Today Rep. Dina Titus of Nevadas First Congressional District released the following statement on the one-year anniversary of the Gold Butte National Monument designation by President Obama. One year ago we celebrated the hard work of many local advocates and the rich heritage of Southern Nevada when President Obama designated Gold Butte National Monument. With the advent of the Trump Administration, we are back on the front lines fighting to protect the cultural and natural resources that are now enveloped by the monuments borders. Zinkes straw-man arguments about water are addressed within the monument proclamation. In addition, the Antiquities Act is clear: Presidents can create monuments but cannot take them away. Moving forward, I will continue to advocate for Gold Butte and support all efforts to ensure that the Trump Administration doesnt hack away at Nevadas piece of the Grand Canyon. An attack on one monument is an attack on all monuments. | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | ||

Esta medida de financiamiento a corto plazo forzada de ltimo momento por el liderazgo republicano no aborda la urgente situacin que enfrentan miles de DREAMers en Nevada. Es el final del ao y no hay una razn vlida para prolongar an ms esta incertidumbre. He apoyado abiertamente muchos de los programas incluidos en la resolucin continua, como los gastos de defensa y la re-autorizacin de CHIP por cinco aos ms, pero este proceso se ha convertido en una vergonzosa farsa e ya es hora de terminar con eso. Tenemos que abordar los problemas que enfrentamos y no dejar todo para despus de manera irresponsable. Nos estamos quedando sin oportunidades de reparar la decisin cruel y despiadada del presidente Trump de ponerle fin al programa de DACA. Durante meses el lder Ryan se ha negado a permitir una votacin en la Cmara de Representantes para el DREAM Act, a pesar de que cuenta con amplio apoyo republicano y sera aprobado con gran apoyo bipartidista. Los jvenes beneficiarios de DACA contribuyen a nuestra economa, estudian en nuestras universidades, sirven valientemente en el ejrcito de nuestra nacin y reflejan lo mejor de los valores estadounidenses. Debemos darles un alivio inmediato a los ciento de miles de DREAMers en riesgo de ser deportados del nico hogar que conocen. Se estima que 122 DREAMers estn perdiendo su estatus de proteccin cada dia que no actuamos, ms de 12,000 ya lo han perdido hasta ahora. No puedo soportar ver a ms familias viviendo con miedo o destrozadas porque los polticos en Washington se han negado a cruzar las lneas partidistas para lograrlo. ANTECEDENTES: Adems de copatrocinar el DREAM Act, la congresista Rosen firm una peticin de aprobacin para forzar un voto en la Cmara de Representantes sobre esta legislacin bipartidista.

Its the end of the year, and there is no valid reason to further prolong this uncertainty. This process has devolved into a disgraceful charade and enough is enough. We need to address the problems in front of us and stop irresponsibly kicking the can down the road. I have been a vocal supporter of many of the programs that are in the continuing resolution, including CHIP, but this funding bill fails to fully reauthorize the program and does nothing to reassure families who may very well still receive notice that their child has been dropped from coverage. Congressional Republicans have already done permanent damage to CHIP and must come to the table with a clean reauthorization instead of leaving parents in a panic and the program hanging by a string. We are also running out of opportunities to fix President Trumps cruel and heartless decision to end the DACA program. For months, Speaker Ryan has refused to bring a clean DREAM Act to the floor for a vote, even though it has Republican buy-in and would pass with broad bipartisan support. DACA recipients contribute to our economy, study at our universities, bravely serve in our nations military, and reflect the very best of our American values. We must bring immediate relief to the hundreds of thousands of DREAMers who risk being deported from the only home theyve ever known. An estimated 122 DREAMers are losing their protected status every day that we fail to act - more than 12,000 already have so far. I cannot bear to see more families living in fear or torn apart because politicians in Washington refused to work across the aisle to get this done.

| https://titus.house.gov/press-releases/titus-statement-on-cr-that-fails-to-address-daca | TITUS STATEMENT ON CR THAT FAILS TO ADDRESS DACA | 2017-12-21 | 2017 | 2017-12 | Democrat | House | NV | Dina Titus | T000468 | titus.house.gov | legacy | Washington, D.C. Today Rep. Dina Titus of Nevadas First Congressional District released the following statement after voting against the Continuing Resolution that shortchanges CHIP, ignores DACA, and snubs the VAs need for 45,000 doctors, nurses, and health care providers. Republicans found time to pass the biggest tax scam in the nations history, allow concealed-carry reciprocity, and rob seniors of Medicare benefits. But they have ignored DACA, CHIP, and legislation to responsibly fund the government. Republicans spent yesterday celebrating the Trump Family Tax Break as our government careened toward a shutdown, DREAMers faced deportation, the VA remained underfunded, and the future of childrens health care hung in the balance. My position is clear: No long-term solutions on DACA, CHIP, and the VA No vote from me. | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | ||
| https://rosen.house.gov/media/press-releases/rep-rosen-helps-return-more-720000-federal-money-nevada-constituents-year | REP. ROSEN HELPS RETURN MORE THAN $720,000 IN FEDERAL MONEY TO NEVADA CONSTITUENTS THIS YEAR | 2017-12-20 | 2017 | 2017-12 | Democrat | House | NV | Jacky Rosen | R000608 | rosen.house.gov | legacy | WASHINGTON, D.C. Today, Congresswoman Jacky Rosen (NV-03) announced that her office has returned more than $720,000 from federal agencies to her constituents in Nevadas Third Congressional District. Nothing is more important to me than helping my constituents access the services they need and navigate the challenges of dealing with the federal government, said Rosen. From helping our veterans receive the benefits theyve earned, to ensuring our seniors get timely responses from the Social Security Administration, my Las Vegas district office has already resolved a number of issues for constituents. While many of the cases handled by my district office in Las Vegas have involved the VA, my staff also regularly works with other federal agencies to assist with citizenship and immigration concerns, problems with Medicare and Medicaid, and housing issues. I am proud of the work my staff has done this year for people who count on us to be their advocate, and I look forward to seeing my offices continued results on behalf of Southern Nevada. BACKGROUND: Over the last year, Congresswoman Rosens district office has helped constituents with a range of issues, including assisting veterans with obtaining their VA benefits that were stalled for months in a backlog of claims. Rosens district office successfully returned $724,387 for constituents -- with $718,987 of that total awarded to veterans. If you or a family member is having difficulty with any federal agency and you are not receiving the answers you need, Congresswoman Rosen encourages you to contact her Las Vegas district office at 702-963-9500, or visit rosen.house.gov. ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | ||

This disaster of a bill includes a reckless provision repealing the Affordable Care Acts coverage requirement, which will spike premiums and cause thousands of Nevadans in my district to no longer have health insurance. This tax plan will also explode our deficit by more than $1 trillion, mortgaging our childrens future and triggering deep cuts to services to Medicare. As Republicans ram this bill through Congress, its becoming crystal clear that this plan is designed to provide tax relief to wealthy donors and corporate special interests while everyday people get crumbs or eventually face a tax hike. My constituents deserved real bipartisan tax reform and a simpler, fairer tax code aimed at supporting the middle class, and this Republican-controlled Congress failed to deliver. BACKGROUND: Congresswoman Rosen voted against the House version of the Republican tax bill and penned an op-ed in the Las Vegas Sun detailing her opposition to the GOPs plan. ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | ||

Today Rep. Dina Titus of Nevadas First Congressional District released the following statement after House Republicans passed H.R. 1, the GOPs Job Cuts and Tax Scam legislation. With this Job Cuts and Tax Scam bill, the GOP, to paraphrase Clint Eastwood, is pissing on our boots and calling it rain. Republicans have crafted a bill that will cost $2.2 trillion, increase the deficit by at least $1 trillion, and target the social safety net that serves at-risk communities like District 1. Thirteen million Americans will lose health care coverage, $25 billion in Medicare cuts begin next month, Medicaid slashes are in the crosshairs, and student loan fees will double. State and local programs will likely be on the chopping block because of the reduction in revenues. Eighty-six million Americans will ultimately see a tax increase while 83 percent of the benefits go to the top one percent of earners. The new corporate rates are set in stone while the so-called benefits for working families -- new income tax rates, standard deduction hike, doubling the child tax credit, and others all sunset in a few short years. So where is the long-term relief for the hospitality workers, firefighters, cab drivers, teachers, and thousands of others in Las Vegas who will soon be paying more in taxes? It is going to President Trump, who said he would not benefit, his rich cronies, GOP donors, and other Republicans in Congress. With the Estate Tax break doubling, money will disappear from the general fund so Ivanka, Don. Jr., and Eric can get more. The Corker Kickback will enrich the eponymous Senators commercial real estate holdings along with the Presidents and at least a dozen other members of Congress. Sen. Johnson, along with President Trump, will also see a bigger tax break for their non-real-estate pass-through entities. Many are asking about all the money that will supposedly fly back into the nation because of the changes in the corporate tax code.

Unfortunately, instead of working with Democrats to fix the failure to renew these critical health care programs, Congressional Republicans have decided to prioritize passing their reckless tax bill that's designed to benefit billionaires and corporations. I believe we must act to bring immediate relief to the tens of thousands of Nevada families who are increasingly worried about their children losing health coverage, and that's why I'm proud to co-sponsor the CHAMPION KIDS Act." BACKGROUND: H.R. 4541, the CHAMPION KIDS Act, would extend funding for critical public health programs and initiatives, including CHIP, the Community Health Centers program, and the Special Diabetes Program. Last month, Congresswoman Rosen led a bipartisan letter with House members from Nevadas Congressional delegation urging CMS Administrator Seema Verma to immediately fund Nevadas Check Up Program -- the states Childrens Health Insurance Program (CHIP) -- so that it continues through February 2018. The CHIP program expired on September 30, 2017. CHIP provides insurance to 9 million children nationwide. This year, CHIP provided coverage for nearly 69,000 children in Nevada whose low-income families dont qualify for Medicaid. ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | ||

ROSEN INTRODUCES BIPARTISAN BILL TO CLOSE LOOPHOLE IN MILITARY JUSTICE SYSTEM THAT ALLOWS CONVICTED DOMESTIC ABUSERS TO BUY GUNS | 2017-12-14 | 2017 | 2017-12 | Democrat | House | NV | Jacky Rosen | R000608 | rosen.house.gov | legacy | WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Today, Congresswoman Jacky Rosen (NV-03) introduced the bipartisan Military Domestic Violence Reporting Enhancement Act alongside Rep. Lynn Jenkins (R-KS). H.R. 4639 would prevent convicted domestic abusers from purchasing firearms by making domestic violence a criminal offense, closing a dangerous loophole in the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ): “Congress has a responsibility to keep guns out of the hands of people who shouldn’t have them and take meaningful action to prevent the senseless gun violence that has claimed so many innocent lives,” said Congresswoman Rosen. “This bill will help close the dangerous loophole in the Uniform Code of Military Justice that allowed a gunman in Sutherland Springs to slip through criminal background databases, purchase assault rifles, and kill 26 innocent people at a church. I am proud to work across the aisle on this commonsense legislation and will continue to push for solutions that prevent dangerous weapons from getting into the wrong hands.” “I’ve long been a strong supporter of the 2nd amendment and believe in the fundamental right to legally own a firearm,” said Congresswoman Jenkins. “However, the way domestic violence is classified in the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ) amounts to a loophole that can lead people, who should have been convicted of domestic violence, to unlawfully being allowed to purchase firearms. Closing this loophole will help in preventing senseless tragedies like the one in Sutherland Springs, TX. This is why I am working in a bi-partisan fashion with Congresswoman Rosen (D-NV) in hopes of preventing another tragic loss of life from occurring.” “It is long past time for Congress to take meaningful action to address gun violence as a public health crisis,” said Nevada Coalition to End Domestic and Sexual Violence Executive Director, Susan Meuschke. “Nevada is among the deadliest states for women in terms of gun-related homicides. This policy will help address a dangerous loophole and could save lives in Nevada… | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | ||

ROSEN REMINDS CONSTITUENTS TO SIGN UP FOR HEALTH CARE BEFORE TOMORROW'S DEADLINE | 2017-12-14 | 2017 | 2017-12 | Democrat | House | NV | Jacky Rosen | R000608 | rosen.house.gov | legacy | WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, Congresswoman Jacky Rosen (NV-03) released the following statement reminding Nevadans to get covered through the Nevada Health Link. Tomorrow, December 15th, marks the end of open enrollment season, which helps Nevadans choose and enroll in health coverage plans best fitting their budgetary and health circumstances: “Tomorrow is the last day for Nevadans to sign up for health care,” said Rosen. “For anyone looking to enroll, I encourage you to sign up for a plan by visiting Nevada Health Link online before the deadline. I will continue to call on Congress to take action to stabilize our health insurance markets, which are under relentless attack by this administration and Republicans in Congress. We need smart, viable solutions that will lower health care costs, improve quality of care, and expand coverage for Nevada’s hardworking families.” BACKGROUND: Nevada residents interested in learning more about health coverage options can do so by visiting www.nevadahealthlink.com. Congresswoman Rosen is a co-sponsor of H.R. 3258, the Marketplace Certainty Act, a bill that would immediately address market instability by controlling costs and keeping insurers from exiting the Silver State Exchange. The bill funds cost-sharing reductions provided by the Affordable Care Act, which would help drive down premiums costs to make insurance plans more affordable for consumers. ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | ||

We must fight to reverse this misguided decision and return access to a free and open internet for Nevadans.” BACKGROUND: Congresswoman Rosen penned an op-ed in The Nevada Independent, detailing her opposition to the FCC’s misguided decision to repeal net neutrality. ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | ||

I am also proud to see that my bipartisan bills to secure our electric grid and bolster Israel’s anti-missile defense systems were signed into law. I will continue to work with my colleagues on the House Armed Services Committee on policies that support our servicemembers and ensure military readiness.” BACKGROUND: The NDAA, which passed the House by a vote of 356-70, included legislation introduced and co-sponsored by Congresswoman Rosen: Rep. Rosen’s sponsored requests included in FY18 NDAA The Securing the Electric Grid to Protect Military Readiness Act: A bipartisan bill introduced by Congresswoman Rosen requiring the Secretary of Defense, in coordination with the Secretaries of Homeland Security and Energy and the Director of National Intelligence, to report to Congress on significant risks to the national electric grid, the effect those risks pose to military readiness, and measures to mitigate those risks.

Dina Titus of Nevada’s First Congressional District spoke on the House floor to urge her colleagues to vote on a provision she offered that prevents predatory lenders from skirting consumer protections. Rep. Titus’ Motion to Recommit would prohibit any creditor or servicer that has engaged in unfair, deceptive, or abusive acts or has been convicted of fraud in connection with a residential mortgage loan from being eligible for exemptions outlined in the GOP-backed H.R. 3971, which hacks away at laws that were designed to prevent another housing crisis. WATCH REP. TITUS SPEAK ON THE FLOOR: H.R. 3971 Would Reduce Consumer Protections under the Truth in Lending Act: Dodd-Frank tasked the Consumer Bureau with implementing mortgage rules under the Truth in Lending Act (“TILA”), including mortgage escrow requirements. The Consumer Bureau’s mortgage escrow rules are designed to ensure that homeowners understand and can meet the full costs of homeownership. For almost all “higher-priced mortgage loans” (loans with an Annual Percentage Rate of 1.5 percent or more over the current Average Prime Offer Rate), creditors or servicers are required to establish and maintain an escrow account on the borrower’s behalf, covering the borrower’s property taxes, private mortgage insurance, and homeowners insurance. These amounts are part of what the borrower pays to the creditor or servicer each month in installments. Escrow accounts are an important consumer protection mechanism, especially for higher-risk borrowers, because they ensure that homeowners have sufficient funds for these expenses, thereby reducing mortgage defaults or loss of the property. Escrow accounts also keep homeowners from being blindsided by additional costs at the end of each year and provides a more accurate monthly cost estimate for homeownership when the loan is originated. Under the Consumer Bureau’s rule, creditors with less than $2 billion in assets that serve rural or underserved areas are exempted from… | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | ||

A new analysis from the Center for American Progress found that the tax bill’s provision dismantling the Affordable Care Act’s health insurance coverage requirement could lead to 31,000 constituents in Nevada’s 3rd Congressional District becoming uninsured. The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office also estimates that the GOP tax plan could increase health care premiums by an average of 10 percent annually in the individual market and lead to 13 million Americans becoming uninsured nationwide. “The Republicans’ tax plan is really just another attempt to undermine and repeal key components of the Affordable Care Act, which will lead to higher health care premiums and leave tens of thousands of Nevadans in my district without health insurance,” said Rosen. “The Senate tax bill also could trigger devastating cuts to Medicare and reduce Medicaid enrollment. Instead of working to deliver a fairer tax code for working families, Republicans are using this bill to try to follow through on a partisan, ideological agenda that will further destabilize our health care system and increase costs for regular people. It’s wrong for Republican leadership to use this attack on the ACA’s coverage requirement to pay for tax cuts for wealthy donors and large corporations.” BACKGROUND: This new analysis by the Center for American Progress finds that, under the Senate bill, many healthy Americans who use the marketplaces likely will stop purchasing insurance, which could drive up premiums, forcing some people to drop their coverage altogether. At the same time, unraveling the individual mandate could also result in a number of people currently enrolled in employer-sponsored plans and Medicaid to go uninsured. ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | ||

"Sinceramente espero que más de mis colegas republicanos se dieran cuenta de lo que está en juego para miles de jóvenes inmigrantes que están trabajando aquí, recibiendo educación o prestando servicio en nuestras fuerzas armadas y que ahora viven con el miedo constante de ser deportados. Sus vidas no deberían pender de un hilo debido al estancamiento partidista y debemos unirnos para hacer lo correcto. También necesitamos encontrar soluciones bipartidistas para muchos otros problemas importantes que deben solucionarse antes del fin de año, incluyendo la reautorización del Programa de Seguro de Salud para Niños y la estabilización del mercado de seguros médicos. Muchas cosas están en juego para las familias trabajadoras en mi distrito y ya no podemos permitir la falta de acción”.

Republicans and Democrats agree that ending this unpopular provision is necessary to protect our seniors, and I believe that now is the time for Congress to strengthen Medicare and ensure Nevadans have access to quality, affordable health care.” BACKGROUND: Congresswoman Rosen is a co-sponsor of H.R. 849, the Protecting Seniors’ Access to Medicare Act of 2017, which would eliminate the Independent Payment Advisory Board (IPAB). The bill passed the House by a vote of 307-111, with Rep. Rosen voting for the legislation. IPAB was created as part of the Affordable Care Act as a means of limiting Medicare costs. Unfortunately, the board’s structure and mandate give it few options other than cutting Medicare reimbursement rates, which would likely lead to rationed care for seniors.

Schumer Democratic Leader United States Senate 322 Hart Senate Office Building Washington, DC 20510 Dear Leader Schumer, We are writing today to urge you to include repeal of the Independent Payment Advisory Board (IPAB) in must-pass legislation by the end of the year. Originally created under the Affordable Care Act, there have always been concerns with IPAB. This was made clear last month when the repeal of IPAB passed the House 231-111, with 76 Democrats voting in favor of repeal.

And to make matters worse, the Senate version of this bill would spike health care premiums and cause millions to lose their health care coverage -- all so billionaires and giant corporations can receive an unnecessary tax cut. “Mr. Speaker, Americans can see clearly that this bill is just a giveaway to wealthy campaign donors and giant corporations at the expense of regular hardworking families. “We need a tax code that’s focused on putting money back in the pockets of all families, not one that creates even worse wealth and income inequality -- and certainly not one that puts profits before people.” BACKGROUND: Congresswoman Rosen voted against the House version of the Republican tax bill and penned an Op-ed in the Las Vegas Sun detailing her opposition to the House version of the GOP bill. Earlier this week, Rosen voted against a motion to go to conference on the Republican tax bill. ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | ||

La noticia se dio a conocer después de que Rosen liderara la semana pasada un esfuerzo bipartidista, instando a la administradora de los Centros de Servicios de Medicare y Medicare, Seema Verma a que financiara el programa de manera inmediata. "Es inconcebible que un solo niño pierda la cobertura de salud debido a la inacción del Congreso", dijo Rosen. "Agradezco a la administradora de los Centros de Servicios de Medicare y Medicare, Seema Verma por escuchar nuestro llamado para financiar inmediatamente el programa ‘Nevada Check Up’, y continuare presionando al liderazgo en el Congreso y a la administración para alcanzar una solución a largo plazo para financiar este importante programa”. Información: La congresista Rosen lideró un esfuerzo bipartidista con los cuatro miembros de la delegación de Nevada en el Cámara de Representantes, instando a la administradora de CMS Seema Verma a que financie inmediatamente el programa ‘Nevada Check Up’ para que pueda operar hasta febrero. El programa CHIP expiró el 30 de septiembre de 2017, y el gobernador Sandoval informó recientemente a la delegación de Nevada que el programa se quedaría sin fondos para la atención de la salud de los niños el 15 de diciembre. El Programa de Seguro Médico Infantil fue aprobado por primera vez en 1997 y proporciona fondos del presupuesto federal a los estados para que estos a su vez proporcionen cobertura médica a niños de familias que no califican para obtener Medicaid, pero que no pueden pagar por cobertura médica privada.

ROSEN HELPS INTRODUCE LEGISLATION TO EXPAND HEALTH CARE OPTIONS FOR DISABLED VETERANS | 2017-12-06 | 2017 | 2017-12 | Democrat | House | NV | Jacky Rosen | R000608 | rosen.house.gov | legacy | WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Today, Congresswoman Jacky Rosen (NV-03) helped introduce the Fair Access to Insurance for Retired (FAIR) Heroes Act, bipartisan legislation that would provide disabled veterans, who are medically retired from the military, the ability to choose between TRICARE and Medicare Part B, whichever health plan works best for their families. This bill could potentially save many veterans up to $1,300 a year on their health care costs. “I’m happy to work across the aisle to make health insurance more affordable and accessible for our nation’s veterans,” said Rosen. “By granting disabled veterans the choice between Medicare Part B and TRICARE, we are helping them to make the best health care decision for themselves based on the quality and cost of care. Our veterans have sacrificed so much for our country and deserve the very best care, and I will continue to support policies that achieve this goal. ” BACKGROUND: Congresswoman Rosen is one of five original co-sponsors of the FAIR Heroes Act. Under the current system, many medically retired veterans (servicemembers forced into early retirement due to injury) lose access to low-cost TRICARE plans when their injuries limit their ability to work. If these veterans are unable to work, they receive Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) payments. If they receive SSDI for two years, they become eligible for Medicare Part B. Current law requires them to purchase Medicare when they become eligible. If they decline to enroll in Medicare, they lose access to TRICARE coverage. Medicare Part B premiums are nearly five times that of TRICARE plans and difficult for those on a fixed income to afford. The FAIR Heroes Act would make disabled veterans eligible for both Medicare Part B and TRICARE, and allow them to choose which health plan works best for them. The FAIR Heroes Act is supported by many prominent veteran and military family organizations, such as the Wounded Warrior Project, Veterans of Foreign Wars, Paralyzed Veterans of America, Iraq and Afghanistan… | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | ||

The Administration’s move to downsize Gold Butte National Monument is a direct attack on the Antiquities Act, and I will continue to fight this reckless decision.” BACKGROUND: This summer, Congresswoman Rosen introduced an amendment to the Interior appropriations bill to prevent the downsizing of Gold Butte, which Republicans blocked from floor consideration. In July, the Congresswoman sent a letter to Secretary Zinke urging him to reconsider any decision to take the legally dubious step of shrinking Gold Butte and Basin and Range.

Titus Commends Committee Passage of New Bipartisan Background Checks Bill, Opposes Concealed Carry Reciprocity | 2017-12-05 | 2017 | 2017-12 | Democrat | House | NV | Dina Titus | T000468 | titus.house.gov | legacy | November 29, 2017 Washington, D.C. – Today Rep. Dina Titus of Nevada’s First Congressional District applauded the House Judiciary Committee’s vote to advance the FIX NICS Act of 2017, bipartisan legislation she co-sponsored to update the National Instance Criminal Background Check System by ensuring federal and state authorities comply with existing law and accurately report relevant criminal history records to the system’s database. The investigation into the recent shooting in Sutherland Springs, Texas, revealed enormous gaps in NICS. This bill provides consequences for federal agencies that fail to properly report relevant records and ensures that states improve their overall reporting. Federal and state records are thoroughly lacking, and this bill helps fill in those gaps. The Judiciary Committee also moved forward H.R. 38, the Concealed Carry Reciprocity Act, legislation to allow non-residents of a state to carry in other states that have legalized concealed carry. “In the aftermath of Sutherland Springs, the Air Force has admitted several dozen instances where it failed to report convictions of service members to NICS. We can only expect that the Air Force is not alone in letting people fall through the cracks. I encourage Republican leaders to swiftly bring this bill to the floor for a vote. Instead of passing the Concealed Carry Reciprocity Act they should also act favorably on either of my bills to keep bump stocks out of dangerous hands. Nearly two months after the 1 October tragedy, we must do more to prevent the senseless loss of life rather than jeopardize public safety with a bill that allows concealed weapons to be carried anywhere in the U.S.” | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | ||

Dina Titus of Nevada’s First Congressional District sent a letter to the chairman and ranking member on the House Energy and Commerce Committee to request a hearing on sports betting. Rep. Titus sent the letter Monday after the Supreme Court heard oral arguments in Christie v. NCAA. Text of the letter is below, and a copy is attached. December 4, 2017 The Honorable Greg Walden Chairman—Committee on Energy and Commerce 2125 Rayburn House Office Building Washington, DC 20515 The Honorable Frank Pallone Ranking Member—Committee on Energy and Commerce 2322A Rayburn House Office Building Washington, DC 20515 Dear Chairman Walden and Ranking Member Pallone, As the Supreme Court hears oral arguments in Christie v. NCAA and examines the Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act (PASPA), Congress should also turn its attention to sports betting in the United States. Regardless of legality, the sports betting market is alive and booming in the U.S. Our current system has created a $150 billion illegal sports betting market annually which is ripe for manipulation and use in other forms of criminal activity. Legalizing sports betting with regulation and safeguards would diminish problems caused by the black market and allow state governments to generate additional tax revenue to fund local communities. States are already preparing for a judicial outcome that paves the way for access to sports betting, with 13 having introduced legislation on the issue this year. Pennsylvania and Connecticut have both passed measures to regulate sports betting in their states if it becomes legal. In addition, Adam Silver, Commissioner of the NBA, has recently said the NBA will engage Congress, regardless of the outcome of Christie v. NCAA, on federal policy to regulate sports betting. It is evident that this issue will be coming to Congress, and we must be ready to move quickly to ensure we protect consumers while excluding bad actors … | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | ||

Dina Titus of Nevada’s First Congressional District released the following statement on Christie v. NCAA, the upcoming case to examine the Professional and Amateur Sports Betting Act (PASPA). “PASPA has created a landscape where $150 billion in sports wagers are made annually without proper regulation or taxation. As the Supreme Court embarks on what is likely to be a landmark case for the gaming industry which sets 10th Amendment precedents, Congress must be prepared to assess and address how we can eliminate bad actors and ensure proper oversight of popular entertainment. Las Vegas is home to the world’s premier gaming properties, experts, companies and regulators. Those of us who have been involved with the industry know that a regulated market is better than an illegal one. Change is long overdue.” | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | ||

Dina Titus of Nevada’s First Congressional District released the following statement after Interior Secretary Zinke announced plans to shrink the size of Gold Butte National Monument. “Secretary Zinke has been busy snorkeling, fundraising, and undermining the integrity of the Interior Department. He is in no position to make a sound judgment on Gold Butte. When he traveled to Nevada in July, he did a few photo ops, made an erroneous argument that Gold Butte was denying water rights to locals, and skipped out on a meeting with other advocates and me. If he were interested in the will of Nevadans, Zinke would know that Gold Butte’s designation was the product of grassroots advocacy, good-faith negotiations, and the belief that our natural treasures should not be subject to the Trump Administration’s blatant disregard. We must continue to fight, on the ground and in the courts, to protect Nevada’s piece of the Grand Canyon.” | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | ||

The Administration’s decision will potentially open up millions of acres of land and treasured cultural sites, archaeological resources, and wildlife areas to destructive development. “This thoughtless decision by the Administration will put millions of acres of protected lands at risk of mining, drilling, and other harmful activities that will forever alter these outdoor treasures,” said Rosen. “By actively undermining the Antiquities Act, this Administration is undermining our nation’s history and the natural beauty on which our country prides itself. This sets a dangerous precedent, and I stand with the majority of Nevadans and Americans who are opposed to gutting protections for our National Monuments.” BACKGROUND: Last week, Congresswoman Rosen co-sponsored a bill introduced by Congressman Ruben Gallego (D-AZ) to protect and expand the Bears Ears National Monument. Earlier this year, Congresswoman Rosen filed an amendment to the Interior Department spending bill to block the agency from de-designating or downsizing Gold Butte or Basin and Range National Monuments, both located in Nevada. ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | ||

Claudia Tenney’s (NY-22) No Pensions for Corrupt Politicians Act, which would close an existing loophole that allows members of Congress convicted of bribery, perjury, conspiracy or other related crimes to continue collecting their taxpayer-funded pension. “When a Member of Congress is convicted of abusing the powers of their office, they should have to forfeit any claim to taxpayer-funded pensions,” said Rosen. “This bipartisan bill prevents any person serving in Congress who is convicted of bribery, perjury, conspiracy, or any other corruption-related charge, from later collecting a publicly-funded pension. I am proud to work across the aisle on this commonsense legislation and will continue to advocate for policies that root out government waste and put hardworking Nevada families and taxpayers first.” BACKGROUND: The No Pensions for Corrupt Politicians Act, H.R. 4314, prevents elected officials convicted of corruption-related charges from collecting pensions. It closes a loophole in the Honest Leadership and Open Government Act (P.L. 110-81) passed during the George W. Bush administration. Under that law, even when an elected official is convicted, they could continue to collect payments as long as they were actively appealing their conviction. H.R. 4314 prevents any pension collection until a ruling is overturned. Congresswoman Rosen has supported a number of efforts to reduce government waste and abuse of taxpayer dollars. In March, Rosen sent a bipartisan letter to House appropriators urging them to prohibit the use of taxpayer money for first-class flights for Members of Congress. In July, Rosen co-sponsored a bill that would prevent U.S. taxpayer money from going to corrupt foreign governments. ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | ||

"Members of Congress should not be using taxpayer money to cover up outrageous and inexcusable behavior, and this bill would put an immediate end to this ridiculous system. We need to continue to work in a bipartisan manner to establish a process that prevents sexual harassment and holds all lawmakers accountable for their actions, regardless of their gender, their seniority, or partisan politics.” BACKGROUND: The Congressional Accountability and Hush Fund Elimination Act would prevent taxpayer money from being used to settle sexual harassment and assault claims. This legislation would also protect victims and empower them to speak out. Congresswoman Rosen also co-sponsored legislation to mandate sexual harassment training for all Members of Congress and their staff. The legislation passed by a voice vote.

ROSEN VOTES TO EXPAND ACCESS TO AFFORDABLE HOUSING FOR NEVADA FAMILIES | 2017-12-01 | 2017 | 2017-12 | Democrat | House | NV | Jacky Rosen | R000608 | rosen.house.gov | legacy | WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Today, Congresswoman Jacky Rosen (NV-03) released the following statement after voting for the Preserving Access to Manufactured Housing Act of 2017. The bill passed by a vote of 256 to 163: “By cutting red tape on mortgage lending, we can expand access to affordable, manufactured housing for low-income families who are struggling to make ends meet, while still protecting core consumer protections enacted under Wall Street reform,” said Rosen. “Many Nevadans, especially those living in rural areas, are still reeling from the effects of the 2008 housing crisis. This commonsense legislation is a smart answer to tackle our statewide housing crisis, and will provide hardworking Nevada families with better access to affordable housing.” BACKGROUND: Rural communities - where housing is scarce - and urban areas like Las Vegas where housing and rental prices have increased faster than wages, are particularly hurt by rules that do not take into account the unique nature of financing for the purchase of a manufactured home. H.R. 1699 modifies the definitions of “high-cost mortgage,” “mortgage originator,” and “loan originator” that apply to manufactured housing, which would expand exemptions from federal lending rules for buyers and sellers of manufactured homes. It also increases the thresholds for small-dollar manufactured-housing loans, exempting more of those mortgages from federal regulations and making them easier to obtain. ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | ||

The news comes after Rosen led a bipartisan letter last week urging CMS Administrator Seema Verma to immediately fund the program. "It is unconscionable that even one child would lose health coverage due to Congressional inaction," said Rosen. "I'm grateful to CMS Administrator Verma for heeding our call to immediately fund Nevada Check Up, and will continue to press Congressional leadership and the Administration to reach a long-term solution to fund this critically important program." BACKGROUND: Congresswoman Rosen led a bipartisan letter with all four House members from Nevada’s Delegation urging CMS Administrator Seema Verma to immediately fund Nevada’s Check Up Program so that it could stay afloat until February. The CHIP program expired on September 30, 2017, and Governor Sandoval recently informed the Congressional Delegation that the state would run out of funds for children’s healthcare on December 15th. The Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP) was first signed into law in 1997 and provides federal matching funds to states to provide health coverage to children in families who don't qualify for Medicaid but can't afford private coverage. In Nevada, children living in households with an annual income of up to 200% of the federal poverty level may qualify for coverage through Nevada Check Up. Nearly 69,000 Nevada children received medical coverage through Nevada Check Up or CHIP this year.

Dina Titus released the following statement urging lawmakers to pass a clean bill funding the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP). CHIP funding expired on September 30 and states that have been able to take short-term measures to meet their obligations will soon run out of options. Nevada’s federal funding for CHIP will expire in January, risking the health care of 40,000 children who are covered with CHIP funding through the Nevada Checkup program and Medicaid Expansion (MCHIP). “The disastrous CHIP bill I opposed in the House earlier this month has no chance of passing in the Senate. It ties CHIP funding to measures gutting the ACA and the Prevention and Public Health Fund. That bill will cost Nevada at least $1.7 million in annual funding for services like cancer screenings, opioid addiction treatment, and childhood vaccines while also limiting the grace period for missed ACA health care plan premium payments – a move that will kick 688,000 off their insurance. I helped create Nevada Checkup when I served in the Nevada State Senate and have spent my career in Congress advocating for CHIP. There are 40,000 children in Nevada counting on Congress to act responsibly. We need a bill that protects children from President Trump’s attempts to destroy Obamacare.” | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | ||

Dina Titus, a member of the House Gun Violence Prevention Task Force, joined colleagues from the Nevada Delegation to reiterate her call for the House Judiciary Committee to host a hearing on bump stocks, which were used in the Las Vegas massacre killing 58 and injuring 489. The letter is attached. Representative Titus released the following statement: “As we mark two months since that tragic evening that took the lives of 58 and forever changed the lives of thousands of survivors and their families, I again implore my Republican colleagues to answer the nation’s call for action to prevent gun violence. I have introduced a number of bills to address bump stocks, ban access to high capacity magazines, require reporting on the purchasing of multiple semi-automatic weapons as we currently do for handguns, and make improvements to the background check system. Republican leaders, however, are pushing the NRA’s agenda, undermining state gun safety laws and nationalizing concealed carry reciprocity. For the families of those lost and the survivors of the 1 October massacre, of Sutherland Springs, Texas, and the countless other incidents of gun violence that occur every day in communities large and small, the Congress must take real, commonsense action to prevent future tragedies, not appease the gun lobby and make our communities less safe.” Congresswoman Titus is an original sponsor of multiple pieces of legislation addressing gun violence: H.R. 4168; the Closing the Bump-Stock Loophole Act, bipartisan legislation to regulate bump stocks, and similar devices, in the same manner as we do machine guns. H.R. 4025; the Multiple Firearm Sales Reporting Modernization Act, which requires reporting on the purchase of multiple semi-automatic weapons over a short period of time in the same manner as we currently require for handguns.

This legislation would make improvements to the cleanup process aimed at helping communities remediate and redevelop contaminated property. “This legislation will help clean up Nevada’s contaminated lands and create opportunities for economic development for both businesses and consumers,” Rosen said. “This bill significantly improves the Brownfields Program, empowering states and local communities to work together to help redevelop properties and create jobs for Nevadans. I will continue to support commonsense policies that promote environmental stewardship and help revitalize our state's economy.” BACKGROUND: H.R. 3017 reauthorizes the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s Brownfields Program at an annual level of $200 million through FY 2022. This program provides grants and technical assistance for cleanup efforts on land that was once used for industrial purposes or commercial use. Additionally, this bill will allow nonprofits and community development groups to be eligible for Brownfields grants. According to an EPA study, around 200 of the estimated 450,000 Brownfields sites across the nation are located throughout southern Nevada, with more contaminated grounds that have not yet been categorized as Brownfields sites. ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | ||

Kihuen applauded a $2 million U.S. Department of Transportation grant from the Federal Highway Administration’s Emergency Relief (ER) program that provides funds to repair Federal-aid highways and roads on Federal lands that have suffered serious damage as a result of natural disasters or catastrophic failures. The grant will repair damaged highways in Carson City, Churchill, Douglas, Elko, Eureka, Humboldt, Lander, Lyon, Mineral, Pershing, Storey, Washoe, and White Pine counties that were affected by a severe atmospheric river storm event in January of 2017. “The powerful winter storm that hit Nevada earlier this year caused serious and widespread damage across the northwest portion of the state. It’s vital that Nevada receives the resources we need to make a full recovery from natural disasters like this, so I am thankful that the Department of Transportation has granted these funds to repair highways and make sure infrastructure in this region is functional and traversable.” Kihuen said. | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | ||

Dina Titus of Nevada’s First Congressional District applauded the IRS’ decision to grant the Las Vegas Victims Fund 501 (C) (3) status and allow the non-profit’s donors to deduct contributions from their taxes. “In the minutes and days following the 1 October tragedy, the world witnessed the tight-knit bonds in our neighborhoods, brave first responders working without fear, and the good Samaritans on every corner who acted without hesitation in Las Vegas. Not every selfless gesture will be recognized or commemorated. Not every hero will be known. But we must do our best to shine a light on the work that’s being done to help Las Vegas heal. I applaud the IRS for recognizing the generosity and perseverance of our community and working with my office to help victims and their families in any way possible.” BACKGROUND On Monday, the IRS granted 501 (C) (3) status to the Las Vegas Victims Fund and determined that under the Internal Revenue Code (IRC) Section 170 donors can deduct their contributions from their taxes. In addition, the Las Vegas Victims Fund will also be qualified to receive tax deductible bequests, devises, transfers, or gifts under IRC Section 2055, 2106, or 2522. | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | ||

Rep. Kihuen cited specific concerns raised by the Nevada Legislature that any proposed northern route should not bypass Mineral County, costing those communities the economic boost that would come with the development of Interstate 11. During his first term, Rep. Kihuen has made infrastructure development and job creation one his top priorities. Earlier this month, Rep. Kihuen hosted Democratic Whip Steny H. Hoyer in Las Vegas to discuss the future of Interstate 11 and needed federal support for other infrastructure opportunities in Nevada. f t # e | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | ||

ROSEN CELEBRATES SMALL BUSINESS SATURDAY, ENCOURAGES NEVADANS TO SHOP SMALL DURING THE HOLIDAY SEASON | 2017-11-25 | 2017 | 2017-11 | Democrat | House | NV | Jacky Rosen | R000608 | rosen.house.gov | legacy | WASHINGTON D.C. – Today, Congresswoman Jacky Rosen (NV-03) released the following statement encouraging constituents to participate in Small Business Saturday. Falling between Black Friday and Cyber Monday, Small Business Saturday is a day to celebrate and support the small, independently-owned businesses that help boost local economies in Nevada and across the country. “Small Business Saturday gives us all an opportunity to celebrate the hard work and determination that goes into running a local business,” said Rosen. “Whether it is a family-run restaurant, an e-commerce store, or a brick-and-mortar retailer, small businesses employ hundreds of thousands of Nevadans and are and truly the backbone of our economy. I encourage Nevadans to support our small business community, so that we can continue to empower job creators and grow our local economy.” BACKGROUND: According to the Small Business Administration, Nevada’s small businesses employed over 450,000 people or 41.3% of the private workforce, in 2014. Ahead of Small Business Saturday, Congresswoman Rosen has cosponsored several bills to help Nevada businesses continue to prosper. Rosen recently co-sponsored the Veterans Job Opportunity Act, a bill that would establish a small business start-up tax credit for veterans who create businesses in underserved communities. Rosen also cosponsored the Small Business Cybersecurity Enhancement Act, bipartisan legislation to help small businesses obtain the resources needed to protect them from cyberattacks. Congresswoman Rosen calls on residents to share the small businesses that they love on social media using #ShopSmall and/or #SmallBizSat. Merchants and consumers can learn more about Small Business Saturday and how to get involved by visiting ShopSmall.com. ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | ||

ROSEN COSPONSORS THE SMALL BUSINESS CYBERSECURITY ENHANCEMENT ACT | 2017-11-24 | 2017 | 2017-11 | Democrat | House | NV | Jacky Rosen | R000608 | rosen.house.gov | legacy | WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Ahead of Small Business Saturday, Congresswoman Jacky Rosen (NV-03) cosponsored H.R. 3968, the Small Business Cybersecurity Enhancement Act. This bipartisan legislation, introduced by Reps. Brad Schneider (D-IL) and Brian Fitzpatrick (R-PA), would help small businesses obtain the resources needed to protect them from cyberattacks by creating a loan guarantee program to cover the costs of small businesses' acquisition and installation of cybersecurity technology and services. According to the Small Business Administration, over 400,000 workers are employed by small businesses in Nevada. “Far too often, local entrepreneurs are forced to shut down after facing a crippling cyberattack,” said Rosen. “As hackers continue to use sophisticated methods to breach systems, they are increasingly targeting small businesses, leaving employers, employees and customers all at risk. This commonsense legislation would help Nevada’s small businesses stay ahead of the curve by creating a loan guarantee program for small businesses so that they can protect themselves and their customers from hackers and cyberattacks.” BACKGROUND: Congresswoman Rosen is also a co-sponsor of the the NIST Small Business Cybersecurity Act of 2017. H.R. 2105 would direct the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) to work with other federal agencies to create and make available clear and concise resources to help small businesses identify, manage, and reduce their cybersecurity risks. Earlier this year, Congresswoman Rosen helped the legislation unanimously pass the House Science, Space, and Technology Committee. According to a 2016 State of SMB Cybersecurity Report, hackers have breached 14 million small businesses nationwide.

The CHIP program expired on September 30, 2017. “I am outraged that Congressional inaction could result in tens of thousands of vulnerable children in Nevada losing access to health care,” said Rosen. “Nevada is among a handful of states that will be first to run out of CHIP funding, and I will not stand by to see our children denied coverage. Our delegation in the House is united in urging the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services to approve Nevada’s request to redistribute funding and keep our CHIP program running. Nevada is facing a rapidly approaching coverage cliff and cannot afford any further delay on this critical funding.” BACKGROUND: The Children’s Health Insurance Program was first signed into law in 1997 and provides federal matching funds to states to provide health coverage to children in families who don't qualify for Medicaid but can't afford private coverage. In Nevada, children living in households with an annual income of up to 200% of the federal poverty level may qualify for coverage through Nevada Check Up. Nearly 69,000 Nevada children received medical coverage through Nevada Check Up or CHIP this year.

This legislation, introduced by Rep. Al Lawson (FL-5), would establish a small business start-up tax credit for veterans who create businesses in underserved communities. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, more than one in 10 small businesses in Nevada are Veteran-owned, with over 23,000 Veteran-owned businesses helping to create jobs and stimulate the economy. “Part of keeping our promise to our veterans is helping our heroes transition back to civilian life when they return home from their service,” said Rosen. “This bill gives our veterans a tax credit and helps them build towards the American dream of opening a small business they can call their own. I am proud to cosponsor this bill, which will not only benefit our veterans but will help create jobs and provide an economic stimulus in our underserved communities.” BACKGROUND: The Veterans Job Opportunity Act, H.R. 3345, would provide a 15% tax credit for veterans who open a small business in underserved communities and allows the tax credit to be claimed for the purchase or lease of property, equipment, and materials in the creation of a small business. ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | ||

Starting with President Trump, no candidate or politician should serve if he or she is guilty of such unspeakable acts.

Earlier this month, Rosen joined 26 other members in sending a bipartisan letter to Secretary of State Rex Tillerson urging him to appoint a Coordinator for Sanctions Policy. “The White House's decision to designate North Korea as a state sponsor of terrorism is a measure I have voted for and support,” said Rosen. “This is a step in the right direction, but this Administration still hasn't taken many necessary actions to hold North Korea accountable for its dangerous activities. North Korea is a serious threat that requires a strong and calculated response, and the recent decision to eliminate the Coordinator for Sanctions Policy office at the State Department undercuts those efforts. If we're going to be effective, then we must have capable policy experts and a diplomatic corps who can implement sanctions and execute our foreign policies. I urge this Administration to reverse course and appoint a seasoned diplomat to coordinate and enforce Congressionally-mandated sanctions on bad state actors who pose a threat to our national and global security.” Read text of the letter here or below: BACKGROUND: Congresswoman Rosen has fought to ensure that the U.S. military, intelligence agencies, and diplomatic corps are fully prepared to protect Americans from North Korean aggression and to hold the Kim regime accountable for its malicious activities.

Kihuen released the statement below following the vote on the House Republican tax plan: “The House Republican tax bill is nothing more than a handout to big corporations and the wealthiest Americans that unfairly sticks working and middle-class families with the bill. The bill eliminates critical deductions for Americans burdened by student loan debt and medical expenses, sets the table for $1.5 trillion in cuts to Medicare and Medicaid, adds $1.5 trillion to our national debt, and ultimately will increase taxes by an average of $680 for 113,000 middle and low-income Nevada families. Rather than pass bipartisan tax reform to grow our economy for hardworking families, this bill is a shameless giveaway for special interests and corporations that leaves ordinary Americans empty-handed.” f t # e | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | ||

I was disappointed to see Republicans also refuse to adopt amendments I submitted to protect important these provisions in our tax code that help families make ends meet. I will continue to call for a bipartisan effort to create a simpler, fairer tax code that invests in our small businesses and regular Nevada families, who are the backbone of our economy.” BACKGROUND: Rep. Rosen submitted six amendments to counter the harmful provisions included in the GOP plan. Amendments to H.R. 1 filed by Rep.

Thousands of teachers are able to deduct expenses they incur to buy supplies for their classrooms. Students deduct interest on their loans. The sick and disabled deduct medical expenses. Taxpayers in my district reduce their burden by more than $1.4 billion every year with these deductions and others. This is just the tip of the iceberg.

Kihuen issued the following statement after the Financial Services Committee unanimously passed, with all 60 members of the committee voting in favor, the Expanding Access to Capital for Rural Job Creators Act, legislation he authored to help expand economic opportunities for entrepreneurs in rural areas. The bill underscores Rep. Kihuen’s commitment to create good jobs and grow the economy so that it works for all Nevadans. “All throughout our state people are searching for a good job that will help them provide for their families. Far too many Nevadans, especially in our rural areas, have been left out and left behind the economic growth we have seen in other areas of the country. Today I am proud that the Financial Services Committee unanimously passed my legislation that will help identify and examine the unique challenges facing rural-area small businesses in securing access to capital. By supporting these job creators in our state, we can create a path to good-paying jobs for all Nevadans and help make sure they have the tools to work towards a better life for themselves and their families. In Congress, one of my top priorities is fighting for good-paying, full-time jobs that will ensure a bright future for every Nevadan and their family.” Background: The Expanding Access to Capital for Rural Job Creators Act amends section four, subsection J, of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, which establishes an Office of the Advocate for Small Business Capital Formation within the Securities and Exchange Commission, to expand the focus areas of the Advocate to include rural-area small businesses. In addition, the bill would require that the issues that small businesses and small business investors encounter in accessing or providing capital to rural-area small businesses be included in an existing yearly report published by the Advocate, … | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | ||

Rosen’s amendments would protect the medical expense deduction, the deduction for teachers buying school supplies out of pocket, tax credits for solar and geothermal energy, deductions for student loan interest and tuition expenses, Private Activity Bonds that incentivize private investment in public works, and the Work Opportunity Tax Credit that helps businesses hire veterans and the disabled. “Regular Nevadans deserve a simpler, fairer tax code that puts more money in their pockets while creating jobs, reducing the debt, and moving our economy forward,” said Rosen. “Instead, this partisan legislation eliminates a number of commonsense tax relief policies that help families burdened with high-cost medical expenses, students struggling to pay off their college loans, and teachers trying to buy basic supplies for their classrooms. My colleagues on the other side of the aisle need to consider what these harmful provisions in their tax bill will mean for average families trying to grapple with a medical crisis or make ends meet with rising tuition costs. For reasons beyond comprehension, this bill also repeals tax credits that help businesses hire our veterans and disabled Americans and invest in renewable energy. My amendments will protect these important provisions in the tax code, and they deserve bipartisan support. I hope Congressional Republicans will re-evaluate this flawed plan and come back to the table to find common ground on bipartisan tax reform bill that puts working families and small businesses ahead of billionaires and corporate profits.” Amendments to H.R. 1 filed by Rep. Jacky Rosen: Amendment #76: Prevents the elimination of the medical expense deduction.

The Code Like a Girl Act, H.R. 3316, creates two National Science Foundation grants to research and fund computer science programs that encourage early childhood education in STEM for girls under the age of 11. The Building Blocks of STEM Act, H.R. 3397, directs the National Science Foundation to more equitably allocate funding for research in the Discovery Research PreK-12 (DRK-12) program to studies with a focus on early childhood. “I'm proud to see both of my STEM education proposals move forward with strong bipartisan support, and I am working across the aisle to ensure this combined bill gets a vote on the House floor,” said Rosen. “This legislation will help invest in our children so they can meet the challenges of a changing economy that increasingly relies on highly-skilled labor and technology. I will continue to advocate for smart investments in STEM education so we can build a more effective workforce that helps America's economy stay globally competitive.” “Technology is continuing to impact the way we live our lives, and at Girl Scouts, we want girls to have the tech skills to be the creators, designers, inventors in this tech driven world. STEM is the future, and we want girls to be part of creating that future.” said Sylvia Acevedo, CEO of Girl Scouts of the USA. “Together, this legislation will encourage more girls to pursue an interest in STEM and will continue to build the female STEM pipeline. As Girl Scouts, we are proud to provide the premier STEM leadership experiences in the world for girls, and we are grateful to Congress for their vision and their work on this vital topic for the future of our nation.” ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | ||

Whether it’s Epi-Pens or cancer treatments, we cannot sit on the sidelines while hardworking Nevada families struggle to access these life-saving medications.

Because the bill is expected to increase the deficit by $1.5 trillion over the next decade, it will also trigger $136 billion in automatic spending cuts to programs that my constituents depend on every day. At least $25 billion from Medicare and billions more from dozens of programs will go on the chopping block.

Salazar, 202-225-9894 Olivia Manz Press.Kihuen@mail.house.gov Video can be found here. WASHINGTON, D.C – Today, Representative Ruben J. Kihuen joined leaders from community health centers at Hope Christian Health Center in Southern Nevada to call on Congress to extend the Community Health Centers Fund (CHCF) to make sure Nevadans can continue to count on community health centers to get the care they need. “Over 80,000 Nevadans rely on community health centers like Hope Christian Health center for vital primary and preventative care. It’s unacceptable that hardworking Americans have to live in uncertainty while Congress fails to act to make sure they have access to health care. I will continue to work to make sure Congress extends the Community Health Centers Fund so that hardworking Nevada families can continue to count on community health centers to access the health care they need.” Background The CHCF accounts for 70% of community health centers’ federal grant funding, and with this funding in question, the health care of millions across our nation is under threat. The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) estimated that without funding in 2018, approximately 2,800 health center sites would close, costing more than 50,000 jobs, and endangering the health care of about 9 million patients. Representative Ruben J. Kihuen is a co-sponsor of the Community Health Investment, Modernization and Excellence (CHIME) Act of 2017, a bipartisan bill to extend the Community Health Centers Fund (CHCF) for five years, with modest increases to ensure responsiveness to demand for care and national priority areas. | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | ||

It is because of these heroes that we are able to enjoy the freedoms and liberties that our military is sworn to protect. On this Veterans Day, I want to thank the more than 200,000 veterans living in Nevada for their courage and their service to our country. I am truly honored to represent our heroes and I will work each day to ensure that we keep our promise to our veterans and military families and support them in every way.” ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | ||

Dina Titus of Nevada’s First Congressional District joined 76 of her House colleagues in writing a letter to Defense Secretary James Mattis that asks him to outline his plan for reforming how the Air Force and other branches of the military submit information to the National Criminal Information Center (NCIS) database. The Representatives wrote the letter after the Air Force confirmed its failure to submit the conviction record of Devin Kelley, the Sutherland Springs shooter who murdered 26 churchgoers on Nov. 5, to the NCIS database. The text of the letter is posted below. The Honorable James Mattis Secretary U.S. Department of Defense Washington, DC 22202 Dear Secretary Mattis: Gun violence has a devastating impact on our communities. Every day, 30 people die as a result of gun violence. These deaths are preventable. We, as a Nation, should be doing everything in our power to put an end to these senseless acts. The first line of defense in preventing gun violence, is a strong background check system. Everyday background checks are used they stop more than 170 felons, some 50 domestic abusers, and nearly 20 fugitives from buying a gun. However, the system only works, however, when relevant information is added in a timely and accurate manner. That’s why it was shocking to learn that the Air Force failed to submit Devin Kelley’s conviction record to the National Criminal Information Center database. As a result, Mr. Kelley was able to obtain a firearm and murder 26 people in a church on Sunday, November 5th. The inaction on the part of the Air Force is inexcusable. Why was the record not submitted? How many additional records have yet to be submitted? What is your plan to ensure that all relevant records will be submitted and by when? We look forward to a timely response. Sincerely, | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | ||

Dina Titus (NV-1) and her bipartisan effort to curtail the Department of Veterans Affairs’ unnecessary and inhumane medical experiments on dogs. The supportive Veterans Service Organizations include VetsFirst, The Retired Enlisted Association (TREA), Military-Veterans Advocacy (MVA), and the American Military Retirees Association (AMRA). “Our nation’s veterans deserve better than having the VA spend taxpayers’ money on cruel and ineffective experiments on dogs when there are other proven treatment methods available,” said Rep. Titus. “I’m honored that the American Military Retirees Association, The Retired Enlisted Association, Military-Veterans Advocacy, and VetsFirst have joined the many other veterans supporting my bipartisan work to stop needless dog testing at the VA.” “We are concerned by the apparent lack of evidence that the VA’s past and ongoing canine research—particularly projects involving causing dogs pain and distress, some of which is not relieved—has led to effective and accessible treatments or cures for veteran-specific illnesses,” wrote VetsFirst in a letter endorsed by the American Military Retirees Association and The Retired Enlisted Association. “As such, we support your efforts to eliminate unnecessary VA canine research that is not serving the specific needs of all veterans so that these resources can be more appropriately allocated.” “We are writing to express our support for your work to curtail wasteful and unnecessary dog experimentation at the Department of Veterans Affairs,” wrote Military-Veterans Advocacy in a letter to Rep. Titus. “[T]he VA is expending significant time, money, staff, research space, and other resources to conduct and defend questionable dog experimentation that is opposed by most veterans, ineffective and has little to do with service-related disabilities.

Kihuen applauded four USDA Rural Development grants totaling $50,320. “It’s critical that we invest in the infrastructure and community resources so that Nevadans who live in rural areas enjoy the same quality of life as those in urban areas. These USDA Rural Development grants make needed improvements across our state and are a small part of a large effort to ensure the sustainability of our rural communities. As the representative for Nevada’s Fourth Congressional District, I am dedicated to making sure rural communities get the resources they need to thrive.” USDA Rural Development announced the following grants: $18,000.00 to help fund a new patrol vehicle for the Mineral County Sheriff's Department, allowing the county to save on maintenance and repair costs. $15,000.00 to help fund a new walk-in freezer for the Caliente Olson Senior Center, which will allow the Senior Center to provide and prepare meals for the elderly in the community. $16,420.00 to help fund new personal protective equipment lockers for the Mason Valley Fire District in Yerington, Nevada. This project will ensure the equipment is stored in a safe, climate controlled area that is free from apparatus exhaust. $900.00 to help purchase new stairs and doors for the Walker River Paiute Tribe Child Care Center. ### Kihuen.house.gov - Facebook - Twitter f t # e | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | ||

This bipartisan legislation would expand existing background checks for all commercial gun purchases: “Our gun violence epidemic is not normal, and we must also realize that it’s not inevitable,” said Rosen. “Communities like mine have suffered enough from this horrific violence, and it’s time to have a real dialogue about commonsense solutions that will help keep guns out of the hands of individuals who shouldn’t have them. Enforcing background checks for all commercial gun purchases and closing outrageous loopholes that shouldn’t exist will help ensure that dangerous weapons do not end up in the wrong hands.” BACKGROUND: Under the legislation, the current background check system would be expanded to require comprehensive and enforceable background checks on all commercial gun sales, such as those made at gun shows, over the internet or through classified ads. H.R. 4240 would also help strengthen the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) by incentivizing states to improve reporting of criminals and the dangerously mentally ill and by directing future grant funds toward better record-sharing systems. The bill will reduce federal funds to states that do not comply. Congresswoman Jacky Rosen is a member of the bipartisan Problem Solvers Caucus and one of 10 original Democratic co-sponsors of the bipartisan Curbelo-Moulton bill to ban bump stocks. ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | ||

TPS grants safe haven in the United States for families and children fleeing armed conflict, natural disasters, and other difficult conditions in their country of origin. “This administration's cruel decision will upend the lives of thousands of Nicaraguans who have come to America for safety and have been contributing to our communities and our economy for over a decade,” said Rosen. “This will separate parents from their American-born children and endanger the lives of thousands who have fled war, famine, political oppression, and catastrophic natural disasters. I will continue to fight on behalf of the thousands of families threatened by this misguided decision and defend our immigrant communities against this administration.” BACKGROUND: According to the Center for American Progress, 6,300 people in Nevada are TPS holders from El Salvador, Honduras, and Haiti. Approximately, 5,200 U.S.-born children in Nevada have parents from El Salvador, Honduras, and Haiti who have TPS. Should the Trump administration refuse to renew status for TPS holders from these counties, Nevada will lose $269.5 million annually in economic activity. ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | ||

The Administration is also expected to make decisions on TPS recipients from Haiti and El Salvador in the coming weeks. There are 6,300 TPS recipients from El Salvador, Honduras, and Haiti in Nevada in addition to 5,200 children whose parents are living in the state under TPS status, according to the Center for American Progress. “The Trump Administration continues its callous anti-immigrant and inhumane actions with this latest decision. These folks fled unthinkable circumstances, built new lives, and have contributed to communities in Nevada for nearly 20 years, generating an estimated $269 million for our economy annually. A party that allegedly supports family values and economic prosperity, Republicans have instead resorted to tearing our community apart rather than considering a comprehensive immigration reform plan to address TPS, DACA, and other programs to keep hard-working, law-abiding families in the places they call home.” | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | ||

Kihuen released the following statement on the House vote on a bill that raises Medicare premiums on seniors, sabotages Americans who purchase health insurance on Affordable Care Act exchanges, and cuts the Prevention and Public Health Fund under the guise of reauthorizing funding for the Children’s Health Insurance Program, Community Health Centers, and other public health initiatives. “Today, Republicans launched yet another reckless attempt to undermine Medicare and sabotage the Affordable Care Act by offering a hyperpartisan bill that pits the health of children against the promises we’ve made to our seniors and older Americans. Congressional Republicans already demonstrated how little they care about the millions of people who rely on the Children’s Health Insurance Program and Community Health Centers when they took the unprecedented step of allowing that funding to expire on September 30th. Instead of allowing a vote on a bipartisan bill to reauthorize the Children’s Health Insurance Program and Community Health Centers funding today, they forced a vote on a bill that will die in the Senate and only delay that funding even further. Even worse, Republicans used this bill to continue their never-ending crusade to undermine Medicare and the Affordable Care Act. This bill will raise premiums for Medicare beneficiaries and break our promise to seniors. It cuts the Affordable Care Act’s Prevention Fund by $6.35 billion over the next 10 years, gutting valuable health programs that help our community. It also puts more Americans who buy their insurance on the exchanges at risk of being kicked off their insurance if they miss just one monthly premium payment.

House Republicans put forward a bill to continue these programs with misguided cuts and funding mechanisms I do not support, and they refused to accept a motion I supported to remove this bill's controversial and harmful provisions." “I recognize the serious flaws in this bill, but I could not in good conscience vote against renewing a program that tens of thousands of Nevada children depend on for access to health care, or against critical funding for Nevada’s community health centers. I was elected to solve problems, and ultimately I decided to vote for this bill so that we can keep our children healthy and protect the most vulnerable members of our communities. Republicans in Congress must stop playing political games with health care, and I urge my colleagues in the Senate to right this wrong and fix this legislation.” ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | ||

Dina Titus of Nevada’s First Congressional District released the following statement after House Republicans passed H.R. 3922, legislation to cut the Prevention and Public Health Fund and attack the Affordable Care Act in order to reauthorize the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP). The partisan, ideological bill cuts $6.35 billion from the Prevention and Public health fund which was created by the ACA to provide access to preventive health services like cancer screenings, childhood vaccines, and wellness programs. Nevada will lose $1.7 million next year if the bill becomes law. The proposal limits the grace period for missed ACA health care plan premium payments from 90 days to 30 days – a move that will kick 688,000 people off their insurance plans. Republicans killed a motion offered by Democrats to fix this dangerous bill by reauthorizing the spending for the Children’s Health Insurance Program, Community Health Centers, and other public health programs without having to sabotage the ACA and kick people off their insurance plans. “This Republican measure is not a bill to reauthorize CHIP. It is a bill that attacks the ACA by gutting funding and taking away health insurance,” Rep. Titus said. “This misguided bill steals $1.7 million from Nevada next year and kicks 688,000 people off their insurance plans. It takes vaccinations away from children, eliminates cancer screenings, rolls back services for opioid addiction, and eradicates other outreach efforts. When I was a State Senator I introduced the bill to create CHIP in Nevada and during my time in Congress I have advocated for fully funding the program without having to pit children against their families. Republicans need to start worrying about how we improve our nation’s health care system and stop worrying about pushing Trump’s anti-health agenda through Congress.” | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | ||

The tax brackets look reasonable at first glance, but the minutiae of the bill tell a different story. As we await a score from the Congressional Budget Office, I cannot see how working families will save money if we are removing the personal exemption and the ability to write off medical costs while cutting the sales-tax deduction that saves Nevada residents hundreds of millions annually. As for how we will pay for the cuts outlined in the 429-page tax bill, look no further than the budget resolution passed by Republicans last week that approves a $1.5 trillion increase in the deficit over the next decade. Working families in my district must not be fooled by this bill. Republicans want them to pay for their friends’ tax breaks.” | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | ||

Kihuen held a press conference with Members of Nevada’s Congressional Delegation and survivors of the shooting to remember victims and call for action to prevent gun violence. Representative Kihuen, along with fellow Nevada Representative Jacky Rosen, also sent a letter to the Chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, Bob Goodlatte, calling on him to hold a hearing and examine the use and legality of “bump stocks”. “Today marks one month since the horrible tragedy in Las Vegas in which 58 people lost their lives and more than 500 were injured when a gunman opened fire on a crowd of concertgoers. This was the worst mass shooting in modern American history but we have yet to see any significant action from Congress to prevent gun violence. As Members of Congress, we have a solemn responsibility to protect our citizens and ensure that another mass shooting like the one in Las Vegas never happens again. We owe it to the victims and survivors of this heartbreaking and heinous attack to thoroughly examine why these devices are sold legally and are readily available in the United States. It would be a grave mistake for Congress not to take action to prevent a similar massacre in the future.” ### Kihuen.house.gov - Facebook - Twitter f t # e | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | ||

Kihuen released two video messages kicking off the Open Enrollment period which begins on November 1st and ends December 15th. Representative Kihuen has been working with community partners, health providers, and the Nevada Health Link on a number of outreach efforts to ensure the community has information about the Open Enrollment Period. The videos, in both English and Spanish, provide information for residents living in Nevada about health care options available during the Open Enrollment Period. To get covered during Open Enrollment, Nevadans can visit Nevadahealthlink.com or Healthcare.gov or call 1-855-7NVLINK (1-855-768-5465) to find enrollment assistance. Background Since being elected to Congress, Representative Kihuen has been working to improve the Affordable Care Act (ACA) to make health insurance more affordable and accessible for all Nevadans. Representative Kihuen cosponsored the Marketplace Certainty Act which would permanently fund cost-sharing reduction subsidies to help address market instability and make insurance plans more affordable for Nevadans. Additionally, the Congressman is a cosponsor of the State Public Option Act which would create a public insurance option, the Medicare Buy-In and Healthcare Stabilization Act which would allow Americans ages 50-64 to buy into Medicare, and the Affordable Coverage For More Americans Act which would eliminate the cliff that currently blocks many middle-class individuals and families from receiving financial help to purchase insurance through the exchanges.

Rosen’s Remarks Here WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Today, on the one-month anniversary of the October 1 mass shooting in Las Vegas, Congresswoman Jacky Rosen (NV-03) joined members of Nevada’s Congressional delegation and survivors of the shooting to honor the victims and renew her call for action on sensible policies to prevent gun violence. Rosen sent a letter with Congressman Ruben Kihuen (NV-04) to Chairman of the House Judiciary Committee Bob Goodlatte calling on him to hold an immediate hearing to examine the use and legality of bump stocks. “On October 1, the worst mass shooting in modern American history forever altered the lives of countless families in Las Vegas and across the country,” said Rosen. “Every day that Congress fails to take action is another day we fail to honor the 58 people whose lives were cut short. I know we can respect the Second Amendment while taking reasonable steps to reduce the carnage inflicted by gun violence on our communities. We all must continue to stand up, speak out, and refuse to accept inaction." BACKGROUND: Congresswoman Rosen is an original co-sponsor of bipartisan legislation to ban the manufacture, sale, and use of “bump stocks” and similar devices. The Curbelo-Moulton bill has 20 original co-sponsors, made up of 10 Republicans and 10 Democrats. ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | ||

The brief was filed in the case of Masterpiece Cakeshop, Ltd. V. Colorado Civil Rights Commission: “No one should ever be treated like a second-class citizen because of who they love,” said Rosen. “This case boils down to discrimination and equal treatment under the law. I am proud to stand on the right side of history and will continue to be an outspoken advocate for equality for our LGBTQ community and for all Americans everywhere.” BACKGROUND: In 2012, Masterpiece Cakeshop, a bakery in Colorado, refused to bake a wedding cake for husbands-to-be David Mullins and Charlie Craig. The owner of Masterpiece, Jack Phillips, told the couple he would not provide service for the same-sex couple because his religious beliefs did not support same-sex marriage. Mullins and Craig pursued their case against Masterpiece and won victories in the lower courts. The Supreme Court will consider whether or not businesses can ignore state nondiscrimination laws if their motivation for discriminating is based on religious or moral disapproval of LGBTQ people. The case has the potential to create a broad loophole to every nondiscrimination statute across the country. Earlier this year, Congresswoman Rosen helped to introduce the Equality Act of 2017. The Equality Act ensures that the same protections already extended to other protected classes are equally available to LGBTQ Americans. It amends existing federal civil rights laws to explicitly prohibit discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation and gender identity in education, employment, housing, credit, Federal jury service, public accommodations, and the use of Federal funds. ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | ||

November 1st marks the start of open enrollment season, which helps Nevadans choose and enroll in health coverage plans best fitting their budgetary and health circumstances: “This year’s open enrollment for Nevada Health Link is six weeks shorter than in previous years,” said Rosen. “From November 1st through December 15th, it is crucial that Nevada residents seeking health coverage for 2018 visit the Nevada Health Link to learn more about their online marketplace through the Silver State Health Insurance Exchange program. In the meantime, Congress must take swift action to better stabilize insurance markets and reverse the sabotage of our healthcare system. Now is the time for Congress to reach across the aisle and work together on smart, viable solutions that address market instability, lower healthcare costs, improve quality of care, and expand coverage for Nevada’s hardworking families.” BACKGROUND: Nevada residents interested in learning more about health coverage options can do so by visiting www.nevadahealthlink.com. Congresswoman Rosen is a co-sponsor of H.R.3258, the Marketplace Certainty Act, a bill that would immediately address market instability by controlling costs and keeping insurers from exiting the Silver State Exchange. The bill funds cost-sharing reductions provided by the Affordable Care Act, which would help drive down premiums costs to make insurance plans more affordable for consumers. ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | ||

Dina Titus of Nevada’s First Congressional District released the following letter she sent to the Department of Homeland Security Secretary Nominee, Kirstjen Nielsen, urging her to bolster and improve the Urban Area Security Initiative grant program if she receives Senate approval to run DHS. Nielsen’s nomination was referred to the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee on October 16. UASI grants are a source of funding for the Metropolitan Police Fusion Center, which played a crucial role as a coordination hub for law enforcement in response to the 1 October tragedy in Las Vegas. During her time in office, Rep. Titus has requested DHS change its funding formula for the program to help ensure that Las Vegas receives a larger sum that better reflects its unique needs as a tourist destination. Below is a copy of the letter: October 30, 2017 Kirstjen Nielsen Nominee for Secretary—Department of Homeland Security Washington, D.C. 20528 Dear Ms. Nielsen, Congratulations on your recent nomination as Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security. As you continue preparations for the confirmation process, I urge you to consider how you can bolster and improve the Urban Area Security Initiative (UASI) grant program in your new role. I am proud to represent the First District of Nevada which includes the Las Vegas Strip, McCarran International Airport, University of Nevada—Las Vegas, College of Southern Nevada, and Downtown Las Vegas. The UASI grant program, designed to help metropolitan areas prevent, mitigate, respond to, and recover from acts of terrorism, has been vital to helping our local law enforcement protect Las Vegas tourists and residents. In the last two years, DHS awarded Las Vegas $3 million in UASI grants. The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Fusion Center, a recipient of funding from the UASI program, played a crucial role as a coordination center for law enforcement and public safety agencies during the horrific 1 October traged… | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | ||

Congresswoman Dina Titus (NV-01), Congressman Brian Fitzpatrick (PA-08), Congressman Dan Kildee (MI-05), and Congressman Dave Trott (MI-11) have introduced the Closing the Bump Stock Loophole Act, which would allow the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) to regulate bump stocks and functionally equivalent devices that substantially increase the rate of fire of a firearm in the same way it regulates machine guns and suppressors. The registration process for anyone in possession of or purchasing bump stock devices would include a rigorous background check, finger printing and a $200 registration fee. Under the National Firearms Act, it is illegal for Americans to own fully automatic firearms and machine guns manufactured after May 19, 1986. Due to a loophole in the law, however, bump stocks—devices attached to semi-automatic rifles that increase their rate of fire to resemble machine guns—are currently legal and unregulated. ATF has said it does not currently have the legal authority to address bump stocks or similar devices and has urged Congress to act to remedy this problem. “Following the 1 October tragedy in my district, I vowed to study and draft solutions with members on both sides of the aisle to prevent future acts of gun violence in our nation’s communities,” Congresswoman Titus said. “Since then, Reps. Fitzpatrick, Kildee, Trott and I have developed a bipartisan bill to regulate bump stocks or similar devices the same as machine guns and the deadliest of weapons. I believe the majority of Americans would agree: Anyone who wants a device that modifies a firearm to shoot hundreds of rounds per minute should undergo thorough background checks and oversight.

Kihuen joined health care enrollment navigators at Volunteers in Medicine of Southern Nevada, which is a Nevada Health Link enrollment assistance location, to kick off the Open Enrollment Period. Open Enrollment begins on November 1st and ends December 15th. To get covered during this time, Nevadans can visit nevadahealthlink.com or healthcare.gov to find enrollment assistance. “The Affordable Care Act (ACA) has helped improve the lives of so many Americans, especially in Nevada. In my district alone, the uninsured rate has gone from 22% to 12% since the ACA was implemented. I am committed to doing everything possible to make sure Nevadans know where to go to find the healthcare coverage that is right for them and their families during this Open Enrollment season. “At every turn, this administration has attempted to sabotage and undermine the Affordable Care Act, from slashing cost-sharing reduction payments to spending months on reckless repeal-and-replace efforts. Due to the absence of leadership from the White House and its failure to reach out and make the enrollment period successful, it is up to Members of Congress, advocacy groups, and citizens to help connect their communities and constituents with information about signing up for health coverage on the exchanges.” Background: Earlier this year, Rep. Kihuen cosponsored the Marketplace Certainty Act which would permanently fund cost-sharing reduction subsidies, helping address market instability and helping make insurance plans more affordable for Nevadans.

JACKY ROSEN HELPS INTRODUCE BILL TO INCREASE COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS FOR GOLD STAR FAMILIES | 2017-10-27 | 2017 | 2017-10 | Democrat | House | NV | Jacky Rosen | R000608 | rosen.house.gov | legacy | WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Today, Congresswoman Jacky Rosen (NV-03) released the following statement after she helped introduce Congresswoman Carol Shea-Porter’s (NH-01) Surviving Spouses Income Security Act, H.R. 4106, designed to improve the formula used to allocate benefits and compensation to Gold Star Families -- the family members of deceased service members: “When a service member is laid to rest for their sacrifice to our country, the very least we can do as a nation is to ensure the financial stability of their loved ones,” said Rosen. “By increasing payments to Gold Star Families and securing their access to benefits, we can honor and comfort the surviving spouses and children of fallen service members. I am proud to work with Congresswoman Shea-Porter on this legislation and will continue to honor service members and their families and work to help them obtain their much-deserved benefits and resources.” BACKGROUND: Introduced earlier this week, H.R. 4106 would improve “dependency and indemnity compensation” (DIC), which is a payment made to the surviving dependents of either a deceased active duty service member, retired military member who has died from a service-connected cause, or a veteran who was rated 100% disabled for a period of ten years prior to a death, not caused by their service-connected condition. The Surviving Spouses Income Security Act creates a new Dependents and Survivors Income Security (DSIS) benefit, equal to 55% of the rate of compensation for a veteran with a 100% service-connected disability. Currently, DIC to military families is not equivalent to that paid to surviving family members of civilian federal employees who are killed while performing their duties, and this bill would more closely align these benefits. According to the U.S. Department of Veteran Affairs, 3,662 Nevadans are beneficiaries of the VA Dependency and Indemnity Compensation Benefit, which is paid to Gold Star Families, surviving spouses and family members of veterans who pass away as a result of their service-c… | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | ||

Dina Titus of Nevada’s First Congressional District released the following statement after the House GOP narrowly passed its FY18 Budget Resolution, H. Con. Res. 71, a roadmap to providing billionaires a massive tax cut at the expense of working families. “Republicans claim they want to advance tax reform to help the middle class, but this budget does the opposite. The budget blueprint passed today supports cuts to Pell Grants and student loan programs. It continues the assault on health care by slashing Medicare and Medicaid by a combined $1.47 trillion over ten years while prolonging the failed Republican pursuit of repealing the Affordable Care Act. It cuts $653 billion from social safety net programs like SNAP, TANF, and SSI. The resolution also threatens our environmental health by fast-tracking consideration of legislation to allow drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. Lastly, this budget highlights Republican hypocrisy, raising the deficit by $1.5 trillion over 10 years and paving the way for a rigged tax plan that gives the top one percent of earners 80 percent of the tax cuts while increasing taxes for 47 million others. Once again, we see how Republican talking points and policies don’t add up for the American people.” OVERVIEW OF THE BUDGET RESOLUTION Enabling Enactment of Ryan- McConnell Tax Plan, Paid for by the Middle Class Raises Taxes on Middle Class Families, While Giving Deficit-Exploding, Multi-Trillion Dollar Tax Breaks for the Wealthiest: Raises Taxes on Middle Class Families.

This means condemning bad state actors when they threaten our national security and global safety. As a member of the House Armed Services Committee, I will continue to prioritize our national security by rooting out terrorist organizations that threaten global stability and holding state sponsors of terrorism accountable for their malicious actions.” BACKGROUND: H.R.1698 -- The bipartisan Iran Ballistic Missiles and International Sanctions Enforcement Act, co-sponsored by Rep. Rosen and over 300 of her colleagues, would authorize the Administration to hold Iran accountable for its illicit ballistic missile program and to impose sanctions on entities that supply the regime with ballistic missile technologies.

Res 71, which narrowly passed the House by a vote of 216 to 212, with 20 Republicans voting against the resolution. “I’m deeply disappointed to see Republican leadership force through this budget that will hurt Nevada’s middle class families,” said Rosen. “This partisan legislation supports deep cuts to vital educational programs including Pell Grants and student loan assistance that help Nevada families cover rising tuition costs. This spending plan also undermines any attempt for Democrats to work with Republicans to protect our health care system, proposing to slash Medicare and Medicaid by a combined $1.5 trillion over the next decade. I will continue to speak out to protect funding for these important federal programs, and I will work in a bipartisan fashion to advocate for policies that help improve the lives of Nevada’s working families.” BACKGROUND: Health Care Medicare: The GOP budget proposes slashing Medicare by $473 billion over 10 years, undermining American seniors’ health security. Medicaid: The GOP budget contains plans to make devastating cuts to Medicaid, slashing it by $1 trillion over the next 10 years. Educational Programs Higher Education: The GOP budget proposes slashing Pell Grants by more than $100 Billion, making college less affordable for nearly 8 million working-class students. Head Start: The GOP budget supports eliminating Head Start services for 25,000 children in an average year by cutting the program by $3 billion. ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | ||

Birth control medication is not controversial, and it is often used for numerous health reasons other than preventing pregnancy. Letting employers get in between women and their doctors when making decisions about contraception is a step in the wrong direction, and I will not stand for these political attacks on women’s health.” BACKGROUND: Congresswoman Rosen is a co-sponsor of the Protect Access to Birth Control Act (H.R. 4082), which was introduced last week to block the President’s recent unilateral actions and safeguard women’s access to birth control. The two interim final rules issued this month by the Trump Administration would allow nearly any employer to be exempt from the requirement to cover birth control and other forms of contraception without cost-sharing. The Protect Access to Birth Control Act would treat these rules as though they had never taken effect, thereby securing the right to birth control coverage as guaranteed by the Affordable Care Act.

View Text of the letter here. “The irresponsible failure to reauthorize funding for the Children’s Health Insurance Program has left Nevada scrambling to figure out how to maintain coverage for tens of thousands of our most vulnerable children,” said Rosen. “If Congress fails to act, families in my district could start receiving notice of their health coverage being terminated as early as this month. It's time for Speaker Ryan and Republicans in Congress to set politics aside and put our kids first by working with Democrats to immediately renew funding for this critical program.” BACKGROUND: The Children’s Health Insurance Program was first signed into law in 1997 and provides federal matching funds to states to provide health coverage to children in families who don't qualify for Medicaid but can't afford private coverage. In Nevada, children living in households with an annual income of up to 200% of the federal poverty level may qualify for coverage through Nevada Check Up. Nearly 69,000 Nevada children receive medical coverage through Nevada Check Up or CHIP. If Congress fails to reauthorize funding, Nevada could run out of funds as soon as next month and may need to freeze enrollment by Nov. 1 and end coverage by Nov. 30. After Friday, the House of Representatives is not scheduled to be back in session until the last week of October. Congresswoman Rosen called on Congress to reauthorize funding for CHIP last month, before the September 30 deadline. Earlier this month, Republicans on the House Energy and Commerce Committee jammed through a partisan CHIP reauthorization that pays for children’s health care by charging seniors higher Medicare premiums and taking money away from the Affordable Care Act.

Kihuen signed on as an original co-sponsor of the State Public Option Act introduced in Congress by Representative Ben Ray Luján (D-NM) and Senator Brian Schatz (D-HI). Rep. Kihuen is joined by Nevada colleagues Rep. Jacky Rosen (NV-03) and Assemblyman Michael Sprinkle in offering support for the State Public Option Act which would give states the option to allow all residents to buy into the state Medicaid program through their state’s exchange. “Nevada’s health care system ranks among the worst in the country in terms of cost and access, leaving countless Nevadans hanging out to dry when it comes to getting reliable and affordable health care coverage. That is why today, I am pleased to join my colleagues in Congress, Representative Ben Ray Luján (D-NM) and Senator Brian Schatz (D-HI) in introducing the State Public Option Act, which would establish a Medicaid public option to provide an affordable, high-quality health insurance option to hardworking families across the country. I am thrilled to have the opportunity to continue working to find ways to improve Nevada’s health care system and ensure that all Nevadans have access to quality and affordable health care coverage,” Rep. Kihuen said. “Giving individuals a public health insurance buy-in option is one of the best ways we can improve our health care system for all Nevadans, no matter your zip code,” said Rosen. “The ability to access quality health care should be a fundamental right, not a privilege for the wealthiest among us. Increasing choice and competition through a Medicaid buy-in program would ensure that all families have access to health care they know they can rely on.

According to the independent budget analysts, this bipartisan legislation would cut the federal deficit by $3.8 billion while keeping coverage stable. “With President Trump purposefully working to undermine our nation’s health care system, Democrats and Republicans in Congress must take it upon ourselves to work with each other to stabilize health care markets,” said Rosen. “The CBO's nonpartisan analysis reaffirms why this bipartisan health care agreement is the right way forward -- this legislation will help keep coverage affordable for hardworking Nevada families while reducing the deficit. This deal is our best path forward right now to prevent our health care system from unraveling and protect affordable health care for Nevada families. I urge Republican leaders in Washington to put partisan politics and ideological differences aside so we can focus on protecting health care for millions of Americans.” ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | ||

Dina Titus of Nevada’s First Congressional District co-sponsored the Medicaid Public Option Act, legislation to give states the ability to allow residents to buy into Medicaid programs on state exchanges. “While Republicans continue to disrupt the health care sector by manufacturing chaos and rattling insurance markets, this legislation serves as one of many options to provide Nevadans with affordable and accessible health care options. Along with Medicare For All legislation and measures to lower prescription drug costs for Americans, I will continue to fight for health care options to provide choices, stability, and access to quality care for Nevadans.” Background: The Medicaid Public Option Act would give states the option to allow (but would not require) all state residents who are not concurrently enrolled in another insurance plan to buy into the state Medicaid program through their state’s Exchange. States could charge premiums, copays, and deductibles for the plans based on current Affordable Care Act (ACA) standards. Individuals would be able to use their ACA tax credits to help cover the costs. If they do not have tax credits, the cost could not exceed 9.5% of the family income. The plans offered must be robust and cover the ACA’s 10 Essential Health Benefits. The legislation is similar to “Sprinklecare” (AB 374), a bill introduced by Democratic Assemblyman Mike Sprinkle in the Nevada Legislature in 2017. | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | ||

Watch the video here. “Congressional Republicans and the NRA signaled support of action on bump stocks in the wake of the 1 October tragedy,” said Congresswoman Dina Titus. “But since then, their hopeful and sympathetic tone has morphed into radio silence. We cannot ignore the fact that if we don’t act soon, we risk jeopardizing more innocent lives.” “Machine guns were outlawed for a reason and devices that turn a firearm into machine guns should be outlawed as well,” added Congresswoman Kelly. In the days following the Las Vegas tragedy, legislation was introduced to prohibit the manufacturing, possession or transfer of “bump stocks.” It seemed that bump stock legislation was likely to be the first common sense gun safety proposal to receive a vote since Republicans took control of the House in 2010. However, a recent change of heart from the NRA has ground the legislative process to a halt on such life-saving measures. Following their speeches, Congresswoman Titus read the names of the 58 Las Vegas victims into the Congressional Record. These names add to the 150 already read into the Congressional Record by Congresswoman Kelly following her pledge to read one name into the Record for every dollar Speaker Paul Ryan took from the NRA during the 2016 election cycle. | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | ||

Dina Titus of Nevada’s First Congressional District joined 24 of her colleagues to send a letter to the Senate and House Committees on Armed Services in support of the Work for Warriors job placement program in the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) of Fiscal Year 2018. Nevada, California, Washington, and South Carolina currently have Work for Warriors and similar programs to help match qualified, unemployed Guardsmen, Reservists, military spouses, and veterans with open positions in partnering businesses. Nevada’s Work for Warriors program helped more than 565 residents find meaningful employment in 2015-2016. The House passed the NDAA spending authorization in July with a provision to fund a pilot program to provide federal dollars for existing Work for Warriors programs and to create new ones across the country. The Senate passed its NDAA authorization without providing a provision for the Work for Warriors programs. Lawmakers must now work to add a provision to the bill in the conference committee to bolster funding for Nevada and other states. “With a proven track record in the West, Work for Warriors will help our nation’s heroes transition to civilian life and find good jobs so they can apply their training, skills, leadership qualities, and work ethic at local businesses in the community. The ball is in the Conference Committee’s court to ensure there are more opportunities for deserving servicemembers, their spouses, and veterans in Nevada and across the country.” The program is supported by the National Guard Association of the United States (NGAUS), the Enlisted Association of the National Guard of the United States (EANGUS), and the Association of the United States Army (AUSA). The letter is signed by a bipartisan coalition of 25 members: Reps. Pete Aguilar, Ami Bera, Julia Brownley.

Now is the time for Congress to reach across the aisle and work together on smart, viable solutions that address market instability, lower healthcare costs, improve quality of care, and expand coverage for Nevada’s hardworking families.” BACKGROUND: Congresswoman Rosen is a co-sponsor of H.R.3258, the Marketplace Certainty Act, a bill that would immediately address market instability by controlling costs and keeping insurers from exiting the Silver State Exchange. The bill funds cost-sharing reductions provided by the Affordable Care Act, which would help drive down premiums costs to make insurance plans more affordable for consumers. ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | ||

The bill would resurrect Yucca Mountain and make Nevada the nation’s nuclear waste dumping ground. "As highlighted by the Secretary of the Air Force, designating Yucca Mountain as our nation's nuclear waste repository threatens national security by adversely impacting the ability of Nellis Air Force Base to complete its core mission,” said Rosen. “The House Armed Services Committee has a responsibility to intervene to stop this dangerous and misguided legislation from seeing a vote on the House floor. I will continue to fight alongside Nevada's delegation to use every tool at our disposal to stop Yucca Mountain from becoming the nation's dumping ground for nuclear waste.” BACKGROUND: In April, Congresswoman Rosen testified against the Nuclear Waste Policy Amendments Act of 2017 (H.R. 3053) in the House Energy & Commerce Committee’s Subcommittee on the Environment. The Energy & Commerce Committee, which in June passed H.R. 3053, shares jurisdiction over the bill with the House Armed Services Committee. For the bill to come to the House floor for a vote, the Armed Services Committee would either need to vote on the bill itself or provide a jurisdictional waiver. Citing serious national security concerns, including the impact on the Air Force in carrying out its air combat training mission at the Nevada Test and Training Range, Rep. Rosen’s letter urges the Committee Chairman and Ranking Member to maintain the Committee’s jurisdictional authority and not allow H.R. 3053 to move forward.

As a woman who built her career in the male-dominated tech industry, I know that closing the gender gap is critical to ensuring women have a fair shot at success and can fully contribute to our economy that increasingly demands highly-skilled workers.” BACKGROUND: According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, in 2016, women held more than 51 percent of all professional occupations in the United States, but only 26 percent of the computing-related occupations. This disparity can be traced back as early as middle school, where boys are nearly twice as likely as girls to say they plan to learn computer science. H.R. 3316 creates two National Science Foundation grants to research and fund computer science programs that encourage early childhood education in STEM for girls under the age of 11. This bill is endorsed by Common Sense Kids Action and by the Association for Computing Machinery’s Council on Women in Computing (ACM-W), which supports and advocates for the full engagement of women in all aspects of computer science.

Salazar, 202-225-9894 Adrian Boafo Press.Kihuen@mail.house.gov WASHINGTON, D.C – Today, Congressman Ruben J. Kihuen released the statement below following President Trump’s decision to end critical cost-sharing reduction payments that help offset out-of-pocket costs for lower-income Americans. “One thing is clear: President Trump and Washington Republicans are determined to sabotage our country's health care system, regardless of how many people are left without the coverage they desperately need. Unilaterally ending the cost-sharing reduction (CSR) payments will increase premiums and deductibles, driving up out-of-pocket costs for hardworking families across the country. Nevadans could see their premiums spike by 15%, putting the health and financial security of our seniors, veterans, and hardworking families in jeopardy. In the absence of leadership from the Trump Administration, I urge my Republican colleagues to work with Democrats to pass the Marketplace Certainty Act, which would make these CSR payments permanent and help stabilize the healthcare marketplace.” Background: In 2016, more than 50,000 Nevadans benefited from an estimated $35.6 million in CSR payments, helping ensure they had access to affordable healthcare. Republican attempts to sabotage the Affordable Care Act (ACA) have already created instability in the Nevada marketplace. This summer, two health insurers decided to pull out of Nevada’s Silver State Exchange because of repeated attempts from Congressional Republicans to repeal the ACA. Health insurers have made it clear that uncertainty about funding CSR payments is already creating a crisis in the market, leading to fewer choices for consumers and driving up premiums. Earlier this year, Rep. Kihuen cosponsored the Marketplace Certainty Act which would permanently fund CSR subsides, help address market instability and make insurance plans more affordable for Nevadans. | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | ||

The news comes less than 24 hours after President Trump signed another executive order to undermine the Affordable Care Act. Health exchanges in Nevada and across the country will be destabilized without these cost-sharing subsidies, hiking premiums and costs for low-income and working families. “President Trump is making one reckless decision after another in his callousness to sabotage our health care system, and hardworking Nevada families will suffer as a result," said Rosen. "It's disappointing to discover once again that President Trump has no intentions of working across the aisle to improve our health care system. I'm going to continue my work to find common ground in Congress and bring stability back to the health insurance markets and ensure reliable, affordable healthcare for Nevada families." BACKGROUND: Republican attempts to inject partisan chaos and sabotage the Affordable Care Act has created market instability in Nevada. This summer, two health insurance providers decided to pull out of the Silver State Exchange following repeated attempts by Republicans to repeal the Affordable Care Act. In August, Anthem cited market volatility and uncertainty surrounding cost-sharing subsidies as their reasons for exiting the Silver State Exchange.

I have taken a strong stance in holding Iran accountable for its actions and will continue to ensure that we remain vigilant in monitoring the regime’s behavior. “Without providing compelling evidence of a material breach or non-compliance, the President is engaged in a risky policy, which opens the door for our allies and our adversaries to question our posture. The JCPOA was agreed among a wide-ranging number of international partners. Negotiating new terms to the agreement will require international cooperation. “Congress will need to work on holding Iran’s feet to the fire. I will remain committed to neutralizing any effort on behalf of the Iranian regime to acquire nuclear weapons and will work across the aisle in a bipartisan manner for an effective, well-thought out policy that corrects this administration's rudderless approach on foreign policy so that we can reassure the well-warranted concerns of our allies and of the American people.” BACKGROUND: Congresswoman Rosen voted earlier this year in favor of the Countering America’s Adversaries Through Sanctions Act (H.R. 3364) which directs the President to impose sanctions against Iran’s ballistic missile program and its terrorist-supporting Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and allow sanctions for human rights violations. Rosen has also co-sponsored the bipartisan Iran Ballistic Missiles and International Sanctions Enforcement Act (H.R. 1698) and Rep.

While the deal isn’t perfect, Iran can resume production of highly enriched uranium if we withdraw altogether. As a member of the Foreign Affairs Committee, I believe the best course of action for our nation is ensuring that we meet our current obligations and hold Iran accountable. Reneging on this deal will do more harm than good.” | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | ||

Dina Titus of Nevada’s First Congressional District released the following statement after President Donald Trump announced that he will end Cost Sharing Reduction payments for health care plans purchased in health care marketplaces during this year’s open enrollment period. “Trump’s actions will steal some $40 million from Nevada and affect plans for about 60 percent of consumers in the state who buy plans on the exchange and benefit from CSRs. This will upend the lives of sick and at-risk Americans, rattle the nation’s insurance market, and hike the uninsured rate by one million people. Costs to the federal government will skyrocket along with premiums for working families. Trump will now have to own up to his actions when Americans ask why he took away their health care.” | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | ||

Salazar, 202-225-9894 Adrian Boafo Press.Kihuen@mail.house.gov Watch Video WASHINGTON, D.C – Today, Congressman Ruben J. Kihuen spoke on the floor of the U.S House of Representatives to honor victims, first- responders and doctors affected by the Las Vegas shooting on October 1st, 2017. Below are excerpts of his remarks as prepared: “Mr. Speaker, I rise today to speak about the tragedy that happened in my hometown of Las Vegas last Sunday. Last week, a horrific mass shooting took place in the community where I grew up. Immediately when I heard the news on Sunday night, like so many people I felt helpless, and rushed to the hospital to see how I could help. This shooting was the deadliest in modern U.S. history. 58 people have died and over 500 were injured. The 58 victims came from all walks of life. They came to Las Vegas from all over the United States. Some were there to celebrate their birthdays, their favorite country singer, a night out with friends and family, or and even celebrating their wedding anniversaries. Even though these families will never get another Christmas, another Thanksgiving, or another birthday with their loved one, they will never forget them, and we won’t either. As we grieve for those who were killed or injured and pray for their families, I want to recognize the heroes who bravely and selflessly rushed to help. Law enforcement officers and first responders, including some who were off duty and attending the concert, ran toward the gunfire to protect the concertgoers and provide desperately needed care for victims. People at the concert shielded those around them, gave them medical care, and led others to safety – exposing themselves to the hail of bullets while they tried to save others. People driving by used their cars to help take shooting victims to hospitals. The health care professionals – doctors, nurses, support staff, and volunteers have been working around the clock to care for the more than 50… | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
