Amodei A000369 amodei.house.gov amodei https://amodei.house.gov/news-releases scraper WASHINGTON, D.C. – Rep. Mark Amodei issued the following statement after voting in favor of the American Relief Act, 2025: “In true 118th Congress fashion, we ended the year by narrowly escaping a government shutdown at the eleventh hour,” said Rep. Mark Amodei. “With President Trump’s leadership, we successfully reduced a 1,547-page spending package into a clean 118-page deal that keeps the lights on. “I am disappointed by the actions of some House Democrats and a minority of Republicans who voted to hold the government hostage last night, allowing perfect to be the enemy of good. The most important duty of Congress is to keep the government operational and step in when our neighbors, suffering from natural disasters, need our support. A continuing resolution is never ideal, and while sounding the shutdown alarm seems tough, it solves nothing and only creates chaos for the incoming administration. It would also leave our servicemembers out in the cold while they serve our nation during the holidays. This is not the right approach for a positive path forward. “I voted in favor of this package because it enables us to provide much needed relief to communities devastated by natural disasters, secure economic stability for our agriculture industry, and establish a solid foundation for the next administration to champion the America First agenda. “Looking ahead, there will be time early next year to address the price tag of this legislation during the reconciliation process. In November, America’s voice delivered a clear mandate for change by granting Republicans a trifecta majority in the 119th Congress. With this responsibility comes a firm commitment to break from the past, confront the status quo, and implement lasting solutions to rein in the wasteful spending that has plagued Washington for far too long.” 1 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z 2026-04-06T19:07:19Z

Elon Musk and Donald Trump ordered House Republicans to walk away from a bipartisan deal that would have included $70 million in investments for Nevada, including $34 million towards disaster and economic relief for our farmers and $8.55 million in critical infrastructure repair funding. And now, over 12,000 federal employees in Nevada could be furloughed, days before the holidays. “Once again, the public servants that help Nevadans are being used as pawns in partisan games. Rather than giving in to the chaos and division, I am focused on practical solutions that protect Nevada families and keep the government open and working for the people. Nevadans deserve leadership that prioritizes stability and progress, and I will continue to work for the resources our communities need to thrive.” 1 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z 2026-04-06T19:07:19Z

It will keep the government open, lower costs, invest $70 million in Nevada, and strengthen our national security. “I am once again asking House Republican Leadership to work with both parties on a long-term budget.” ### 1 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z 2026-04-06T19:07:19Z

The EXPLORE Act passed out of U.S. House in April and now heads to President Biden to be signed into law. Lee’s two provisions in the EXPLORE Act are: The Biking On Long-Distance Trails (BOLT) Act to expand outdoor recreation opportunities by identifying potential long-distance bike trails and expanding mapping resources for long-distance bikers. The Protecting America’s Rock Climbing (PARC) Act to clarify Congress’ intent for climbing to be an allowable and compatible activity on wilderness designations, with the goal of preventing land management agencies from prohibiting fixed anchors as illegal installations. “Nevada is home to some of the world’s most incredible public lands and my bipartisan legislation will expand access to hiking, biking, and climbing opportunities for all,” said Congresswoman Susie Lee. “I look forward to the President signing my BOLT and PARC Acts into law to strengthen outdoor recreation.” Read more about the bipartisan legislation here. Below: Congresswoman Lee biking and climbing across southern Nevada, including with world-famous free solo climber and NV-03 constituent Alex Honnold. Congresswoman Lee has been a champion for expanding access to Nevada public lands and frequently hikes and bikes through them. Last year, she joined world-famous free solo climber Alex Honnold, a constituent of Nevada’s Third Congressional District, on a local climb to discuss the importance of recreational climbing sites and her legislation to protect them. 1 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z 2026-04-06T19:07:19Z

I’d like to extend my congratulations to all the participants and especially to our first-place winner, Abesalom Webb, whose app, Emotion Matcher, stands out as an innovative tool to foster emotional intelligence.” First Place: Emotion Matcher by Abesalom Webb Emotion Matcher uses artificial intelligence to help users recognize emotions by analyzing hand-drawn facial expressions. It’s especially beneficial for individuals seeking to improve their emotional intelligence or those with conditions like Alexithymia that make emotion recognition challenging. The app’s inspiration came from personal experiences with his cousin Nate, who struggles with identifying emotions. Second Place: Diplomat by Asher Kay Diplomat streamlines the process of organizing Model United Nations tournaments by eliminating the need for email communication. The app’s inspiration came from Asher’s involvement in Speech and Debate and his desire to bring similar efficiency and modernization to the Model UN community. Third Place: Mental Health Forum by Ronan Fay Mental Health Forum facilities community support through user-generated posts and provides a map of mental health facilities in the Las Vegas area. The app’s inspiration came from a desire to provide accessible resources and support for those experiencing mental health challenges.

https://susielee.house.gov/media/press-releases/passed-congresswoman-lees-bipartisan-bill-speed-housing-infrastructure-and-0 PASSED: Congresswoman Lee’s Bipartisan Bill to Speed Up Housing, Infrastructure, and Conservation Projects Passes Senate with Overwhelming Support 2024-12-18 2024 2024-12 Democrat House NV Susie Lee L000590 susielee.house.gov susielee https://susielee.house.gov/media/press-releases scraper WASHINGTON – Today, Congresswoman Susie Lee’s (NV-03) bipartisan Accelerating Appraisals and Conservation Efforts (AACE) Act passed the U.S. Senate with overwhelming support from both parties. The legislation — co-led by Republican David Joyce (OH-14) and supported by stakeholders ranging from the Nevada Conservation League to the U.S. Chamber of Commerce — will ensure that Department of the Interior (DOI) public land transactions are completed effectively and efficiently by increasing access to qualified and cost-competitive appraisers. It was led by Senator Catherine Cortez Masto (D-NV) in the Senate and is endorsed by Nevada Governor Joe Lombardo. With its passage in the House and the Senate, the bill now heads to the President’s desk. “We can’t let red tape get in the way of key land transactions that will help build more homes and cut housing costs,” said Congresswoman Lee. “The AACE Act cuts through red tape by giving the Department of the Interior a much-needed tool to more quickly get land deals done at no additional cost to the American taxpayer. My bipartisan bill is just one step away from being signed into law.” DOI oversees hundreds of millions of acres of public lands nationwide, but before it can complete any land transactions, it must first guarantee that these transactions are done at fair market value. With growing demands, the agency has had to rely increasingly on private appraisers who can only work in the specific states where they are credentialed — unlike full-time federal appraisers, who have been able to work quickly and easily across state lines for decades. This creates bottlenecks that undermine conservation, economic, housing, and infrastructure projects on public lands. The AACE Act will tackle federal appraisal bottlenecks by making more appraisers available to DOI. The bill will cut government red tape and maximize DOI's efficiency without spending a single additional dollar of taxpayers' money. It will also require DOI to continue to prioritize working with local appraisers,… 1 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z 2026-04-06T19:07:19Z

The legislation had previously passed out of the House and Senate with overwhelming support from both parties. It is also supported by Nevada Governor Joe Lombardo. “Abandoned hardrock mines in Nevada and across the country are poisoning our waters, threatening Tribal lands, and their hazardous landscapes have injured and killed Americans. For 25 years, bills like this one to clean up these mines have stalled because of Washington politics. Today, we made history by finally empowering nonprofits and agencies that are willing and able to assist this long overdue clean up,” said Congresswoman Susie Lee (NV-03). “Because of commonsense bipartisanship, our nation is now on a path to cleaner waters and safer landscapes.” In a statement, President Biden thanked Congresswoman Lee and her fellow co-leads for their leadership. There are hundreds of thousands of abandoned hardrock mines scattered throughout the country, particularly concentrated in the American West — with an estimated 300,000 historic mining-related features and sites located in Nevada alone. Many of these sites pose direct risks to human health, the environment, and tribal lands, sending mercury, arsenic, lead and other toxic materials into Western waters and communities in addition to the physical dangers they present. State and local agencies and non-profit organizations that have no legal or financial responsibility for these abandoned hardrock hazards — true Good Samaritans — actively want to volunteer to clean up some of these sites, but they currently risk incurring the same liability that would have applied to the original and often long-defunct polluters… 1 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z 2026-04-06T19:07:19Z

Amodei A000369 amodei.house.gov amodei https://amodei.house.gov/news-releases scraper WASHINGTON D.C. – Rep. Mark Amodei issued the following statement after being granted a waiver by House Leadership to serve not only on the House Committee on Appropriations, but also on the House Committee on Natural Resources: "Given Nevada's wealth of natural resources and the fact that 85% of the state is federally owned, it's imperative for Nevada to have strong representation on the Natural Resources Committee,” said Rep. Mark Amodei. “Securing a waiver from leadership is no easy task, especially when you are chairing a key Appropriations Subcommittee, such as Homeland Security. "I am incredibly honored to once again join this committee to advocate for the unique needs of the West, champion the use of our resources to drive economic prosperity, and promote responsible stewardship of our lands for future generations to enjoy. "There is no stronger position to advance Nevada’s needs than serving as the Vice Chair on the Appropriations Interior Subcommittee while also being a member of the Natural Resources Committee. I look forward to hitting the ground running regarding federal land management policy in the 119th Congress.” The House Committee on Natural Resources considers legislation about American energy production, mineral lands and mining, fisheries and wildlife, public lands, oceans, Native Americans, irrigation and reclamation.

As an advocate for working families, Congressman Horsford released the following statement about his participation in the caucus to protect their interests: “I’m here to defend the working families in Nevada that I represent. Being part of the DOGE Caucus makes sure I have a seat at the table during conversations about streamlining government programs and cutting waste. While we work to make our government more efficient, I appreciate that Republicans have made clear they will not propose cuts to vital programs like Social Security and Medicare, which are essential to our seniors and working families. I will continue to advocate to make sure any changes benefit our communities, not harm them. There’s a lot of work to be done, and I intend to make sure that the priorities of Nevadans are front and center.” 1 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z 2026-04-06T19:07:19Z

These commutations build on the success of the CARES Act, which I voted for to allow individuals to reintegrate safely into society during the pandemic. But even as we celebrate this progress, let’s remember that thousands of individuals remain trapped in outdated and unjust sentences that would be shorter under today’s laws. President Biden has the power to bring more families together and set a precedent for future administrations to follow. I urge him to continue reviewing petitions and take steps to urgently address these inequities.” Congressman Horsford has long supported addressing systemic inequities in the justice system and creating opportunities for redemption and rehabilitation, including voting for the CARES Act to provide a pathway for individuals to reintegrate into their communities. 1 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z 2026-04-07T22:13:55Z

While he opposes the last-minute inclusion of provisions that undermine the dignity and well-being of military families, he voted in favor of addressing Nevada’s unique defense needs and supporting local servicemembers. The FY25 NDAA passed the House with a vote of 281-140. “This year’s NDAA includes significant resources for Nevada that I worked to secure, including funding for military construction, pay raises for servicemembers, and expanded support for military families,” said Congressman Horsford. “I am proud to have fought for these wins that will improve the lives of service members and their families in Nevada and across the nation. However, I remain concerned about the harmful, last-minute provisions that strip healthcare away from military families and put politics ahead of their well-being. I will work to reverse these policies so we uphold the dignity and well-being of all military families.” The FY25 NDAA includes wins secured by Congressman Horsford, including $25 million for the Nevada National Security Site’s PULSE project, $18 million for military construction at the Hawthorne Army Depot, and measures to evaluate quality-of-life improvements at Creech and Nellis Air Force Bases. Additionally, he helped ensure the bill includes funding to modernize military allowances, including raising the Basic Needs Allowance threshold to 200% of the federal poverty guidelines and improving the Basic Allowance for Subsistence. The bill also invests $102.3 million in Historically Black Colleges and Universities, establishes a perinatal mental health program, advances key reporting on military child care access and energy resilience, and retains Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion initiatives that promote fairness and opportunity within th… 1 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z 2026-04-07T22:13:55Z

I was proud to also secure several provisions to improve health care for southern Nevada’s servicemembers and boost our military readiness,” said Congresswoman Susie Lee.

Language paving the way for Lee’s Military and Educational Data Integration Act to help states provide better information to students about military service as a possible career path, as well as language protecting and expanding the Junior Reserve Officers’ Training Corps (JROTC). Requirements from the Blast Overpressure Safety Act, which Lee co-leads, to better protect servicemembers from blast overpressure and traumatic brain injuries sustained in the line of duty.

This version of the legislation has already been negotiated by both chambers of Congress and now heads to the Senate for final passage. It is expected to be signed into law by the President this year. “No one knows better than a Nevadan just how precious our water is. That’s why I made securing water infrastructure investments for Laughlin and the Las Vegas Wash my top priorities for the bipartisan Water Resources Development Act of 2024,” said Colorado River Caucus Vice-Chair Susie Lee. “The Senate has included my provisions for Laughlin and the Las Vegas Wash in the final bill, and we expect it to be signed into law by President this year.” Included in the bipartisan legislation are Congresswoman Lee’s top priorities for Southern Nevada: To authorize $29 million in United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) environmental infrastructure assistance for improvements to the Big Bend Water District Water Treatment and Delivery System in Laughlin, NV. To include an adapted version of Congresswoman Lee’s Las Vegas Wash Program Extension Act as part of WRDA 2024, which will raise the funding cap of the Las Vegas Wash program from $40 million to $60 million. Sitting at the southern tip of Nevada, Laughlin is struggling with water infrastructure no longer sufficient to meet its needs, especially in the event of an emergency. The town’s water treatment and delivery system is the only such system managed by the Las Vegas Valley Water District that lacks a secondary water source and lags in water storage capacity. To meet this crisis, Congresswoman Lee requested assistance to update Laughlin’s water system, which includes the construction of a new groundwater well.

One year ago, UNLV students and faculty were instructed to RUN-HIDE-FIGHT. They barricaded themselves behind classroom doors, hid under their desks, and texted their family ‘I love you.’ By day’s end, three faculty members were taken from us: Patricia Navarro-Velez, Jerry Chang, and Naoko Takemaru. “We must end this sick cycle of gun violence, and it can never be normalized. This was not normal last year and it is not normal today. In Congress, we have passed historic gun safety legislation, but it’s not enough.

This legislation would ensure that veterans’ disability and pension payments don’t count as income when determining eligibility for affordable housing programs, removing a significant barrier to safe and affordable housing. “Our veterans have given so much for this country, and it’s our responsibility to make sure they aren’t left behind when it comes to affordable housing,” said Congressman Horsford. “This bill is about fairness and making sure that those who served aren’t penalized for the benefits they earned. I’m proud to stand with my colleagues to ensure that our disabled veterans have the support they need to thrive.” The Fair Housing for Disabled Veterans Act removes an issue in current housing programs that disqualifies many disabled veterans from affordable housing because their service-related benefits push them over income limits. This bill would ensure disabled veterans can access these programs without sacrificing the stability those benefits are intended to provide. By removing the barrier, the legislation would take a step forward to combat veteran homelessness and support veterans as they transition to civilian life. 1 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z 2026-04-07T22:13:55Z

This legislation would eliminate referral requirements for obstetric and gynecologic care under TRICARE Prime, providing service members and their families with more timely and effective access to critical health services. “Military families face enough challenges without unnecessary barriers to essential healthcare,” said Congressman Horsford. “The TOTAL Care Act will streamline access to OB-GYN care to ensure families don’t experience delays that can lead to more serious health concerns. Every servicemember and their dependents deserve healthcare that works for them.” "OB-GYN care is primary care,” said Congresswoman Houlahan. “As a veteran, I am proud to stand with my colleagues to introduce this long overdue legislation to ensure our servicemembers and their families receive care in line with their civilian counterparts and without additional referrals or barriers," said Houlahan. "Today, there are more women in our armed forces than ever. They should not be unfairly burdened simply because they raised their right hands in service. With retention issues looming and increasing global conflicts abroad, now is the time to double down in our dedication to our servicemembers. This bipartisan effort reaffirms that they matter and that their care is paramount to our collective security.” The TOTAL Care Act establishes a pilot program to allow TRICARE Prime beneficiaries to seek obstetric and gynecologic care without a referral. This includes ordering related medical items and designating an OB-GYN provider as an additional primary care provider. By addressing delays caused by referral requirements, this legislation seeks to improve outcomes for women’s health while reducing the strain on primary care providers.

"President Biden’s intentionally vague ‘full and unconditional pardon’ of his son Hunter Biden, despite repeatedly claiming such action would never occur, is textbook abuse of power from the highest office. This Administration has single-handedly stained the integrity of our justice system and solidified their disturbing belief that the law does not apply to them, further validating the critical work of the Oversight Committee.

For more than 40 years, the LIHEAP program has provided federal assistance for families to protect their homes against hot summers and cold winters. LIHEAP helps prevent energy shutoffs, restore services, make minor energy-related home repairs, and weatherize homes to make them more energy efficient. The investment comes in part through the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, which Lee helped negotiate and pass. “Lowering energy costs are top of mind for southern Nevadans, especially as temperatures start to drop this winter,”said Congresswoman Susie Lee. “Federal investments like this can give working families a little bit more breathing room. I’m glad that I could help play a part in delivering these investments through the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law.” ### 1 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z 2026-04-07T21:57:20Z

Provided by targeted land sales under the Southern Nevada Public Land Management Act (SNPLMA), this investment will support recreation improvement, wildlife habitat conservation, hazardous fuels reduction, wildfire prevention, and job creation, through the Department of the Interior. As Southern Nevada’s only member of the House Appropriations Committee, Lee has consistently fought to protect SNPLMA funding to ensure that this important program can continue to benefit Nevadans. “This new investment will help ensure that Southern Nevada remains a world-class outdoor recreation destination and conservation leader. It will protect our water and lands, improve our outdoor recreation infrastructure, and combat the climate crisis,” said Congresswoman Susie Lee. “As Southern Nevada’s only voice on the Appropriations Committee, I will continue to secure federal investments for environmental conservation, economic development, and job creation.” “Since 1998, public land sales in the Las Vegas Valley have fueled projects that benefit communities and elevate quality of life for residents and visitors," said Acting Deputy Interior Secretary Laura Daniel-Davis. "This program supports jobs and local economies, improves recreation in rural and underserved areas, and aligns with our commitment to conserve at least 30% of U.S. lands and waters by 2030 under the America the Beautiful initiative." Lee has also worked with local and federal partners to leverage SNPLMA sales to address Nevada’s housing crisis. Earlier this month, Lee helped unveil a new housing project of more than 200 affordable, single-family homes in Nevada’s Third Congressional District, provided by a first-of-its-kind sale of public lands below fair market value.

As an early supporter of the project, Congressman Horsford played a key role in ensuring its progress, working closely with the Department of the Interior and the Council on Environmental Quality. “I’m proud to have America’s most advanced new lithium project right here in Nevada’s Fourth Congressional District,” said Congressman Horsford. “This project reinforces Nevada’s leadership as the only state with significant lithium production and strengthens our country’s domestic reliance on a critical mineral essential for fighting climate change. The Rhyolite Ridge project will power our transition to clean energy, create hundreds of good-paying jobs, and boost our local economy.” The Rhyolite Ridge project will provide enough lithium to power nearly 370,000 electric vehicles annually, supporting the Biden-Harris Administration’s climate goals. Located in Nevada’s Fourth District, this project cements Nevada’s role as a leader in lithium production and ensures long-term economic benefits through the creation of up to 500 construction jobs and 350 permanent jobs during operations. The mine is expected to generate $125 million in annual wages, providing significant economic support to local communities, including job training and scholarship opportunities. Environmental protections are a key part of the project’s design. The Bureau of Land Management and the project developers collaborated with federal agencies to protect Tiehm’s buckwheat, a rare plant found only in the project area. Conservation measures include redesigning project features to limit impacts on the plant and developing a formal protection plan. 1 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z 2026-04-07T21:57:20Z

These Fiscal Year 2025 investments were made possible by the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, which Congresswoman Lee helped negotiate and pass. Specifically, the federal investments are coming to Nevada by way of EPA’s State Revolving Funds: $13,270,000 is coming via the Clean Water State Revolving Fund (CWSRF) — $1,054,000 of which will specifically address emerging contaminants such as PFAS in wastewater, stormwater, and nonpoint source pollution. $7,921,000 is coming via the Drinking Water State Revolving Fund (DWSRF), with the primary purpose of addressing emerging contaminants — including PFAS — in drinking water. “Protecting our local water supply means making sure that Nevada’s water is clean and safe from harmful contaminants like PFAS,” said Congresswoman Lee. “I helped negotiate and pass the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law because it I knew it would secure the federal resources we need in Nevada, just like today’s investments. I’ll continue working to bring back federal dollars so we can deliver clean drinking water to our homes, schools, and businesses while safely managing our wastewater.” In 2023 alone, Congresswoman Lee helped deliver more than $122 million in federal water investments to southern Nevada and recently secured all three of her priorities in the bi-annual Water Resources Development Act that passed out of the House. 1 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z 2026-04-07T21:57:20Z

Dave Joyce (OH-14), Chris Pappas (NH-01), and Juan Ciscomani (AZ-06). The legislation would improve coordination between various law enforcement agencies to secure the southern border. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has periodically established joint operations hubs to help multiple law enforcement agencies work together to strengthen border security and crack down on transnational criminal activity, such as drug, weapon, and human trafficking. This bill expands on this successful interagency cooperation model by establishing additional Joint Operation Centers along the southern border. The bill has been endorsed by the National Border Patrol Council, National Immigration Forum, the Texas Border Coalition, and the Major Cities Chiefs Association. A companion bill was previously introduced in the Senate by Senators Cortez-Masto (D-NV) and Blackburn (R-TN). “Border Patrol officers need all the help they can get to protect our southern border, and Joint Operation Centers are a proven way to make that happen,” said Congresswoman Susie Lee. “I’ve consistently voted to secure the resources and reforms we need to fix our broken immigration system, and this bipartisan bill is a big step in the right direction.

The Military and Educational Data Integration Act would help states access military enlistment data to better inform both high school students and educators on military careers and more accurately track the outcome of students who choose a career in the military after graduation. This bipartisan legislation addresses a critical gap in information that currently prevents schools from effectively informing students about the diverse and rewarding career options available within the military and verifying that they have adequately prepared students for military careers. With accurate and timely data, educators can provide students with a clearer understanding of the benefits and opportunities military service offers, ranging from engineering to healthcare roles. “Serving our country in the armed forces is an honor and a legitimate career path for students with a wide variety of professional and academic interests,” said Congresswoman Susie Lee. “Students and families deserve the best information possible to choose the path that best fits their needs and goals.

The bill would adjust the household income calculation used to determine eligibility for Affordable Care Act (ACA) premium subsidies, which would ease financial burdens and expand health coverage. “While I’ve worked to lower prescription drug costs and expand healthcare tax credits through the Inflation Reduction Act, families in Nevada and across the country continue to face unacceptably high health insurance costs,” said Congressman Horsford. “This bill will help parents and guardians and make healthcare more affordable and attainable by easing the unintended costs on families with working children. As a member of the House Ways and Means Committee and its Subcommittee on Health, I will continue to push for policies that expand access to affordable, quality healthcare to all families.” "Congressman Horsford is a champion of hardworking families and making health care affordable,” said Brad Woodhouse, Executive Director of Protect Our Care. “The Dependent Income Exclusion Act will ensure that families with children who pick up a part-time job or enroll in a job training program aren't penalized by having to pay more for their health care. This bill demonstrates how Democrats are working tirelessly to give families more room to breathe and to ensure that people can afford the health care they need to thrive.” The Dependent Income Exclusion Act would address the healthcare affordability gap by allowing families to exclude a portion of their dependents' income from the modified adjusted gross income used to determine eligibility for premium tax credits. Specifically, this exclusion applies to dependents under the age of 18 or those under 24 who are part-time students, apprentices, or participants in job training programs.

Mark Amodei. “While it may sound sexy or tough to talk of shut down, without out a plan for what specifically that policy objective is, and a plan for how to reopen the shuttered federal government, it looks like a political temper tantrum. So, on balance a shutdown that negatively impacts border patrol agents from handling the crisis at our southern borders, servicemen and women from receiving the care they deserve, and communities devastated by natural disasters from receiving the relief they need to name a few, and which further would occur on the eve of a significant federal election, hardly sounds like a good idea. “Everyone knows there is plenty of room for improvement, but a shutdown at this point brings nothing resembling improvement. “On the continuing resolution — I voted yes.” Background This legislation delivers funds to strengthen Secret Service’s Presidential protection efforts, allows respective federal agencies to continue addressing the needs of our veterans and seniors, and keeps the doors open of programs that support communities who have been devastated by natural disasters: 1 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z 2026-04-07T21:43:57Z

That’s 3,500 families in southern Nevada who have been mistreated in the name of corporate greed. I applaud the FTC for cracking down on the corporate landlords who take advantage of working families.

The legislation cuts government red tape by giving geothermal projects the same flexibility to explore and develop on previously disturbed or studied public lands that the oil and gas industry has had for nearly two decades. That means clean energy projects will be on a more level playing field while creating jobs, cutting emissions, and reducing foreign energy dependence. Congresswoman Lee championed this legislation with Congresswoman Michelle Steel (R-CA-45) in the House and Senators Catherine Cortez Masto (D-NV) and Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) in the Senate. Nevada is already the second-largest producer of geothermal in the country, but government red tape is getting in the way of truly maximizing Nevada’s — and the nation’s — abundant resources with next-generation geothermal technology. Nevada is now home to the country’s first enhanced geothermal plant, “Project Red,” the result of a partnership between Google and Fervo Energy — which is actively producing carbon-free energy to power Google Cloud operations in Las Vegas as well as data centers across the state. The U.S. Department of Energy has found that enhanced geothermal systems such as Project Red could extend geothermal energy production nationwide and affordably power the equivalent of more than 65 million U.S. homes. “If we want to fully unleash our renewable energy potential, then we need to cut the red tape that has been a barrier to the growth of geothermal energy development,” said Congresswoman Lee. “I want to thank Congresswoman Steel for partnering on this commonsense, bipartisan bill to strengthen energy independence and help lower costs for the working families we represent.” “Geothermal energy is a vital tool to make America more energy independent and less reliant on our adversaries.

The bill will now move to the President’s desk. “It is our responsibility to keep the environment around beautiful Lake Tahoe in quality shape for future generations to enjoy,” said Rep. Mark Amodei. “The reauthorization of the Lake Tahoe Restoration Act will continue to provide the resources and oversight to do just that. I was proud to lead the effort in the House and am grateful to Senator Cortez Masto for her bicameral partnership in securing this sufficient funding which properly lays out program strategies to restore healthy water conditions, reduce wildfire threats and extract invasive species threatening the Lake Tahoe Basin and its surrounding community.” "The Lake Tahoe Region is grateful to Congress for their leadership in passing this critical piece of legislation to continue the collaborative work to protect and restore Lake Tahoe," said Tahoe Regional Planning Agency Executive Director Julie Regan. "Extending the federal investment in the EIP will leverage millions of dollars in state and local funding to implement the top priority projects for the lake and our communities."

This legislation aims to address the unique challenges faced by the Airmen and families stationed at Creech Air Force Base to ensure they receive the support they need while serving at this important military installation in Nevada. “The servicemembers at Creech Air Force Base are a crucial part of our national security, but they face challenges accessing necessary services like housing, healthcare, and childcare,” said Congressman Horsford. “The Creech HUNTER Act will ensure we are meeting the needs of these Airmen and their families by providing greater transparency and accountability. Their resilience deserves our full support.” Creech Air Force Base, located near Indian Springs, is home to the "Hunters" of the 432d Wing and 432d Air Expeditionary Wing, as well as the Air Force’s global Remotely Piloted Aircraft (RPA) Enterprise. Despite its importance to national defense, the Airmen at Creech and their families face significant hardships due to the base's remote location and lack of essential on-base services. This legislation responds to the long-standing issues facing servicemembers at Creech, including long commutes to Nellis Air Force Base for essential services, rising living costs, and limited on-base resources. It reflects Congressman Horsford’s commitment to making sure that these Airmen and their families receive the necessary support to thrive, both in service and their daily lives. The bill would require the Secretary of the Air Force to provide a briefing to Congress by December 31, 2024 about: 1 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z 2026-04-07T21:43:57Z

This federal investment, to be provided to the Southern Nevada Water Authority, will go toward the construction of an erosion control structure, known as a weir, in the Lower Las Vegas Wash within Lake Mead National Recreation Area. The Las Vegas Wash is a critical drought mitigation tool and the primary drainage channel for the Las Vegas Valley watershed, carrying around 200 million gallons of water to Lake Mead daily. The additional weir will help filter the water returning to the lake and improve habitat conditions for endangered wildlife, fortifying the Wash for years to come. "Nobody knows better than a Nevadan how important our water is, and today’s announcement is another huge win to protect both our local and regional water supply,” said Congresswoman Susie Lee. “The Las Vegas Wash is critical to keeping more water in Lake Mead as well as ensuring safe and clean water for this generation and those to come. I’ll keep fighting to bring back federal dollars to strengthen southern Nevada’s water infrastructure.” The investment is funded in part by the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, which Congresswoman Lee helped negotiate and pass last Congress. In 2023 alone, Lee delivered more than $122 million for local water projects and infrastructure. This year, she secured another $4 million for the Lake Mead/Las Vegas Wash Program. ### 1 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z 2026-04-07T21:43:57Z

The Supporting Patient Education And Knowledge (SPEAK) Act, co-led by Congresswoman Michelle Steel (CA-45), would improve access to health care information technologies such as telehealth and patient portals. Nearly 30% of Nevadans regularly speak a language other than English at home, but local health care services do not reflect appropriate language capabilities to get them the care they need. Meanwhile, every county in Nevada is already designated as a health professional shortage area with inadequate telehealth services, making it difficult to get care to southern Nevadans regardless of the language they speak. The SPEAK Act would require the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to create a task force of industry experts and stakeholders to improve health care information technology such as teleheath and patient portals, as well as using interpreters, providing accessible instructions, and enabling multi-person video calls. The task force would then develop recommendations and best practices for addressing barriers for people with limited English proficiency. “Understanding our health care options can sometimes be complicated, and that is especially true for the 300,000 Nevadans who don’t speak English as their first language,” said Congresswoman Susie Lee. “Many of these same people rely on telehealth services to access their health care, as they are either homebound, disabled, or have limited transportation. My bipartisan bill will make it easier for the millions of Americans across this country who struggle with language and transportation barriers to access this health care tool that they need and in a way that they can understand.” ### 1 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z 2026-04-07T21:43:57Z

Instead of bringing a long-term spending package to the floor, the Speaker is bringing a package to the floor that has no chance of being signed into law. “I’ve repeatedly supported legislation to prevent noncitizens from voting. The SAVE Act is not that. Instead, it would gut mail and online voter registration for Americans and put millions of U.S. citizens at risk of having their names erroneously removed from state voter rolls. Under the SAVE Act, birth certificates for U.S. citizens who have changed their names, like married women, military IDs for servicemembers and their families, and tribal IDs would not be considered proof of citizenship to vote. “By attaching the SAVE Act to the government funding bill, Speaker Johnson is pushing our country one step closer to a government shutdown. This is an avoidable shutdown that would endanger our national security, send Nevada’s economy into a tailspin, and threaten Meals on Wheels for seniors, benefits for veterans, pay for servicemembers and TSA workers, and much more. “It’s time for Speaker Johnson to work with both parties on a bipartisan solution to keep the government running because our families, military, and economy depend on it.” ### 1 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z 2026-04-07T21:43:57Z

It also ends the income tax on tips these workers receive. The bill seeks to ensure that all workers, regardless of their profession, receive fair wages and are not forced to rely on tips to make ends meet. VIDEO OF PRESS CONFERENCE HERE PHOTOS FROM THE PRESS CONFERENCE Under the current federal law, tipped workers can be paid as little as $2.13 an hour in several states, allowing employers to rely on customer tips to meet the minimum wage requirements. This system disproportionately impacts women, people of color, and low-wage workers in states such as Texas, Virginia, and Alabama, where the tipped minimum wage remains at $2.13. Nationwide, over 4 million tipped workers rely on this precarious wage system. Congressman Horsford highlighted the urgency of the TIPS Act, saying, "No one working full-time in America should live in poverty, yet millions of tipped workers do just that—many of whom are women and people of color. The TIPS Act is about fairness, dignity, and economic justice. By eliminating the subminimum wage, we can ensure that every worker is paid fairly for their labor without relying on the uncertainty of tips." “For too long, tipped workers—many of them women and people of color—have been forced to survive on poverty wages,” said Saru Jayaraman, President of One Fair Wage and Director of The UC Berkeley Food Labor Research Center. “The subminimum wage is a direct legacy of slavery and continues to keep millions of hardworking people trapped in financial instability. By eliminating this unjust practice and ensuring workers are not taxed on their tips, the TIPS Act gives workers the chance to earn a fair living. It’s time to stop asking customers to subsidize wages and start holding corporations accountable.

The Presumption for Radiation or Toxin Exposure Coverage for Troops (PROTECT) Act would establish a presumption that certain veterans were exposed to radiation and other toxins at the Nevada Test and Training Range (NTTR). In 2000, Congress passed the Energy Employee Occupational Illness Compensation Act (EEOICPA) which entitled nuclear weapons workers as well as some Department of Energy personnel to receive free medical treatment and fair financial compensation for specific illnesses they contracted as a result of nuclear weapons production and testing. However, it did not cover veterans not involved in DOE operations or that were otherwise omitted for national security reasons. This bipartisan legislation would expand similar VA benefits to veterans that were assigned to impacted areas of NTTR, offering them the potentially life-saving medical treatment and financial compensation they need and deserve. "Our men and women in uniform make countless sacrifices to keep our nation safe, so it’s our duty to ensure that we take care of them and protect them from invisible enemies like toxic radiation exposure,” said Congresswoman Susie Lee. “I helped pass the bipartisan PACT Act last Congress to do just that, and I’m proud to continue that work to get these veterans the long overdue care they deserve. This law will help save lives and bring justice to thousands of veterans who proudly served in Nevada.” “A quick look at the facts shows that this group of veterans were in serious need of additional support as a result of their service.

Of this legislation, Amodei stated, “A quick look at the facts shows that this group of veterans were in serious need of additional support as a result of their service. As with every veteran, those serving at NTTR during the determined time frame are entitled to care for illness and injury sustained in the line of service to our nation.

There is nothing more important in my job than having our veterans’ backs.” “We very much appreciate the assistance of Congresswoman Lee in securing funding for veteran services, and we could not provide these services without the help of local, state, and federal partners and our donors,” said Major Harold Laubach, Divisional Secretary, Salvation Army. “The Salvation Army offers many different programs, from emergency shelters and permanent housing to vocational training, mental health services, and case management. Veterans in our community are able to take part in these programs because of the public’s help.” Over the past year, the Salvation Army has provided rapid rehousing and homeless prevention services to nearly 800 veterans and their family members, including disabled and low-income veterans, as well as seniors and children. Programs like these have collectively helped place more than 46,500 homeless veterans across the country into permanent housing last year alone.

The letter calls for DHS to provide immediate updates to Congress on their efforts to address this violent crime, specifically their progress on establishing an organized retail crime coordination center. “The risk of ORC is not only due to the violence displayed during the act of retail theft, especially to retail workers, but also health risks posed by consuming stolen goods like baby formula or pharmaceuticals, which may be improperly stored or tampered with prior to the final purchase by a consumer,” wrote the lawmakers. “ORC also endangers Main Street businesses, the economy, and public safety. A Retail Industry Leader’s Association report indicated that ORC caused nearly $70 billion worth of financial loss due to stolen goods from American retailers in 2019. That number has only continued to increase today.” The letter comes on the heels of Congresswoman Lee introducing the bipartisan Combatting Organized Retail Crime Act. The bill would legally require both the establishment of an ORC Coordination Center and future DHS updates to Congress, as well as designate ORC a federal crime to help federal law enforcement to combat these operations. Congresswoman Lee has also fought for additional language encouraging the establishment of an ORC Coordination Center from her seat on the House Appropriations Committee, as well as multiple meetings with law enforcement and retailers in southern Nevada on the issue. In Nevada, ORC caused an estimated loss of $85 million in tax revenue in 2021 alone. Last year, a Summerlin beauty store was the victim of ORC and the year before that, Metro uncovered a 30-foot-long trailer of stolen goods from dozens of retailers totaling over $1 million.

This critical committee shapes national policies on healthcare, Social Security, Medicare, tax fairness, and trade. Congressman Horsford’s reappointment underscores his leadership in crafting policies that directly benefit Nevada’s 4th Congressional District and working families across the country. “I am deeply honored to continue serving on the House Ways & MeansCommittee, where I will keep fighting for Nevada’s working families on the most pressing economic issues—from securing Social Security and promoting tax fairness to ensuring access to quality healthcare,” said Congressman Horsford. “This committee is central to creating policies that lift up working families and strengthen our economy. For the people of Nevada’s 4th District, this meansadvocating for the expansion of the Child Tax Credit, homeownership incentives, ending subminimum wages and taxes on tips for service workers, and advancing renewable energy tax credits that create jobs and support small businesses.” As a strong advocate for fair tax policies, Congressman Horsford will prioritize working families over corporate interests. He will use his position to protect the retirement security of the 143,642 Social Security beneficiaries in Nevada’s 4th District, most of whom rely on these benefits as their primary income source. Horsford remains committed to defending Medicare, ensuring that more than 140,000 Nevadans in the district who have paid into the system receive the healthcare they’ve earned. His commitment is clear: every family should have the opportunity to thrive.

Nevada — along with California, Arizona, and the federal government — contributes funds to the Lower Colorado River Multi-Species Conservation Program (LCR MSCP), which works to protect species currently listed under the Endangered Species Act (ESA) and reduce the likelihood of additional species listings. But while the program prepares for new projects, state-funded contributions currently sit in accounts that do not earn interest. This effectively costs the LCR MSCP at least $2 million annually that could be used to fund future projects. The Lower Colorado River Multi-Species Conservation Program Amendment Act addresses these lost returns by establishing an interest-bearing account for state contributions to the LCR MSCP, ensuring that Nevada taxpayers get the most for their investment in conservation projects in the Lower Colorado River Basin. “As one of the most biodiverse places in the country, Nevada helps lead state and federal investments to protect endangered species and keep wildlife off the endangered list. But government red tape is getting in the way of maximizing Nevada taxpayer dollars that invest in wildlife conservation in the Lower Colorado River Basin,” said Congresswoman Lee. “I’m championing bipartisan legislation to ensure that these funds earn interest and grow before being used for conservation projects. Smart use of Nevadans’ tax dollars should be the norm.” “As we continue to face unpredictable drought cycles in Southern California and across the Lower Colorado Region, every dollar invested into protecting our precious habitats and resources is critical,” said Rep.

Most of the companies survey in the report have maintained their diversity, equity, and inclusion commitments and show what good looks like in corporate America. "The report also provides best practices that can guide companies in Nevada and across the country to strengthen their diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts going forward. These practices will contribute to a more inclusive economy and help close the racial wealth gap.

Small businesses included the Double Shot Coffee Clinic and Laughlin River Tours. “I’ve worked with Republicans and Democrats to secure critical investments for Laughlin — including to upgrade the town’s water infrastructure — because that’s how we ensure our rural communities prosper,” said Congresswoman Lee. “It was great to welcome SBA Administrator Guzman to Laughlin so we can continue our work to support small businesses, seniors, and working families.” Supporting Laughlin small businesses means addressing Laughlin’s water supply concerns. That’s why Congresswoman Lee successfully fought to put federal investments to address Laughlin’s water storage problem in the Water Resources Development Act — which recently passed the House. Lee’s priorities include delivering $29 million in United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) environmental infrastructure assistance for improvements to the Big Bend Water District Water Treatment and Delivery System in Laughlin and another $20 million for the Las Vegas Wash that carries 200 million gallons of water to Lake Mead every day.

The cybersecurity field has a severe shortage in talent, with nearly 500,000 current job openings in the U.S. and over 4,300 openings in Nevada alone. The Cyber Ready Workforce Act would help address this problem by establishing a new program within the Department of Labor to award competitive grants to businesses, industry and community-based organizations, workforce development boards, educational institutions, joint labor-management partnerships, and nonprofits to develop registered apprenticeship programs in cybersecurity. “Cybersecurity is increasingly important across all sectors, from our small businesses to our national security. But we don’t have enough talent to fill these jobs — Nevada alone is facing a shortage of over 4,300 cybersecurity professionals,” said Congresswoman Lee. “I’m introducing bipartisan, bicameral legislation to address this shortage by boosting cybersecurity apprenticeships to recruit and train a new generation of this critical workforce.

This program supports families affected by parental substance abuse and offers a range of services, including peer recovery coaching, family-centered services, and specialized support for fathers and pregnant women. Since its inception, the program has served over 41,000 children and 25,500 families across 40 states. The inclusion of the legislation in the Protecting America’s Children by Strengthening Families Act underscores the importance of efforts to improve child welfare systems. Its passage through the Ways and Means Committee advances the effort to provide necessary resources to help families overcome challenges posed by substance abuse. 1 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z 2026-04-07T21:24:45Z

The legislation would protect every American’s right to access in-vitro fertilization (IVF) and other assisted reproductive technology (ART) that millions of women rely on to have children. Since 1981, over one million infants have been born with the help of assisted reproductive technology, including IVF. One in six women have difficulty getting pregnant or carrying a pregnancy to term – including Congresswoman Lee, who used IVF to conceive her two children after struggling with infertility. The Access to Family Building Act would establish a legal right to IVF and other assisted reproductive services, overriding any state effort to unnecessarily limit or ban access. Specifically, it would: Establish a statutory right for an individual to access, without prohibition or unreasonable limitation or interference, ART services, such as IVF, and for a healthcare provider to provide ART services. Establish an individual’s statutory right regarding the use or disposition of their reproductive genetic materials. Allow the Department of Justice to pursue civil action against any state, government official, individual or entity that violates protections in the legislation. Create a private right of action for individuals and healthcare providers in states that have limited access to ART. Congresswoman Lee filmed a video on the steps of the U.S. House of Representatives calling out anti-choice extremists who refuse to bring the bill up for a vote. The full transcript is below: Hi everyone, it's Congresswoman Susie Lee on World IVF Day.

All tips are currently subject to federal taxes, which hits states like Nevada – with the highest concentration of tipped workers in the nation – especially hard. “We need to be doing everything we can to keep more dollars in Nevadans’ pockets. No one should lose out on the tips they earned, especially while big corporations make record profits,” said Congresswoman Susie Lee. “This bipartisan legislation will bring immediate relief to many Nevadans and must be part of a broader effort to raise wages while protecting workers from corporate greed.” Congresswoman Lee is working to lower costs and keep more money in southern Nevadans’ pockets. Earlier this year, she helped pass a bipartisan tax package that made significant progress to expand the Child Tax Credit and the Low-Income Housing Tax Credit and has fought to increase the minimum wage since her first days in Congress. She also helped pass the Inflation Reduction Act, which capped the cost of insulin at $35/month and caps annual drug costs at $2,000 for seniors. ### 1 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z 2026-04-07T21:24:45Z

The biennial, bipartisan legislation includes all three of her requests to protect southern Nevada’s water supply, including support for Laughlin’s water system and the Las Vegas Wash program. “No one knows better than a Nevadan just how precious our water resources are. That’s why I made securing water infrastructure investments for Laughlin and the Vegas Wash my top priorities for the bipartisan Water Resources Development Act of 2024,” said Colorado River Caucus Vice-Chair Susie Lee. “I look forward to getting this bipartisan legislation to the President’s desk so we can tackle the ongoing effects of drought and protect our water supply across southern Nevada.” Included in the bipartisan legislation are all three of Congresswoman Lee’s top priorities for Southern Nevada: To authorize $29 million in United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) environmental infrastructure assistance for improvements to the Big Bend Water District Water Treatment and Delivery System in Laughlin, NV. To include language from Congresswoman Lee’s Las Vegas Wash Program Extension Act as part of WRDA 2024, which will raise the funding cap of the Las Vegas Wash program from $40 million to $60 million. To elevate water supply to a primary mission area of the USACE nationwide. Sitting at the southern tip of Nevada, Laughlin is struggling with water infrastructure no longer sufficient to meet its needs, especially in the event of an emergency. The town’s water treatment and delivery system is the only such system managed by the Las Vegas Valley Water District that lacks a secondary water source and lags in water storage capacity. To meet this crisis, Congresswoman Lee requested assistance to update Laughlin’s water system, which includes the construction of a new groundwater well.

The second roundtable included leaders from the Asian American, Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islanders (AANHPI) community to discuss issues related to housing, small businesses, workforce development, and language access. Nevada is just one of five states where Asian Americans make up ten percent of the population. “The investments made by the Biden administration in infrastructure, manufacturing, and renewable energy are already having generational impacts in southern Nevada. Those investments are intended to get to every part of our community, and that only happens with partners at the regional, state, and local level,” said Congresswoman Lee. “When working families and small businesses succeed, our communities prosper, and we all benefit.” Lee was also joined by Congressman Steve Horsford (NV-4).

In the 117th Congress, Horsford first introduced the HOME Act, now H.R. 702 in the 118th Congress, to deal with the housing affordability crisis that was growing due to corporate landlords buying up single family homes and other properties, pricing out first-time home buyers including veterans and single-mothers, while also artificially driving up rental prices. Now, the White House has announced major new actions to lower housing costs. “Housing is a fundamental issue that affects all aspects of our lives, from economic stability to health and education. Today's announcement by President Biden is a significant step forward in addressing the housing crisis in Southern Nevada and across the country, but we must continue to push for more comprehensive solutions to ensure everyone has a fair shot at owning a home and living safely and securely,” saidCongressmanHorsford. “This proposed policy to cap rent increases at 5% targets large landlords with more than 50 units and encourages rent stabilization by making it less attractive for corporate landlords to raise rents because they would lose valuable tax benefits if they did. My HOME Act would give the President the flexibility to define a housing emergency and protect renters from the egregious price increases we have seen in the last few years.” Today’s announcement takes action to make renting more affordable for millions of Americans and takes immediate steps to address housing access and affordability in Nevada. Today, President Biden announced he would be: Calling on Congress to pass legislation giving corporate landlords a choice to either cap rent increases on existing units at 5% or risk losing current valuable federal tax breaks; Repurposing public land sustainably to enable as many as 15,000 additional affordable housing units to be built in Nevada; and R… 1 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z 2026-04-06T18:32:29Z

Specifically, the Department of Urban Development and Housing (HUD) investment will restore 235 existing affordable housing units for extremely low-income renters and build 400 new units of housing. It will also invest in an early learning center and provide support for small businesses. The funds will leverage an additional $212 million in public and private resources in this community, that will activate indoor and outdoor community spaces, and provide supportive services to residents. In addition to new investments, the announcement also includes plans for the Department of the Interior (DOI) to repurpose public land sustainably to enable as many as 15,000 additional affordable housing units to be built in Nevada. This comes shortly after Congresswoman Lee’s bipartisan legislation to speed up housing projects on federal lands passed out of the U.S House of Representatives. “Affordable housing isn’t just a priority in southern Nevada, it’s a necessity,” said Congresswoman Susie Lee. “These wide-ranging investments to lower housing costs by going after Big Corporate Landlords and freeing up land for more affordable homes is critical to addressing our housing crisis. I’ll continue fighting in Congress for commonsense solutions and federal dollars to keep a roof over every southern Nevadan’s head.” Congresswoman Lee also cosponsors legislation to crack down on corporate landlords who buy up local homes and raise costs for working families, seniors, and veterans, while also securing millions in federal dollars to continue investing in lower housing costs. 1 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z 2026-04-06T18:32:29Z

This is not rent control, it’s a tax disincentive. Throughout history, the government has provided tax write-offs to incentivize corporate investors to develop certain industries. Why should it not eliminate those write-offs when those corporations make record profits while hardworking Americans struggle to put a roof over their head? Federal resources should go toward building new housing, mortgage relief, freeing up federal lands for affordable housing, and helping lower rents — not to corporate shareholders. “This work builds on my bipartisan bill to expand housing projects on public lands, and Rep. Horsford’s legislation that I co-sponsored that will further crack down on corporate price gouging in the housing industry. “This announcement is a good start and there is still more work to be done to address the many complex causes of our housing crisis.” 1 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z 2026-04-06T18:32:29Z

The policymakers and advocates discussed more than $156 million in solar investments for the Nevada Clean Energy Fund as part of the Solar for All grant program, which was made possible by the Inflation Reduction Act that Congresswoman Lee helped pass. As extreme heat continues to soar, the investments are not only supporting cooling centers to help keep folks safe and healthy, but also capture an abundance of renewable energy from southern Nevada’s 300+ sunny days per year while lowering energy costs for southern Nevada communities. “As we all know, communities across the country are dealing with extreme heat – we just happen to be a little more extreme,” said Congresswoman Lee. “This solar-powered cooling center is just one example of how we're helping families beat the heat. And because of the federal Solar Power for All program, we’ll soon be seeing more of these projects as southern Nevada leads the nation in efforts to build a clean energy economy.” The press conference also comes on the heels of an announcement by Congresswoman Lee and Unimacts Solar Manufacturing of over 200 new jobs in southern Nevada earlier this year, which was also a direct product of investments made by the Inflation Reduction Act.

This request aims to address the affordable housing crisis in Nevada and provide greater flexibility in voucher administration to better serve low-income households. “Affordable housing is a critical issue affecting families in Nevada,” said Congressman Horsford. “By increasing the allocation of Housing Choice Vouchers and allowing more flexibility in their use, we can ensure that more Nevadans have a safe and affordable place to call home. This is about giving our community the tools it needs to thrive.” “Hardworking Nevada families are feeling the squeeze of sky-rocketing housing prices, which is why I’m doing everything I can to lower costs and make housing more affordable in our state,” said Senator Rosen. “Congressman Horsford and I are pushing the Administration to expand the Housing Choice Voucher program so that more Nevadans can have access to affordable, reliable housing. I’ll continue fighting to lower prices for hardworking families.” The letter emphasizes the urgency of addressing the affordable housing shortage in Nevada, which is among the most severe in the nation. With the SNRHA dealing with a waitlist exceeding 42,000, it would take more than three years just to clear the backlog at the current rate of voucher assistance without adding any additional individuals. The letter proposes increasing the Housing Choice Voucher allocation by 10,000 vouchers over the next five years, raising the project-based voucher program cap and granting waivers to enhance flexibility in voucher selection and portability. These steps aim to improve the efficacy of the Housing Choice Voucher Program and provide relief to Nevada’s low-income households. 1 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z 2026-04-07T21:24:45Z

I believe it’s important that we find a common sense, bipartisan solution to verify citizenship when registering and ensure only eligible U.S. citizens are able to vote. “Today’s extreme legislation did not do that — it would gut mail and online voter registration in states like Nevada and make it nearly impossible for millions of citizens to register to vote. “Under this dangerous legislation, birth certificates for individuals who have changed their names, like married women, would not be considered proof of citizenship, and Americans would be prohibited from using military IDs or tribal IDs when registering to vote. This would put millions of U.S. citizens at risk of having their names removed from state voter rolls. “I voted against this legislation because it would threaten Americans’ constitutional right to vote.” 1 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z 2026-04-07T21:24:45Z

Funding for this award comes from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law that Congresswoman Lee helped negotiate and pass. Despite being in a desert, southern Nevada is not immune to the severe impacts of stormwater — over the Labor Day weekend last year, most of Clark County was overwhelmed by thunderstorms and floods that delayed flights, damaged homes and cars, and turned streets into waterways. As the climate crisis intensifies, these severe weather events are on the rise across the Southwest, leading to more stormwater runoff and water supply pollution. “Southern Nevada is on the front lines of the climate crisis, but that doesn’t mean we have to accept severe stormwater impacts as another new reality,” said Congresswoman Lee. “We need the infrastructure and technology to not only tackle drought in the West, but also emerging extreme weather events and pollution. That’s why I helped pass historic, bipartisan water investments, and I’m proud to see those investments returned to southern Nevada to continue developing our leadership in sustainable technologies.” One of four new centers across the country, Nevada’s Center of Excellence will play an important role in conducting new research and providing technical assistance to state, local, and tribal entities to safeguard the environment while improving stormwater management and climate resilience. As Vice-Chair of the bipartisan Colorado River Caucus, Congresswoman Susie Lee has been dedicated to finding solutions to the worst drought in the American West in 12 centuries.

This legislation — co-led by Republican David Joyce (OH-14) and supported by stakeholders ranging from the Nevada Conservation League to the U.S. Chamber of Commerce — will ensure that Department of the Interior (DOI) public land transactions are completed effectively and efficiently by increasing access to qualified and cost-competitive appraisers. With its passage in the House, the bill is one step closer to being signed into law and now heads to the Senate, where Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto (D-NV) sponsors a companion bill. The legislation has also been endorsed by Nevada Governor Joe Lombardo. DOI oversees hundreds of millions of acres of public lands nationwide, but before it can complete any land transactions, it must first guarantee that these transactions are done at fair market value. With growing demands, the agency has had to rely increasingly on private appraisers who can only work in the specific states where they are credentialed — unlike full-time federal appraisers, who have been able to work quickly and easily across state lines for decades. This creates bottlenecks that undermine conservation, economic, housing, and infrastructure projects on public lands. The AACE Act will tackle federal appraisal bottlenecks by making more appraisers available to DOI. The bill will cut government red tape and maximize DOI's efficiency without spending a single additional dollar of taxpayers' money. It will also require DOI to continue to prioritize working with local appraisers, unlocking the enhanced flexibility provided by the bill only when no qualified and cost-competitive local appraisers are available to perform needed services. “We can’t let red tape get in the way of key land transactions that will support conservation, build critical infrastructure, and help cut housing costs,” said Congres… 1 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z 2026-04-07T21:24:45Z

Laughlin Senior Apartments will create 36 units for low-income individuals aged 55 and over. Each apartment will have a private entry, dishwasher, in-unit laundry, and outdoor patios. The larger building will have a community room with kitchen, grilling area, business center, fitness center, library, outdoor area, and parking. The Laughlin Senior Apartments project is part of FHLBank’s larger $9.4 million investment in nine housing projects across the state from the Nevada-specific fund Lee fought for and helped secure. Last year, Lee partnered with the FHLBank San Francisco for a community forum about housing needs and the necessary steps to bring more affordable housing solutions to southern Nevada. “I hear from families and seniors across southern Nevada that rents and home costs are too high,” said Congresswoman Lee. “To tackle this crisis, I’ve worked with FHLBank of San Francisco to secure new investments for more affordable housing in Laughlin and across the state. I’m also working with Republicans and Democrats on legislation to cut governmental red tape that drives up housing costs and to crack down on price gouging by corporate investors.” “The lack of affordable housing supply is one of the most challenging issues our country faces today, and this shortage is particularly acute in Nevada,” said Alanna McCargo, president and CEO FHLBank San Francisco. “Nevada faces a unique set of challenges as one of the least populated states with a diverse array of communities from urban, rural and tribal communities that are all in dire need of affordable housing. We are pleased to be able to nearly double the amount of targeted grant funding this year and deploy resources to nine projects across the state that will have a meaningful impact on mitigating the affordable housing crisis… 1 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z 2026-04-07T21:24:45Z

Lee also wrote today to the secretaries of the Department of Veterans Affairs and the State Department, calling on the Administration to expedite the delivery of medical benefits to Korean veterans who served side-by-side with U.S. troops during the Vietnam War and have since become naturalized U.S. citizens. The letter can be found here. Lee helped get the VALOR Act signed into law to give these veterans access to VA benefits. Veterans of Allied Forces from World Wars I and II have been able to enroll in VA health care, but before the VALOR Act, Korean veterans who also became U.S. citizens were denied these same benefits. More than 300,000 Korean soldiers fought alongside Americans throughout the Vietnam War and have since become naturalized U.S. citizens. Since these veterans are now U.S. citizens, they receive very limited help from the South Korean government. “There is nothing more important in this job than my responsibility to have the backs of our veterans. These are not Democratic or Republican issues — they are principles of the country we live in,” said Congresswoman Lee. “The Korean American Vietnam veterans we’re honoring today exemplify our nation’s best, and we owe them a great deal of gratitude. It is our duty to ensure that we take care of our veterans when they return home.” Lee was joined by President of the Korean American Association Las Vegas Alex Kim, Honorary Consul representing Korea in the State of Nevada Joseph Campos, Robert Davidson with Vietnam Veterans of America, and local Korean American veterans and their families.

Amodei A000369 amodei.house.gov amodei https://amodei.house.gov/news-releases scraper WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, the House of Representatives considered the Fiscal Year 2025 Homeland Security Appropriations Act. The measure, authored by Homeland Security Subcommittee Chairman Mark Amodei (NV-02), was approved by a bipartisan vote of 212 to 203. “The FY25 Homeland Security Appropriations Bill prioritizes investments to secure the border and makes appropriate cuts to policies and programs we know don’t work,” said Congressman Amodei. “Treating the border crisis as an issue that can be managed by providing grants to NGOs, funding processing tents, and giving transportation money to non-profits does not work. Don’t believe me? The numbers speak for themselves – we are on track for our third straight year of record border encounters. That’s why this bill invests in tried-and-true methods of securing the border that the men and women in the field are asking for – more agents, detention beds, detection technology, and physical barriers. “This legislation is a commitment to protecting Americans and the homeland. Through border security, immigration enforcement, cybersecurity, and disaster resilience, we are investing in resources to secure the nation and support our people on the frontline.” The FY25 Homeland Security Appropriations Act: Secures our southern border by: Including a record $300 million for border security technology. Providing $600 million for construction of the southern border wall. Sustaining funding for 22,000 Border Patrol agents. Investing $305 million in fentanyl detection equipment at our nation’s ports of entry. Executes immigration enforcement by: Securing more than $3 billion to fund a detention bed level of 50,000, which is 16,000 above President Biden’s request.

This bill aims to improve substance abuse services within the child welfare system, supporting children and families in need. “Substance abuse impacts families across our country, and we need to provide strong support systems to help those in need,” said Congressman Horsford. “The Regional Partnership Grants Reauthorization Act ensures that children and families receive the services they need to overcome these challenges. We need action now to support and protect our most vulnerable families.” “Research is clear that Regional Partnership Grants successfully strengthen families affected by both substance use and child welfare to increase child stability, safety, and reunification” said Rep. Danny K. Davis. “Substance use is one of the primary reasons that children enter foster care. I am proud to partner with Rep. Horsford in leading the Regional Partnership Grants Reauthorization Act to modernize these grants that help children and families affected by substance use to thrive.” The Regional Partnership Grants Reauthorization Act of 2024 will: Reauthorize the Regional Partnership Grant Program through Fiscal Year 2028; Build the child welfare evidence base and strengthen implementation of the Family First Prevention Services Act (FFPSA); and Incorporate important lessons learned from prior rounds of the program. 1 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z 2026-04-07T21:11:47Z

Investments were secured through the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law which Congresswoman Lee helped negotiate and pass. Last year, more than 50,000 Nevada homes and small businesses lacked access to high-speed internet. Access is particularly challenging for rural Nevadans — in recent years, as much as one third of rural residents did not have access to standard-level broadband service. And for rural Nevadans who are able to get online, half do not have adequate service for their needs. “Access to the internet means access to jobs, health care, and education opportunities,” said Congresswoman Lee. “I helped negotiate and pass the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law to expand internet access in rural and underserved communities, and today’s award does just that. I look forward to continuing to work with local, state, and federal partners to bridge the digital divide here in Nevada and across the country.” Awarded through NTIA’s Capacity Grant Program, this $$9,200,545.75 award will support the implementation of OSIT’s Statewide Digital Equity Plan. The investment will help improve access to devices and technical support, provide more opportunities for Nevadans to attain digital skills, and create a data-driven understanding of how to close the digital divide. As the most bipartisan Member of Congress, Congresswoman Lee is working with Republicans and Democrats to deliver federal broadband investments to Nevada. Last summer, Congresswoman Lee introduced bipartisan, bicameral legislation to ensure that states like Nevada receive their fair share of federal broadband funding, which includes $416 million from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law. ### 1 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z 2026-04-07T21:11:47Z

The legislation would prevent the problem of gun violence before it starts in communities by investing in community violence intervention programs, which have been proven in research to reduce crime, save lives and break the cycle of violence. “58 percent of Americans or someone they care for have experienced gun violence in their lifetime, and sadly, I am among that segment of our population. In 1992, my father was shot and killed during a robbery at this job. I never got to say goodbye to him. Still, I have honored his legacy and that of so many other victims of gun violence in Southern Nevada and across the country by pushing for making the Break the Cycle of Violence Act the law of the land,” said Congressman Horsford. “My legislation would fund evidence-informed community violence intervention programs in our communities that keep guns out of the hands of folks and prevents crime before it can start, which will reduce crime, saves lives and break the cycle of violence that impacts so many people in Nevada and across the country.” The Break the Cycle of Violence Act was voted on and passed in the U.S. House of Representatives in 2022. Language from the bill was included in the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act, which became law in 2022 and was the first comprehensive, meaningful gun reform legislation to pass Congress in more than 28 years. ### 1 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z 2026-04-07T21:11:47Z

Unfortunately for USPS bureaucrats, the adage ‘bad news travels fast’ is proving true. The Journal painted an ugly picture of packages piled up on conveyor belts, trucks waiting hours for loading dock space, and bills, checks, and medications not being delivered for weeks on end. “Last night, the House Appropriations Financial Services and General Government (FSGG) Subcommittee passed an amendment to the FY25 FSGG Appropriations Bill to provide Members of Congress access to USPS facilities without having to jump through hoop after bureaucratic hoop and beg and plead just to provide oversight. You can watch a video of me voicing my support for this amendment linked here. “This morning, the U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO) provided me with an update on their audit of the plan to relocate the Reno P&DC to West Sacramento, California. Although the audit is not yet complete, I am encouraged by the work they’ve done to identify USPS’s justification for ordering the closure of the Reno P&DC. Furthermore, I’ve had extensive conversations with the House Committee on Oversight about the best ways Congress can oversee the Postal Service. There is more work to be done, but I believe we are on our way to holding USPS leadership accountable for a decision that should be reversed.” ### 1 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z 2026-04-07T21:11:47Z

"This isn’t just a moral obligation – it’s a national security imperative. Our all-volunteer military force is the foundation of our military strength, and we must do all we can do to protect and preserve it. “Not only will this NDAA strengthen the readiness of our military, but it also ensures our servicemembers are equipped with the resources they need by investing in next-generation weaponry and technology, modernizing the nuclear triad, enhancing U.S. military capabilities in the Indo-Pacific region, and cutting wasteful and inefficient Pentagon programs. “We are living in an increasingly dangerous world, and the 2025 NDAA enhances strategic deterrence, promotes next-generation capabilities, and prioritizes American military superiority.” ### 1 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z 2026-04-07T21:11:47Z
