this pandemic, said Senator Rosen. Many Nevadans are out of work due to the economic effects of COVID-19, and many families are struggling to get by. Today's food distribution will help to feed Nevada families, giving them support to get back on their feet as we confront this pandemic. Organizations like ACDC are invaluable, especially now, which is why I am glad to see that Clark County has awarded the Asian Community Development Council a grant of one million dollars in CARES Act funding. I will continue working in Congress to ensure that Nevada families in every community receive the assistance they need.

I write to request that you convene a hearing of the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee (HSGAC) as soon as possible to examine the ongoing impact of the Trump Administration's family separation policy that forcibly separated thousands of children from their parents at the U.S. southern border.

Today, U.S. Senator Jacky Rosen (D-NV), a member of the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation, and Senator Catherine Cortez Masto (D-NV), a member of the Senate Committee on Indian Affairs, released the following statement applauding news that the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has issued spectrum licenses through the agency's first-of-its-kind Rural Tribal Priority Window to Tribal entities across the country, including 10 Tribes in Nevada, to help bridge the digital divide. As the coronavirus pandemic has amplified, far too many Tribes in Nevada and across the nation lack adequate broadband access, said the Senators. The closure of schools and businesses due to COVID-19 has only exacerbated this digital inequality. We congratulate the Tribes in Nevada who are receiving these first-of-its-kind Rural Tribal Priority Window licenses, which will provide the opportunity for much-needed advanced wireless services. We will continue working to increase access to broadband and home internet connectivity to bridge the digital divide affecting so many of our nation's Tribal communities. BACKGROUND:The FCC's Wireless Telecommunications Bureau formally granted 154 applications, including 10 in Nevada, for use of the 2.5 GHz band to close the digital divide and provide broadband and other advanced wireless services, including 5G, to rural Tribal communities. These licenses provide for exclusive use of up to 117.5 megahertz of 2.5 GHz band spectrum that can be used by Tribes to connect their communities.

U.S. Senators Jacky Rosen (D-NV) and JamesLankford(R-OK), co-founders and co-chairs of the Senate Bipartisan Task Force for Combating Anti-Semitism, released the following statement recognizing the task force's one year anniversary: In recent years, anti-Semitism and acts of hate have grown at an alarming rate in the United States and throughout the world,said Senator Rosen.Standing against anti-Semitism is a critical issue that's near to my heart. That's why one year ago today, I joined Senator James Lankford to launch the Senate's first Bipartisan Task Force for Combating Anti-Semitism. Over the past year, we've worked to educate and empower communities to fight back against hate. We've been able to make great strides, but our work is far from done. We have an ongoing responsibility to our neighbors, to our friends, to our community, and to our children to confront anti-Semitism wherever it rears its ugly head. In the last year since Senator Rosen and I started the Senate Bipartisan Task Force for Combating Anti-Semitism, more than a third of the Senate has joined with us in a bipartisan way to condemn acts of hate, promote a uniform definition of anti-Semitism for the U.S. and governments around the world, and ensure our schools are equipped to provide education on the Holocaust, said Senator Lankford. I look forward to our ongoing work to raise awareness and do what we can to fight anti-Semitism and religious persecution in the U.S. and worldwide.

A transcript of the Senator's full exchange can be found below, and a videoof the Senator's full exchange can be foundhere. ROSEN: My colleagues in the majority have called this hearing in order to argue that you are doing too much to stop the spread of disinformation, conspiracy theories, and hate speech on your platforms. I'm here to tell you that you are not doing enough. Your platforms' recommendation algorithms can drive people who show an interest in conspiracy theories far deeper into hate, and only you have the ability to change this. What I really want to say is this, on these platforms, the important factor to realize is that people or users are the initiators and the algorithms are the potentiators of this content. I was doing a little cleaning in my garage like a lot of people during COVID. I'm a former computer programmer and I actually found my old hexadecimal calculator and my little RadioShack owner's manual here, so I know a little bit about the power of algorithms and what they can and can't do, having done that myself. I know that you have the capability to remove bigoted, hateful, and incendiary content that will lead and has led to violence. So I want to be clear, this is really not about what you can or cannot do; it's about what you will or will not do. Adversaries like Russia continue to amplify propaganda on everything from the election to the coronavirus to anti-Semitic conspiracy theories and they do it on your platforms, weaponizing division and hate to destroy our democracy and our communities. The U.S. intelligence community warned us earlier this year that Ru… | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | ||

Today, U.S. Senator Jacky Rosen (D-NV), co-founder and co-chair of the Senate Bipartisan Task Force for Combating Anti-Semitism, released the following statement honoring the victims of the 2018 shooting at the Tree of Life Synagogue in Pittsburgh, the deadliest targeted attack on the Jewish American community in American history: Today marks a solemn day in our nation's history. Two years ago, our country witnessed an act of extreme anti-Semitic violence committed against a house of worship. This tragic attack targeting our Jewish community took the lives of 11 innocent people and wounded six others, said Senator Rosen. The shooting in Pittsburgh was not an isolated incident statistics show that violent anti-Semitism is on the rise here in the United States and around the world. As we honor the memory of the victims of the Tree of Life Synagogue massacre, we must also forcefully reject and condemn anti-Semitism, white supremacy, and hate in all its forms, so that no other community endures another devastating tragedy. BACKGROUND: Senator Rosen holds the distinction of being the third female Jewish Senator in U.S. history, as well as the first former synagogue president to serve in the United States Senate. As such, SenatorRosen has been an outspoken advocate ofcombating anti-Semitism in the United States, the Middle East, Europe, and around the world. In 2019, Senator Rosen introducedtheNeverAgainEducation Actalongside Senators Kevin Cramer (R-ND), Marco Rubio (R-FL), and Richard Blumenthal (D-CT). This bipartisan legislation, signed into law in May, establishes a dedicated federal fund through the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum to provide teachers with resources and training necessary to teach our students the important lessons of the Holocaust. Last year, Rosen launched theSenate Bipartisan Task Force for Combating Anti-Semitism, with co-chair Senator James Lankford (R-OK). The Task Force now includes 38 Senators, with an equal number of Democrats and Republicans. ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | ||

Since then, I've been working with my colleagues across the aisle to find solutions to our nation's most pressing challenges with a focus on improving the lives of hardworking families and individuals in southern Nevada. As your Representative, I have fought for your right to quality and affordable health care, for stronger schools and a pipeline to good-paying jobs, for increased funding towards Nevada's vital community programs, and to protect Nevada's pristine environment, among many other priorities. I havehostedover a thousand outreach events and have heard from tens of thousands of Nevadans to listen and connect my work in Congress to real life and real results on the ground. As you read this report, please know that I, along with my team, will continue to ensure that the concerns of our community are heard in Congress and that the needs of Nevada workers, families, and small businesses are being met as we endure these trying times. | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | ||

WASHINGTON, D.C. Today, U.S. Senator Jacky Rosen spoke against the nomination of Judge Amy Coney Barrett to the United States Supreme Court. In her remarks, Senator Rosen highlighted the importance of protecting the Affordable Care Act (ACA) and coverage for Nevadans with pre-existing conditions, as well as stories of Nevadans who would be gravely impacted by the dismantling of the ACA. This confirmation comes right before a November Supreme Court case that will determine the Affordable Care Act's future. I rise today because the health care of millions of Nevadans, and of Americans, is in danger, said Senator Rosen. Their health care is endangered because, in just a few weeks, the Supreme Court will consider a case that could overturn the Affordable Care Act completely. This means that the next Supreme Court justice will decide whether individuals with pre-existing conditions could once again be denied health care coverage. Now, with an election just a week away, Senate Republicans are scrambling to confirm a new Supreme Court justice in order to tip the balance of the court in favor of their lawsuit aiming to destroy the Affordable Care Act. This Administration's attempt to use the Court to take away Americans' health insurance and raise the cost of care, especially at this moment during a global pandemic is not only cruel, and reckless, it's also deadly. I have met many Nevada families and I've heard stories from men, women, and children whose lives would be devastated without the Affordable Care Act, Senator Rosen continued. Cancer survivors, people with diabetes, asthma, cystic fibrosis, and countless other pre-existing conditions that affect families -- These are real Nevadans whose health care would be jeopardized if the ACA is no longer the law of the land. Since coming to Congress, I have made it my mission to not only preserve the Affordable Care Act, but to expand care for all Americans. I have worked to increase access, lower costs, and improve qualit… | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | ||

U.S. Senator Jacky Rosen (D-NV), a member of the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pensions (HELP), joined Senator Patty Murray (D-WA), Ranking Member of the Senate HELP Committee, and Senate colleagues in a letter urging Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos to ensure all struggling federal student borrowers can gain access to crucial federal relief. We write to ask that you take immediate steps to support federal student loan borrowers who have been impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, wrote the Senators. Although the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act and recent administrative action to extend it are automatically providing forbearance, waiving interest, and halting collections on student loans held directly by the U.S. Department of Education (Department) until at least December 31, 2020, this relief does not cover all federal student loan borrowers. The Department should take swift action to help borrowers with at least one qualifying loan gain access to full coverage. The more than eight million student loan borrowers falling into donut holes of critical relief have missed out on needed benefits and suffered unnecessary complexity and confusion for more than six months. It is essential that the Department immediately begin the targeted outreach and take the actions we are requesting. the Senators concluded. BACKGROUND: In September, Rosen joined Senate colleagues in sending a letter to commercial lenders requesting they inform borrowers of their options to consolidate their loans and obtain full CARES Act benefits In August, Rosen sent a letter to Leaders Schumer and McConnell calling for an extension of the student loan relief established by the CARES Act in the next COVID relief bill.

Today, U.S. Senator Jacky Rosen (D-NV) released the following statement after being recognized as one of the most active freshman Senators in the 116th Congress by Quorum, a Washington D.C.-based software company that tracks legislation from Congress: Since I arrived in Congress, it's been my mission to find common-sense solutions that make a difference in the lives of Nevadans, said Senator Rosen. From our great accomplishments like the signing of the bipartisan Building Blocks of STEM Act, to fighting for quality, affordable health care, to helping our state's economy by protecting Nevada workers and small businesses, it has been an honor working for Nevada. I will continue to work with my colleagues on both sides of the aisle to find innovative bipartisan solutions that will continue to improve our communities, our state, and the entire country. BACKGROUND:Since being sworn in as Nevada's Senator in January 2019, Senator Rosen has written and introduced thirty-one bills and three resolutions, over ninety-percent of which have been bipartisan. Two of her bills have been signed into law, while several others have been passed by committees. Rosen has also been a legislative leader in fighting for our veterans, increasing and protecting access to affordable health care, and assisting our small businesses. Last year, Senator Rosen introduced the Building Blocks of STEM Act, bipartisan legislation to create and expand STEM education initiatives at the National Science Foundation (NSF) for young children, including new research grants to increase the participation of girls in computer science. This bill was signed into law in December 2019. This year, Senator Rosen introduced the Never Again Education Act, bipartisan legislation to establish a dedicated federal fund to provide teachers with the resources and training necessary to teach our students the important lessons of the Holocaust. This bill was signed into law on May 29, 2020. Over the last two years, Rosen has introduced six bipartisan pieces … | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | ||

Today, U.S. Senator Jacky Rosen (D-NV), a member of the Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee (HSGAC), joined Senator Tom Cotton (R-AR) in a bipartisan letter to Bulgarian Ambassador Tihomir Stoytchev expressing appreciation for Bulgaria's recent sentencing in absentia of Hezbollah operatives responsible for the 2012 bombing of an Israeli tour bus in Burgas, Bulgaria.The letter also encourages Bulgaria to designate Hezbollah as a terrorist entity in its entirety. The time is right for concrete actions from our European allies to hold Hezbollah accountable, the Senators wrote. The Burgas attacks convinced the European Union in 2013 to designate the so-called military wing of Hezbollah, but not its political wing, as a terrorist organization. Hezbollah's political leadership does not itself recognize this division. In designating Hezbollah as a terrorist group, Bulgaria would reject this false distinction and set a bold example for the rest of the European Union to follow. Hezbollah remains a clear and present danger to Europe and the United States. The verdict in the Burgas case is an important first step, but if our countries are to truly hold Hezbollah accountable for its crimes and thwart future terrorist attacks in Bulgaria and throughout Europe, further action against Hezbollah by Bulgaria and other European Union countries is necessary, continued the Senators. BACKGROUND: In June, Senator Rosen joined Senator Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) and Representatives Lee Zeldin (R-NY) and Ted Deutch (D-FL) in leading a bipartisan and bicameral group of over two dozen Members of Congress urging European Union member states to designate the entirety of Hezbollah as a terrorist organization. The full text of the letter can be foundhereand below: Dear Ambassador Stoytchev, We write to you with deep appreciation for your work to strengthen the bilateral relationship between the United States and Bulgaria.

Today, the Senate blocked Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell's (Ky.) latest COVID-19 relief proposal, which PSC members assert in the letter that the stripped back package was not nearly enough: While we appreciate Majority Leader McConnell's decision to schedule a vote on askinny'$500 billion COVID-19 relief package, it does not go nearly far enough. More must be done. Given the broad, bipartisan support in Congress, and in the Administration, for a compromise proposal, we respectfully request the Senate also schedule a vote on a broader compromise proposal once produced that meets the urgent needs of the American people.

The fact is time is running out for the American people. We are only 14 days away from the election, after which the prospect of moving stimulus legislation forward is very dim until early February. Every day that passes is another missedopportunity to deliver relief for American families and businesses who will continue to suffer needlessly as a result of Congress failing to do its job.

Today, U.S. Senator Jacky Rosen (D-NV) announced her original co-sponsorship of Senator Jon Tester's (D-MT) Public Lands Leadership Act, legislation that bars the Department of Justice (DOJ) from taking further action on a recent federal court ruling that William Perry Pendley should be removed from his position as de facto Acting Director of the Bureau of Land Management (BLM), and underscores Pendley's problematic public lands record. Nevada's public lands are a source of pride, history, and economic strength for the Silver State, said Senator Rosen. During William Perry Pendley's time at the BLM, Nevada's public lands have been in jeopardy - not just from the threat of climate change, or from the deadly wildfires raging across our nation's Western states but from an unconfirmed and unaccountable acting head of the BLM who is unqualified to be managing our nation's public lands and wildlife. I'm proud to join Senator Tester to introduce this important piece of legislation to prohibit the DOJ from stepping in to protect Mr. Pendley's de facto role at the BLM. I will continue to be an advocate for our environment and fight to protect our nation's public lands. BACKGROUND: Approximately67 percent of the state of Nevada roughly 48 million acres is managed by the Bureau of Land Management. William Perry Pendley has served as director of the BLM for 424 days without a formal nomination from Congress, while exercising the authority of the director, well beyond the 210-day limit for acting directors set out in the Vacancies Reform Act, and flouting Congress's ability to advise and consent to new nominees. In March, Senator Rosen helped introduce theGreat American Outdoors Act(S. 3422), landmark legislation to preserve and protect our country's public lands. The bipartisan legislation provides permanent and full funding for the Land and Water Conservation Fund (LWCF) and addresses the nearly $12 billion maintenance backlog in our national parks and land management agencies.

Today, U.S. Senator Jacky Rosen (D-NV), a member of the Senate Committee on Small Business and Entrepreneurship, and Senator Catherine Cortez Masto, a member of the Senate Committee on Finance, joined Senator Ben Cardin (D-MD), Ranking Member of the Senate Small Business Committee in introducing the HEROES Small Business Lifeline Act. This comprehensive small business package would provide much-needed support for small businesses, live venues, and restaurants across the nation to help weather the economic storm caused by COVID-19. Small businesses are the economic engine of our communities and they need our support during these unprecedented times, said Senator Rosen. I'm proud to co-sponsor the HEROES Small Business Lifeline Act, a comprehensive small business package that would reauthorize and expand the Paycheck Protection Program, recapitalize the EIDL grant program, remove the U.S. Small Business Administration's arbitrary caps on EIDL loans to ensure that eligible small businesses receive increased disaster loan funding, and authorize funding to help revitalize our live venues and restaurants in need. I will continue working on legislation to help small businesses in Nevada and across our country weather this economic storm. Nevada has been one of the hardest hit states by the economic devastation of the coronavirus, said Senator Cortez Masto. Our small businesses are the backbone of our economy. Small business owners need access to loans to pay rent, retain their employees and retool their businesses to safely adjust to the changes needed to safely operate during this difficult time. I'm working to pass the HEROES Small Business Lifeline Act in order to help these struggling neighbors in our communities throughout Nevada, and across the entire country, get access to the critical grants, EIDL and PPP loans they need and ensure that veteran, women and historically-disadvantaged small business owners can also access the relief they need to stay open.

U.S. Senator Jacky Rosen (D-NV) was named a Friend of the Farm Bureau for the 116th Congress. This award, by the American Farm Bureau Federation (AFBF), was given to Senator Rosen for her leadership in supporting Nevada's farming and ranching communities. Nevada's farming community deserves an ally in Washington, said Senator Rosen. Since I arrived to Congress, I've been proud to support our farmers and ranchers and the jobs they create, land management they provide, and all the nourishment they give American families in Nevada and across the country. I'm honored to receive this award and I will continue to fight for Nevada's farmers, ranchers, and agricultural producers. BACKGROUND:Senator Rosen was nominated for this award by the Nevada Farm Bureau. Rosen is a co-sponsor of the Food Supply Protection Act (S. 4453), bipartisan legislation which would authorize new temporary funding streams for emergency feeding organizations and provide $500 million in grants, loans, and loan guarantees for farmers and small and medium-sized food processors to protect workers and build flexibility into the food supply chain. Rosen is also a co-sponsor of the Food Bank Access to Fresh Farm Produce Act of 2020 (S. 3605), which would provide $8 billion for grants to states through USDA's Specialty Crop Block Grant Program, as well as help to address supply chain disruptions due to the coronavirus pandemic. Additionally, Senator Rosen has co-sponsored the RESTAURANTS Act of 2020 (S.4012), legislation that would establish a $120 billion revitalization fund to help independent restaurants deal with the long-term structural challenges facing the industry because of COVID-19. ### | 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 Health, Education, Labor and Pensions (HELP),released the following statement applauding news that the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) recently awarded a grant in the amount of $388,964 to the University of Nevada, Reno (UNR) to assist Nevada's health care in rural communities: Nevada's rural communities need our help during these challenging times, said Senator Rosen. This grant funding will help improve and promote health care services for Nevada's rural communities. The health and safety of Nevadans will always be my top priority, and we must ensure that all Nevadans have access to affordable, quality health care services. BACKGROUND:USDA's National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) recently awarded 10 Rural Health & Safety Education grants. The RHSE program projects are community-based outreach education programs, such as those conducted through Human Science extension outreach, that provide individuals and families with: information as to the value of good health at any age; information to increase individual or family's motivation to take more responsibility for their own health; information regarding rural environmental health issues that directly impact human health; information about and access to health promotion and educational activities; and training for volunteers and health service providers concerning health promotion and health care services for individuals and families in cooperation with state, local, and community partners. Prevention and/or reduction of opioid misuse and abuse, per Congressional guidance, is a major focus of this program. A limited number of projects also focused on helping prevent spread of SARS-CoV-2 and in mitigating infection and transmission of SARS-CoV-2 in rural areas. ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | ||

U.S. Senator Jacky Rosen (D-NV), a member of the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pensions (HELP),joined a bipartisan letter led by Senators Jack Reed (D-RI) and Susan Collins (R-ME) urging the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to release funds for the Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) as swiftly and at the highest level possible under the current continuing resolution: As state agencies work to prepare their LIHEAP programs for the coming winter, it is crucial that they have the resources they need to assist low-income households and seniors as soon as possible, especially in light of the current health crisis. As such, we request that you quickly release LIHEAP funds at the highest level possible to allow states to prepare for the upcoming season, so that low-income households do not have to choose between paying for heat and affording other necessities like food or medicine, wrote the Senators. BACKGROUND:LIHEAP is a federally funded program that helps low-income households with their home energy bills by providing payment and/or energy crisis assistance. In 2018, over 27,000 Nevada households were served by the LIHEAP program. Additionally, over 80% of Nevada households that rely on LIHEAP have at least one vulnerable member (a Nevadan over 60 years of age, a disabled Nevadan, or a Nevadan under the age of 6). In April, Senator Rosen joined a letter urging the Trump Administration to quickly release $900 million in Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) funding that Congress included in the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act.

Rosen's bill passed the House of Representatives last month as part of the HEROES Act 2.0, comprehensive COVID-19 relief legislation. During this critical time, it is vital that we conduct COVID-19 research studies and track patient treatment and intervention outcomes in order to make decisions for our nation's public health and for medical providers to have comprehensive and up-to-date information ,said Senator Rosen.I am glad to announce these new organizations who are supporting my bipartisan legislation that would help provide a better understanding of both the short and long-term health impacts of the coronavirus. I will continue working to protect the health and well-being of Nevadans and all Americans as we confront this unprecedented pandemic. BACKGROUND:In May, Senator Rosen introduced, with Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL), the bipartisan, bicameral Ensuring Understanding of COVID-19 to Protect Public Health Act, legislation that would direct the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to conduct a longitudinal study on mild, moderate, and severe cases of COVID-19 on a diverse patient population to ensure the U.S. gains a full understanding of both the short and long-term health impacts of the novel coronavirus. Identical companion legislation was introduced in the House of Representatives by Reps. Diana DeGette (D-CO), Michael Burgess (R-TX), Anna Eshoo (D-CA), and Brett Guthrie (R-KY).

U.S. Rep. Susie Lee (Nev.-03) hosted a Facebook Live roundtable to discuss Older Americans Act services and resources for Americans who are 55 years of age or older and the importance of supporting those services during the COVID-19 pandemic. Especially during the COVID-19 pandemic, we have a duty to protect our olderAmericans,said Rep. Lee. One of my proudest accomplishments during my first termin Congress was bringing Republicans and Democrats together to reauthorize and strengthen the Older Americans Act. The dozens of critical programs funded by the Older Americans Actaremore important than ever, from Meals on Wheels and family caregiver support to legal services and transportation.We successfully strengthened these programs, but our work isn't done. We need to ensure our seniors know how to access theseservices, whichis why roundtables like today's are so important. BACKGROUND: In March 2020, President Trump signed into law Rep.

It's no secret that this pandemic has taken a toll on Nevada, and in particular, our economy, small businesses, and workforce have felt the impact, said Senator Rosen. As we work through this pandemic, I've made it my priority to protect Nevadans and support our small businesses by introducing bills to help increase our STEM workforce and prepare underrepresented communities for successful careers in STEM. I will continue working in Congress to find solutions that will expand and protect our growing STEM workforce in Nevada and throughout the country. BACKGROUND:In September, Senator Rosen introduced the STEM Restoring Employment Skills through Targeted Assistance, Re-entry, and Training (RESTART) Act, bipartisan legislation that would provide funding to small and medium-sized STEM businesses to offer robust, paid, mid-career internships, known as returnships for mid-career workers seeking to return or transition into the STEM workforce. In June, Senator Rosen also introduced the PROMOTES Act of 2020, bicameral and bipartisan legislation that would authorize the Secretary of Defense to carry out a program to enhance the preparation of high school students in JROTC for military and civilian careers in all STEM fields, including computer science and cybersecurity.

I'm glad to see that, following my call for answers and action, this issue is under investigation by USPS's Inspector General,said Senator Rosen.As I have previously stated, the failure to update address data in the National Change of Address Linkage database (NCOALink) may have real consequences for the disbursement of election mail.

This pandemic created challenges that have impacted our communities, including Nevada's student veteran community, said Senator Rosen. In Congress, I've worked to pass bipartisan legislation to expand housing benefits to student veterans taking part in remote learning during the pandemic, and I've been proud to introduce bipartisan legislation that supports student veterans by increasing access to housing, providing assistance obtaining employment, navigating the GI Bill, and reducing the suicide rate among veterans. I will continue working in Congress to ensure that our student veterans receive the support they need now and in the future. BACKGROUND:Last month, Senator Rosen introduced the VA Zero Suicide Demonstration Project Act, a bipartisan bill that would build upon the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs' (VA) strong suicide prevention efforts by implementing a Zero Suicide Initiative pilot program at five VA medical centers across the nation, one of which must serve primarily veterans who live in rural and remote areas. Last year, Senator Rosen introduced the Hire Student Veterans Act, bipartisan legislation to expand the existing Work Opportunity Tax Credit (WOTC) to ensure that all student veterans using their GI benefits can take advantage of paid internships or work opportunities while in school. Senator Rosen also introduced the GI Bill Planning Act of 2019, bipartisan legislation to provide military enlistees additional time to pick their preferred GI Bill education benefits plan, instead of having to do so at arrival at Basic Training, which is a chaotic environment with little opportunity for recruits to make an informed decision about their future. … | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | ||

As a nation, we must remove the stigma around mental health, said Rep.Lee.Especially right now, in the middle of a pandemic, I will continue to push Congress to adopt policies that make it easier, not harder, for individuals suffering from mental illness to get the help they need.I can't stress how critical this is especially in Nevada, which hasone of the nation's highest suicide rates, as well as limited availability of mental health professionals. That's why I've introduced legislation tobolster mental health support in our public schools, improve suicide prevention efforts,andexpand mental health outreach for our veterans.Butall of these policy goals start with conversations like today's, and with a common understanding that anyone who needs help, should beable toget it. BACKGROUND:In August 2020, Rep. Leeintroduced theCommunities Serving Schools Act, which wouldprovide grants to state and local education agencies toinvest in wrap-around school services that assist with the health, well-being, and stability of students outside of the classroom, including mental health support for K-12 students. In July 2020, Rep.

These past several months have taught us that neither rain, nor snow, nor global pandemic will stop the incredible men and women of the U.S. Postal Service, despite the troubling and often unreliable leadership of Postmaster General DeJoy, said Senator Rosen. Nevadans rely on the Postal Service every day seniors rely on it to receive medication and Social Security checks, rural businesses to keep their shops open, and during the 2020 General Election, the Postal Service will handle the largest vote-by-mail program in American history.

Today, U.S. Senator Jacky Rosen (D-NV), a member of the Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee (HSGAC), released a statement following the release of excerpts from a forthcoming Department of Justice (DOJ) Office of Inspector General (OIG) report on the Trump Administration's family separation policy: The Administration's family separation policy created a humanitarian crisis in our own country, with children ripped away from their parents and detained in horrifying conditions after fleeing to the U.S. to seek asylum, said Senator Rosen. Now, a government watchdog report reveals that U.S. government officials plotted to separate parents and children for the callous purpose of deterring migrants from lawfully seeking refuge in America. In its quest to send a message to immigrant families fleeing violence, the Administration implemented a cruel immigration agenda with no plan for reuniting families or ensuring children were safe while in the government's care.I'm deeply troubled by the findings I've read from this report, and I am committed to working with my colleagues to enact reforms and ensure accountability. BACKGROUND:Last year, Rosen announced her co-sponsorship of the Keep Families Together Act. This legislation, introduced by Senator Dianne Feinstein and 45 other Senate colleagues, would ensure that the federal government carries out immigration procedures in the best interest of detained children. Last month, during a hearing of the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee (HSGAC), U.S. Senator Jacky Rosen (D-NV) questioned Chad Wolf, the Trump Administration's nominee to serve as Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). During her questioning, Senator Rosen highlighted the egregious actions that occurred at DHS during Mr. Wolf's time as Chief of Staff to a former DHS Secretary, as Under Secretary, and under his watch as Acting Secretary, including his direct involvement in the development and implementation of the child separation policy. … | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | ||

This news marks over $850,000 that Senator Rosen will have returned to the Treasury during the last four years. As a Senator, it is my responsibility to ensure that hardworking Nevadans' taxpayer dollars are properly managed, said Senator Rosen. I am pleased to announce that my office will be returning over $250,000 to the United States Treasury. I am proud of my office's efforts to lead the way in good governance. I will continue working in Congress to find areas where we can reduce government spending while ensuring that our efforts are meeting the needs of the American people. BACKGROUND: Senator Rosen has supported a number of efforts to reduce government waste and abuse of taxpayer dollars. Last year, Senator Rosen also returned over $250,000 to the U.S. Treasury. During her time in the House of Representatives, then-Congresswoman Rosen returned over $350,000 to the Treasury. Then-Congresswoman Rosen's office also successfully returned nearly $1 million in benefits to Nevada's hardworking families. ### | 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, and Transportation and the Senate Committee on Homeland Security & Governmental Affairs (HSGAC), and Senator John Hoeven (R-ND) announced their introduction of S.4795, the Cyber Sense Act. This bipartisan legislation would create a voluntary Cyber Sense program at the Department of Energy to test the cybersecurity of products and technologies intended for use in the bulk-power system. Identical companion legislation was introduced in the House of Representatives earlier this year by Reps. Jerry McNerney (D-CA) and Bob Latta (OH-05) and passed the House this week. October is Cybersecurity Awareness Month. If we don't act to address and mitigate cybersecurity risks, our nation will remain vulnerable said Senator Rosen. As our world becomes more digitized, the need for a strong defense of our nation's electric infrastructure has never been more clear. I'm proud to introduce this bipartisan bill to provide much-needed training and technical assistance to electric utilities to address cybersecurity risks and strengthen our national security. I will continue to support legislation that equips our workforce and organizations with the skills needed to improve our nation's electric grid resilience. Our nation's energy systems are essential to every home and business, and vulnerabilities in the grid and other infrastructure represent a real risk to the well-being of our citizens, said Senator Hoeven. Our legislation supports the development and implementation of technologies and practices that will better secure our energy infrastructure from cyber-based attacks, protecting against those who would do us harm. Nevadans depend on electricity delivered to their homes and businesses from utility providers large and small, said David Bobzien, Director of the Nevada Governor's Office of Energy.

Today, U.S. Senator Jacky Rosen (D-NV), a member of the Senate Health, Education Labor and Pensions (HELP) and the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs (HSGAC), and Catherine Cortez Masto (D-NV), a member of the Senate Finance Committee, sent a letter to Department of Education Secretary Besty DeVos and Department of Homeland Security Acting Secretary Chad Wolf, urging the Department of Education (ED) and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to provide adequate support, guidance, and resources to respond to and prevent cyberattacks. This letter comes in response to an increase in cyberattacks during the coronavirus pandemic and a recent cyberattack at the Clark County School District (CCSD). On August 27, a hacker subjected CCSD Nevada's largest school district and our country's fifth largest school district, serving more than 320,000 students to a ransomware attack, wrote the Senators. Last week, the Wall Street Journal reported that, after demanding a ransom, the hacker published documents online containing sensitive information, including employee Social Security numbers, and student names, addresses, and grades. This is unacceptable and requires an immediate federal response. Earlier this spring, the FBI warned that K-12 institutions represent an opportunistic target to hackers as many school districts lack the budget and expertise to dedicate to network integrity. Cyberattacks can be expensive and debilitating, especially for small organizations or public entities, such as schools and school districts. During the COVID-19 pandemic, the number of cyberattacks and ransomware attacks have significantly increased, the Senators' letter continued. Given the increase in cyberattacks during this pandemic, and specifically the cyberattack on CCSD in our home state of Nevada, we urge ED and DHS to take immediate action to respond to these attacks and help our schools, school districts, students, and teachers.

U.S. Rep. Susie Lee (Nev.-03) released the following statementon theongoing COVID-19 pandemic relief negotiations, shortly after she helped the House pass anupdated version of the Heroes Act, which includes key relief she secured for Nevada's stage, aviation, and restaurant workers: The pandemic has hit Nevada's economy the hardest, as shown by the fact that we have the country's worst unemployment rate at 13.2 percent. This is because the current crisis has devastated the primary pillar of Nevada's economy: the travel and tourism industry. It's not just our casino and hotel staff taking a hit, but also our restaurant and convention workers, our entertainment and stage workers, and our aviation workers. The latest proposal in the House, which we passed tonight, includes relief for these Nevadansrelief that I fought for. But let's be clear: that relief doesn't matter if it's not signed into law. As a member of the bipartisan Problem Solvers Caucus, I'm proud that our bipartisan COVID-19 relief proposal helped restart negotiations. I urge negotiators to take that spirit of bipartisanship with them and bring forward a final, bipartisan package that puts party and politics aside in favor of what's best for the American people. I also urge senators of both parties to set politics aside and get this deal across the finish line. There's simply no alternative. BACKGROUND:On Sept. 15, 2020, Rep.

The fear, the trauma, the grief that engulfed our city can't be measured. Since that day, I have seen our city come together in a way that only a strong community can. Our unity made it clear that Vegas Strong' is notjusta catchphrase, it's a part of our identity. No one embodies that identity more than our first responders on the scene, along with the nurses,thedoctors, andthehospital staff working day and night to care for the countless victims. To all of our first responders and health care workers: thank you. In the coming days, reach out to your friends, your family, and your neighbors.

WASHINGTON, D.C. Today, U.S. Senator Jacky Rosen (D-NV) spoke on the Senate floor to commemorate the third anniversary of 1 October, and honor the lives lost as a result of the worst mass shooting in American history. Three years ago, on this very date, in my hometown of Las Vegas, a gunman opened fire from the 32nd floor of the Mandalay Bay Hotel onto the unsuspecting crowd below, said Senator Rosen. This horrific attack lasted just over ten minutes, but in that brief window of time, fifty-eight innocent lives were taken, and over four hundred were injured. It was the worst mass shooting in American history. In the three years since the shooting, two more victims have passed away due to injuries they sustained that night. One in 2019, and one earlier this year, bringing the number of lives lost up to sixty. Sixty families that will forever have an empty chair at their thanksgiving tables, Senator Rosen continued. Amid the violence and the terror, there were also heroes who made the choice to run toward danger, and help others. Nevada remembers 1 October because it showed us the darkest side of humanity. But in the aftermath, it also showed us the brightest and best of who we are. I stand here today to honor the men and women who lost their lives on 1 October, those who were injured in the attack, and the heroes who helped bring our city back, Senator Rosen concluded. I also call on Congress to show the same kind of strength that the people of Las Vegas have shown. Our nation currently faces many challenges, however my colleagues must recognize the threat that gun violence poses to our communities. The bipartisan Background Checks Act, a bill passed by the House 582 days ago, has been waiting for a vote in the Senate. I urge the Senate to bring this bill to a vote. ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | ||

House Veterans' Affairs Subcommittee on Technology Modernization Chair Susie Lee (Nev.-03), led ahearingon the subcommittee's continued oversightofthe U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs' (VA) ongoing efforts to implement the Electronic Health Record Modernization (EHRM) program. When a servicemember transitions from active duty to civilian life, their health records move with them from the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) health care system to the VA health care system. The goal of the EHRM project is to improve and optimize that transition to the VA health care system, ultimately improving veteran care. Rep. Lee led this hearing to examinethe continued delays of the EHRM Program,andwhat needs to be done between now and thenewOct. 24, 2020, go-live date: When we last met, we discussed the announced delay of VA's planned March 28, 2020, go-live,which I supported due to the clear need to address critical VA staff concerns about testing and training. At that time, VA's plan was to try again in July of 2020, which again had to be postponed, this time due to COVID-19 and the need to redirect clinical staff to the pandemic response and because VA program and contractor staff could not readily access VA facilities. VA has informed us that its latest plan is to go live in Spokane on October 24, 2020.However, other aspects of the EHRM program have changed besides the date, and I would like to discuss in detail the impact of those changes. Today I would like to discuss the status of testing and training, staff readiness, and ongoing communication with the veterans who will be impacted. Rep. Lee highlighted how theVA'sinability to implement the EHRM program in a timely manner wouldultimately hurt veterans and their access to health care: I hope to hear today what VA's actual plan is going forward and how it intends to address the scheduling solution in order to address longstanding challenges with ensuring veterans can access timely appointme… | 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 Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, spoke on the Senate floor, condemning the President's failure to denounce white supremacist rhetoric and violence during last night's Presidential debate. At a time when this nation is having a profound discussion about race, with anti-Semitism rearing its ugly head here in the United States and around the globe, and with the nation being torn apart over political differences, our leaders -- particularly our President -- must call out hate in all its forms, said Senator Rosen. Not only did the President of our United States not condemn the White Supremacist violence that he has incited during his tenure he implicitly gave them their marching orders. When asked to condemn the hate group, the Proud Boys, the President of the United States said that they should stand back and stand by.' There is no justification for his words or for his refusal to give a clear, direct, and swift condemnation of White Supremacy, Senator Rosen continued. The President's emboldening of violent extremists comes as the FBI and Department of Homeland Security named white supremacist extremists as the most significant terrorism-related threat to the United States. He didn't misspeak last night, he didn't make a joke, and regardless of what others may say, words matter. His words matter. He is the President of the United States, Senator Rosen concluded. Well let me say today, as the President should have last night -- and I invite all my colleagues to join me in this statement -- I condemn white nationalism, I condemn racism, I condemn anti-Semitism, and I condemn and denounce the groups that promote these vile ideologies, the Proud Boys among them. But we must speak out, and we must take action. I urge my colleagues on both sides of the aisle to not to be complicit in their silence and join me in denouncing white supremacy, as President Trump failed to do. ##… | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | ||

Susie Lee (Nev.-03) released the following statement responding to the latest COVID-19 relief proposal, which the House released yesterday evening: The COVID-19 pandemic has devastated the travel and tourism industrythe primary pillar of Nevada's economy. Since the pandemic began, I have heard the nonstop pleas for help from my constituents to do something to prevent further layoffs and to help the people whose jobs will not return any time soon. One thing is clear: Nevadans need immediate help, not after the election, or even worse, the inauguration. The House passed the original Heroes Act over four months ago and the additional $600 per week in federal unemployment relief expired nearly two months ago, yet Republican and Democratic leaders have failed to meet the urgency with additional relief. Nevada's tourism, restaurant, convention, and live entertainment workers need help now. On September 15th, I and my bipartisan Problem Solvers Caucus colleagues unveiled a COVID-19 relief framework to urge congressional leadership to go back to the negotiating table and produce a new package that would help struggling Americans. I'm now encouraged that negotiations have restarted, and there is renewed energy to get a new, bipartisan COVID-19 relief package passed. In the latest COVID-19 relief proposal, I fought for the inclusion of relief for our stage, aviation, and restaurant workers, all of whom help form the backbone of Nevada's economy. I urge negotiators from both sides of the aisle to keep this essential relief in any final package.

I thought it was important for us to have this roundtable with you to hear your stories and assure you that I'm doing everything I can in my power to make sure we get additional relief to not just the thousands of Nevadans, but the millions of Americans who have been displaced because of this pandemic.

This legislation, led by Senators Richard Durbin (D-IL) and Catherine Cortez Masto (D-NV), would provide a 100 percent subsidy of COBRA health insurance premiums owed by unemployed workers, in nearly all employment-based health plans, to ensure that workers do not lose coverage due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The coronavirus pandemic has resulted in millions of Americans being put out of work, causing them to lose access to their employer-sponsored health insurance,said Senator Rosen.We must act to ensure that all Americans can access health coverage during this critical time. That is why I am proud to co-sponsor this important piece of legislation that would provide workers with a lifeline to maintain their health care during this pandemic. I will continue working in Congress to protect the health of Nevadans and Americans across our nation. BACKGROUND: Since mid-March, approximately 57 million Americans have filed for unemployment benefits, with an estimated 10 to 15 million having also lost their employer-sponsored health insurance. Many unemployed Americans would prefer to remain on their employer health plan, known as COBRA, but it is often prohibitively expensiveon average, $1,700 per month for a family. The following organizations have endorsed the Worker Health Coverage Protection Act: AFL-CIO, UNITE HERE, UNITE HERE Local 1, National Coordinating Committee for Multiemployer Plans, Families USA, American Hospital Association, and Alliance to Fight for Health Care, Actors' Equity Association, Air Line Pilots Association, International (ALPA), Alliance for Retired Americans (ARA), American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees (AFSCME), American Federation of Teachers (AFT), Communications Workers of America (CWA), Guild of Italian American Actors (GIAA), International A… | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | ||

In the letter, the Senators urge the need to work together to support communities affected by wildfire damage. Senator Rosen is a member of the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee (HSGAC), which has jurisdiction over the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). Our states, Tribes, and localities are already over-extended in responding to the coronavirus pandemic and these wildfires are pushing communities to the brink. Congress has given the federal government many tools, including the Wildfire Suppression Operations Reserve Fund and the Disaster Relief Fund, which provide the funding to fight wildfires and provide relief to devastated communities, respectively, wrote the Senators. In meeting the immediate challenge of the fires that are already burning, we appreciate how the federal government has responded so far: federal firefighters are risking their lives to save life and property, and disaster response officials are working day and night to assist families who have lost everything. But, we can do more, continued the Senators. BACKGROUND: In August, Rosen announced her co-sponsorship of the Wildfire Defense Act, comprehensive legislation to help communities implement science-based methods for mitigating wildfire damage. This legislation would provide local communities with up to $10 million dollars to help them develop and carry out a Community Wildfire Defense Plan. Earlier this month: Rosen spoke on the Senate floor about the devastating wildfires ravaging the Western United States and the need to combat the economic and environmental impacts caused by climate change. Rosen joined a letter led by Senator Wyden to Senate and House leaders requesting a replenishment and… | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | ||

Today, U.S. Senator JackyRosen(D-NV)released the followingstatementin observation of the Jewish holiday of Yom Kippur: Today at sundown, Jews around the world will gather in observance of Yom Kippur to reflect on the year that has passed, said Senator Rosen. This Day of Atonement is a time for reflection, humility, and repentance, but it is also a chance to acknowledge our shortcomings and commit ourselves to do better in the year ahead. May this solemn day offer clarity and forgiveness, and may we start this new year with renewed energy and faith in our community of what we can accomplish together. From my family to yours, we wish all those observing Yom Kippur an easy and meaningful fast and a peaceful day of reflection. G'mar Chatimah Tovah. BACKGROUND: Senator Rosen holds the distinction of being the third female Jewish Senator in U.S. history, as well as the first former synagogue president to serve in the United States Senate. Last week, Senator Rosen joined with Senator Kevin Cramer (R-ND) in introducing a bipartisan resolution celebrating the Jewish High Holidays of Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur. Last year, Rosen launched theSenate Bipartisan Task Force for Combating Anti-Semitism, with co-chair Senator James Lankford (R-OK). The Task Force now includes 38 Senators, with an equal number of Democrats and Republicans. ### | 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 news of President Donald Trump's nomination of Judge Amy Coney Barrett to the United States Supreme Court: President Trump and Senate Republicans have tried for years to repeal the Affordable Care Act through legislation and the courts, and very soon, the Supreme Court will consider a case that could overturn the ACA completely. This means that the next Justice will decide whether individuals with pre-existing conditions could be denied health care coverage, said Senator Rosen. Not only does Judge Barrett support the President's plan to dismantle our nation's health care law and eliminate reproductive freedoms, but the rush to confirm her nomination clearly violates the precedent that Senate Republicans set just four years ago for filling a Supreme Court vacancy. In fact, unlike the 2016 election, millions of Americans across the country are already voting. My Republican colleagues should honor their own precedent on this process - the McConnell Rule - and ensure that the American people have their say at the ballot box before the Senate considers a lifetime appointment to the Supreme Court that will determine the future of access to quality, affordable health care in the United States. ### | 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 Small Business and Entrepreneurship and Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, announced the introduction of S.4731, the bipartisan and bicameral Improving Cybersecurity of Small Organizations Act of 2020. The bill, introduced alongside Senator John Cornyn (R-TX) and Representatives Anna G. Eshoo (D-CA) and John Katko (R-NY), would require the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Agency (CISA) to maintain and promote cybersecurity best practices guidance for small organizations, which includes small businesses, small nonprofits, and small governmental agencies. Small organizations are increasingly vulnerable to cyber-attacks, and many of them lack the resources to manage complex cyber risks, said Senator Rosen. I'm proud to introduce the Improving Cybersecurity of Small Organizations Act of 2020. This bipartisan and bicameral legislation will help protect our nation's small businesses, nonprofits, and local governments from the growing threat of cyber-attacks and keep our economy and nation safe. I will continue to support forward-thinking legislation that improves America's digital infrastructure. BACKGROUND: An estimated 43% of online cyber-attacks are aimed at small businesses and cost companies an average of $200,000 in damages, putting many small organizations, particularly those with few resources, at risk of going out of business. Specifically, the bipartisan and bicameral Improving Cybersecurity of Small Organizations Act of 2020 (S.4731): Directs the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) to issue guidance that documents and promotes evidence-based cybersecurity policies and controls for small organizations (i.e., small businesses, nonprofits, and local governments); Requires CISA, the Small Business Administration (SBA), and the Department of Commerce to promote the cybersecurity guidance; Requires the Secretary of Commerce to submit to Congress a report describing methods to inc… | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | ||

U.S. Senator Jacky Rosen (D-NV), a member of the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pensions (HELP), the Special Committee on Aging, and founder of the bipartisan Senate Comprehensive Care Caucus, was named as a 2020 Hospice Action Network Angel Awardee by the Hospice Action Network (HAN), a National Hospice and Palliative Care Organization (NHPCO) affiliate and advocacy organization. Rosen was one of only four senators awarded this honor. As someone who stepped back from my own career to take care of my parents and in-laws as they got older and developed serious health problems, ensuring that our seniors have comprehensive access to hospice and palliative care is an issue that has always been close to my heart, said Senator Rosen. It is an honor to be recognized by the NHPCO for the work I'm doing in Congress, and I hope to continue efforts alongside them to increase access to quality care for patients in need. We are extremely thankful for Senator Rosen for her steadfast leadership and robust support of hospice and palliative care patients and their families who rely on person- and family-centered, interdisciplinary care during their greatest time of need, said NHPCO President and CEO Edo Banach. BACKGROUND: The Hospice Action Network Angel Award was created to recognize policy makers who: Serve hospice and palliative care patients and their families through their legislative efforts; Work to support the vital mission of hospice and palliative care in caring for patients facing serious or life limiting illnesses; and Use their platform to amplify the voices of patients facing serious and terminal illness and their families. Last year, Senator Rosen launched the bipartisanComprehensive 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 expa… | 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 Health, Education, Labor and Pensions (HELP), released the following statement in celebration of National Gaining Early Awareness and Readiness for Undergraduate Programs (GEAR UP) Week, held every September 21st through 25th: Programs like GEAR UP are critical in supporting underrepresented and low-income students who are working toward achieving a higher education, said Senator Rosen. In these challenging times, education is the key to success and helping communities reach new heights. In Nevada, GEAR UP has helped tens of thousands of students unlock their potential through the support and services they provide, guided students through the college application process, and ultimately graduate college. I will continue working in Congress to see that programs like GEAR UP continue to receive funding to assist our students in their educational pursuits. BACKGROUND: Senator Rosen is an original co-sponsor of the bipartisan GEAR UP For Success Act (S.303), which would enhance the GEAR UP federal grant program by giving recipients increased flexibility to cater to the needs of local students, reducing administrative burdens for recipients, and developing a more competitive and fair application process. Last year, Senator Rosen helped introduce the 21st Century Workforce Partnerships Act (S.2670), legislation that would provide federal support for middle and high schools to partner with institutions of higher education, industry partners, and apprenticeship programs to create an education or career training program for students. Nevada System of Higher Education institutions partner with middle and high schools in the state to support and prepare students through their first year of college. The Center for Academic Enrichment and Outreach at UNLV coordinates the largest suite of federally funded TRIO, Title III AANAPISI, NSF LSAMP and GEAR UP programs in the nation.

Susie Lee (Nev.-03) helped pass theClean Economy Jobs and Innovation Act, which would makelong-overdue reforms to U.S. energy policy and authorize major investments in the transition to a low-carbon future. Included in this billisan amendment that is similar to legislation introduced by Rep. Lee, which wouldhelp improve andstreamline permitting processes for residential clean energy systems. These systems include rooftop solar, small wind power, residential battery storage, hydrogen fuel cells, and level two electric vehicle charging. As our country reels from the devastation caused by the pandemic and natural disasters, particularly the fires out West, it's clear we should not have to choose between economic growth and protecting our planet, said Rep. Lee. It's long past time to address climate change, and this bill gets America back on track by reducing our carbon footprint and making a long-term investment in clean energy. My bill, which simplifies solar energy permitting, was included in this package. As a result, more households and businesses will be able to access affordable opportunities to make the switch to solar. Southern Nevada has led the way in solar energy development and installation, and I'm going to make sure that continues.

Susie Lee (Nev.-03) hosted aFacebook Live roundtable on the state of distance education in communities of color and rural communities. Distance education caused by the COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in barriers to learning in communities of color and rural communities due to their disproportionate lack of access to devices and internet service.Representatives from the Clark County School District (CCSD), community groups, and educatorsjoinedRep. Lee to discuss these barriers and what can be done to address them. The COVID-19 pandemic has made inequality in all its forms even more evident across our community, said Rep. Lee. For many of our children, especially in communities of color and rural communities, the lack of access to devices and the internet has created very real barriers for students to receive a quality virtual education. We simply can't let this continue. This roundtable gave me an opportunity to hear directly from officials, advocates, and educators who are on the ground doing the best they can to help our kids learn during this time of disruption. The feedback they shared with me today will help inform the decisions I make in Washington to ensure we're able to tear down these barriers during the pandemic and after it passes. ### | 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 Health, Education, Labor and Pensions (HELP) and the Senate Committee on Small Business and Entrepreneurship, and Senator Cindy Hyde-Smith (R-MS) announced their introduction of S.4677, the STEM Restoring Employment Skills through Targeted Assistance, Re-entry, and Training (RESTART) Act. This bipartisan legislation would provide funding to small and medium-sized STEM businesses to offer robust, paid, mid-career internships, known as returnships for mid-career workers seeking to return or transition into the STEM workforce. Nevada is home to countless innovators, entrepreneurs, and forward-thinking small business owners, said Senator Rosen. However, particularly during our current economic crisis, we must do more to break down the barriers that too many workers face when re-entering or transitioning into the STEM workforce. This bipartisan legislation would create a new national program to support our mid-careers workers by funding mid-level returnships to provide the professional development and support they need to transition back to work in the STEM industry or enter a good-paying STEM field for the first time. This bill will also help bridge the gap between workers who are underrepresented in STEM fields and small businesses looking for qualified talent. I will continue working in Congress to develop forward-thinking solutions that support our workforce and small business community during this crisis. There are any number of reasons many talented people, particularly women, leave their careers for a period of time. We're proposing a program to aid reentry into the workforce for underrepresented individuals with STEM-related skills. Our measure would help fulfill a need for qualified workers in small and mid-sized businesses that are driving STEM job growth, said Senator Hyde-Smith. I think this is a smart solution to help get people back to work, increase the financial standing of many families, and boost economic a… | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | ||

U.S. Senator Jacky Rosen (D-NV), a member of the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pensions (HELP), joined Senators Chuck Schumer (D-NY), Patty Murray (D-WA), and 31 of their Senate colleagues in introducing the Science and Transparency Over Politics (STOP) Act. This legislation would create a taskforce to investigate instances of political interference with our nation's COVID-19 response. Over 200,000 Americans have died as a result of the coronavirus, and yet this Administration continues to play politics and interfere with medical and scientific decisions and recommendations, said Senator Rosen. We cannot allow this Administration to politicize the actions of our health agencies when lives are on the line. This legislation would investigate and put a stop to instances of political interference at agencies of the Department of Health and Human Services. We must ensure that our nation's pandemic response and health care decisions are made by medical experts and facts. BACKGROUND: The STOP Act would create a task force of the Pandemic Response and Accountability Committee charged with conducting a thorough investigation into any political interference with decisions made by scientific agencies of the Department of Health and Human Services in connection with the pandemic response. These reports would be released to committees of jurisdiction and could be made public so Americans and independent experts can see with full transparency whether scientists were unimpeded in their work or a product was pushed for political reasons. Additionally, the task force would have full discretion to release any information that it deems is in the public interest and may be important to public safety. The push for additional oversight of the Trump Administration comes following a barrage of alarming instances of Trump officials undermining the work of public health agencies on the frontlines of the COVID-19 pandemic. ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | ||

U.S. Rep. Susie Lee (Nev.-03) spoke on the floor of the House of Representatives in support of theCommander John Scott Hannon Veterans Mental Health Care Improvement Act.This bill will implementa comprehensive and aggressive strategy to reach more veterans with the mental health care they need. The following is a transcript of Rep. Lee's remarks: I stand today in support of Senate Bill 785, the Commander John Scott Hannon Veterans Mental Health Care Improvement Act. In addition to making critical updates related to VA transition assistance, mental health care, and care for women veterans, this billalsoincludes an important provisionthatI championed here in the House in the form of the VA Telehealth Expansion Act, which would provide entitieswith grantsexpanding telehealth capabilities to serve veterans throughout theVA. We knowthe stat that over 20 veterans take their life by suicide each day, and not one suicide is acceptable. Many of those veterans are not accessing VA care, and we know telehealth is another venue to allow those veterans increased access to care. And whether a veteran is homebound, in a rural community, in acommunitywithoutaccess to a VA clinic or hospital, or as we've seen during this pandemic, at high risk of dying if they catch COVID-19, this pandemic has shown usjusthow critical it is for our veterans to be able to accesshealth care through telehealth. In my home stateof Nevada, in just one weekthat Southern Nevada began responding to the COVID-19 pandemic, the number ofveterans in theSouthernNevada Healthcare Systemwho hadtelehealth visits, that numberwas just under 150. Fast forward to the week of July 19, they were providing over 2,000 video visits to veterans in their homes via VA Video Connect. That means that telehealth video visits increased by over 1,000 percent. It's abundantly clear that telehealth has provided improved access in health care for so many veterans, and we must continue to invest in the… | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
