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Agreement (USMCA) Implementation Act, a bipartisan trade deal negotiated by President Trump to replace the outdated North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) and grow our economy by stimulating more than $68 billion in new economic activity.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

Congressman Mark Amodei (NV-02) released the following statement today ahead of the House's scheduled vote on H. Res. 755, legislation to impeach the President of the United States, for high crimes and misdemeanors: At the beginning of the Ukraine Whistleblower issue, I indicated I would review the allegations and compare them with the facts and the applicable law, rules, and historical precedents. I have done that. We have two Articles of Impeachment: Abuse of Power and Obstruction of Congress. The question when considering the present impeachment vote is: Was the relevant conduct a high crime or misdemeanor? A misdemeanor is not a civil offense. The reference in the Constitution to high crimes' is self-explanatory. Why these words are noteworthy is because the factual proof-standard in criminal matters is: beyond a reasonable doubt. Accordingly, with respect to the first Article of Impeachment, does proof beyond a reasonable doubt exist in the reports of the Intelligence and Judiciary Committees? To be clear, the Constitution uses the word conviction', which is a criminal phrase not a civil litigation term. The majority alleges their allegation is a factual one: That in a July 25, 2019 phone call, in exchange for foreign aid and a presidential meeting, the President solicited the interference of Ukraine in the 2020 U.S. Presidential Election. Specifically, that he wanted a public announcement of Ukrainian investigations into Joseph and Hunter Biden, regarding past official and personal actions, and that such an investigation be conducted. Documentary evidence includes the actual transcript of the Trump-Zelenskyy July 25 phone call. Neither side has questioned the authenticity or accuracy of the document, so as evidentiary value as to who said what during the subject phone conversation, the transcript is uncontroverted.

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

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

However, I'm pleased to report that House and Senate leaders did some quality work in addressing all of those concerns during the conferencing process.

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

Congressman Mark Amodei (NV-02) released the following statement today after voting against H.R. 4863, theUnited States Export Finance Agency Act of 2019: This is not the same bill from four years ago. In 2015, I was proud to join more than 200 of my colleagues in support of Ex-Im Bank reauthorization, because I believe in the Bank's mission to ensure our nation's businesses remain competitive against our foreign challengers. My support for this mission has not wavered. However, what has changed, is my willingness to support legislation that ignores the mission of addressing the structural abuses in China that hinder U.S. competitiveness, like intellectual property theft and illicit technology transfer, which could be aided by Ex-Im financing. I will not ignore these facts to support a foreign government who has done nothing to engender trust. Additionally, today's legislation has no chance in the Senate, and the Administration has come out in opposition because it includes unnecessary provisions, adding excessive costs and bureaucratic reporting requirements to the Bank. Also, by picking winners and losers with regard to its green energy mandate, this legislation potentially places American exporters at a competitive disadvantage against other nations' global export agencies, including those subscribing to the Paris Climate Accord, that may not be required to adhere to the same regulations. While I've always supported a comprehensive energy strategy and Ex-Im's core mission, in its present form, the unnecessary provisions included in this legislation ultimately distract from the Bank's ability to ensure our businesses are able to compete on a level playing field in the global economy. ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | ||

In 2015, I was proud to join more than 200 of my colleagues in support of Ex-Im Bank reauthorization, because I believe in the Bank’s mission to ensure our nation’s businesses remain competitive against our foreign challengers. My support for this mission has not wavered. However, what has changed, is my willingness to support legislation that ignores the mission of addressing the structural abuses in China that hinder U.S. competitiveness, like intellectual property theft and illicit technology transfer, which could be aided by Ex-Im financing. I will not ignore these facts to support a foreign government who has done nothing to engender trust. “Additionally, today’s legislation has no chance in the Senate, and the Administration has come out in opposition because it includes unnecessary provisions, adding excessive costs and bureaucratic reporting requirements to the Bank.

Congressman Mark Amodei (NV-02) released the following statement today after voting against H.Res.660, a resolution directing certain House committees to continue their ongoing investigations as part of Speaker Pelosi's existing impeachment inquiry against President Trump: It's business as usual here in Washington based on the last five weeks of closed-door hearings that have been conducted with little inclusion of the minority. Chairman Schiff will continue along, and eventually, we'll get a chance to see what several months' worth of the latest obsession to oust the President produces.

Meaning, it should come as no surprise that Speaker Pelosi's minions will complete the tasks they've been assigned by their partisan bosses. The only question is, what will the articles of impeachment look like with no diversity in authorship? Since this process has been completely political, it will be interesting to see if the Speaker's voting mandates to her caucus will hold after we get a look at the actual articles, which by the way, will have been generated without any input from 75% of Members in the House thereby denying 230 million Americans a voice in the process.

Today, U.S. Reps. Mark E. Amodei (R-NV-02) and Bill Pascrell, Jr. (D-NJ-09), co-chairs of the Congressional Italian-American Delegation, sent a letterto Donald Trump requesting a Presidential Proclamation of October as Italian-American Heritage Month. Amodei and Pascrell coupled their request with the introduction of a resolutionin the House of Representatives to establish October as Italian and Italian-American Heritage Month. As an Italian-American, I have always been extremely proud of my heritage, and equally proud of the significant contributions my Italian forebears have made to our country, said Rep. Amodei. My Italian roots run deep. My father's grandmother is from Ognio, which is 40 miles East of Genoa, his grandfather is from Santa Maria Majorio, which is near the Swiss border, and my mother's father is a Longero from Southern Italy so we've pretty much got the country bracketed with relatives. Growing up, I remember many celebrations around this time of year where my family got together to pay tribute to our heritage. With this month being especially significant for Italian-Americans, I'm proud to once again join Chairman Pascrell in requesting a Presidential Proclamation recognizing October as Italian-American Heritage Month. As co-chair of the Italian-American Caucus, I will continue supporting measures which highlight all that binds our countries together culturally, commercially, and strategically. Italian-Americans are an integral part of our nation's diverse cultural makeup. Establishing a month in honor of our people's myriad contributions to the United States is the least we can do, said Rep. Pascrell, a descendent of Italian immigrants.

Congressman Mark Amodei (NV-02) today released the following statement in support of congressional oversight into House Democrats' inquiry into impeachment: I held a 40 minute telephone press conference today with Nevada media outlets to respond to their questions about the impeachment inquiry made by Speaker Pelosi earlier this week, said Congressman Amodei. Following that call, Nevada Independent reporter Humberto Sanchez released an article. The first paragraph of Mr. Sanchez's article reads: Rep.Mark Amodeisupports the House's inquiry into whether President Donald Trump should be impeached, but is withholding judgment on whether Trump has crossed the legal line.' This is absolutely an accurate statement in the sense that the House and Senate have both unanimously supported the resolution expressing the sense of Congress that the whistleblower complaint received on August 12, 2019, by the Inspector General of the Intelligence Community, should be transmitted immediately to the Select Committee on Intelligence of the Senate and the Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence of the House of Representatives. It is also accurate that the White House supports this same resolution. In no way, shape, or form, did I indicate support for impeachment. Rather, I stressed my complete agreement with Senator Cortez-Masto's (D-NV) statement reported to KTVN Channel 2 from yesterday which is as follows: I think from all of that information, we have to follow the facts and figure out what happened here,'Cortez-Masto said. Anyone who reads Mr. Sanchez's article and thinks that somehow there is a vote to convict before the process has played out as called for by the resolution unanimously supported by everyone concerned is simply, individual fantasy. I now have a full appreciation of how the President feels. Have a nice weekend. ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | ||

Congressman Mark Amodei (NV-02) released the following statement today after the House successfully passed H.R. 1595, the SAFE Banking Act of 2019, legislation that would align state and federal marijuana banking laws to grant state-licensed cannabis businesses access to the federal banking system. This legislation is supported by all of Nevada's Representatives in the House, and its Senate companion bill (S. 1200) is supported by both of Nevada's Senators. While current federal law forces legal cannabis-related businesses to operate on a cash basis, the same federal implications do not exist for cities, counties, and states looking to also deposit cash from legal cannabis transactions into the federal banking system. Meaning, state and local governments can show up to the bank with all the cash they want and there are no questions asked. In my opinion, it's the height of hypocrisy for the federal government to accept tax money from cannabis-related businesses in Nevada, while at the same time, banning them access to the banking system. Additionally, being forced to operate exclusively on a cash basis, not only makes businesses soft targets for criminal activity, but it prevents the proper enforcement of billions of dollars in revenues for regulatory compliance purposes. By allowing state-licensed cannabis businesses access to the federal banking system, this legislation will protect public safety while also allowing law enforcement officials and financial regulators to properly monitor legal cannabis transactions. ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | ||

In celebration of the newly constructed entrance to Reno's Grand Army of the Republic (GAR) Cemetery, Congressman Mark Amodei (NV-02), in partnership with the Nevada Chapter of the Associated General Contractors (AGC) and its members, will be hosting a ribbon cutting ceremony on Friday, May 24 at 11:00 A.M. P.T. at the GAR Cemetery located at 10th and Angel Streets in Reno. Originally purchased in 1890 for $180 in gold coin by the General O.M. Mitchel Post No. 69, the GAR Cemetery is Nevada's only Civil War veterans cemetery and the final resting place to 82Civil War veterans and their family members. While the cemetery was well-maintained into the early 20th century, decades of neglect and vandalism have taken their toll. Throughout the years, efforts have been made to maintain the grounds, including fully enclosing the property with a chain link fence to help protect the grave sites, but ultimately, the grounds did not properly honor this group of veterans and their families. These veterans deserve a resting place that appropriately reflects our appreciation for their sacrifice, said Congressman Amodei. Although the entrance is just the beginning of this project, it's the first step toward making the cemetery befitting of these war heroes and their families. I'm pleased to be teaming up with the Nevada AGC in this effort, and thankful for everything they have donated to get this project off the ground. Together, we've been able to shine the spotlight on a significant part of American history while honoring these service members with the respect they deserve. When Congressman Amodei reached out to see if we could help with this project, our members knew right away this was how they wanted to commemorate the 80th anniversary of the founding of our chapter, said Craig Madole, CEO of the Nevada AGC. We have veterans from all branches of the military who belong to the AGC, so honoring those who served in the Civil War was something meaningful t… | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | ||

Congressman Mark Amodei (NV-02) released the below statement following his reintroduction of the National Strategic and Critical Minerals Production Act (H.R. 2531) Tuesday, legislation that will streamline the mining permitting process to end our present reliance on foreign sources of minerals that are critically important to our economy and national defense: Critical and strategic minerals are essential to the technologies, products, and infrastructure that make our daily lives work. Unfortunately, when it comes to mining critical and strategic minerals in America, duplicative regulations and bureaucratic inefficiencies have forced us to rely on foreign adversaries and competitors for critical minerals, a dependency that threatens the security of our nation and economy. Permitting delays stand in the way of high-paying jobs and revenue for local, often rural, communities. In fact, since the 1990's, mineral exploration has stagnated and even declined in some cases because regulatory changes have caused the permit approvals process to take as long as ten years. The bill I introduced will decrease our dependency on foreign sources of minerals by streamlining the permitting process, allowing us to leverage our nation's vast mineral resources while paying respect to economic, national security, and environmental concerns. This common-sense legislation has already passed the House the last four Congresses and will not change any environmental regulations, protections, or opportunity for public input. I'm pleased to have several of my House colleagues join me in introducing this bill and look forward to working together to modernize the outdated, job-crushing policies that are hamstringing our economy and jeopardizing our national security. ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | ||

We must realize the reality of our current situation," said Rep. Amodei. With a divided Congress, there is never going to be a silver bullet fix that appeases all sides.

While there is still more work to be done when it comes to addressing the crisis at our southern border, this legislation continues the precedent set last year in strengthening our ability to protect our homeland.

Congressman Mark Amodei (NV-02) today released the following statement after voting against H.R. 21, Making Appropriations for the Fiscal Year Ending September 30, 2019 and H.J. Res. 1, Making further continuing appropriations for the Department of Homeland Security for fiscal year 2019. H.R. 21 includes a package of Senate-approved appropriations bills for six of the remaining seven appropriations bills Congress failed to pass by the December 21st, 2018 deadline. H.J.Res. 1 would temporarily fund the Department of Homeland Security without allocating any additional funds for border security. We're day one into the 116th Congress and it's Ground Hog Day already, said Congressman Amodei. Per usual, we see no substantive action from the Senate after the federal government has been operating under a partial shutdown for 13 days.House Republicans took care of business nearly two weeks ago, voting to keep the federal government open, secure our borders, and provide relief to areas torn apart by natural disasters. Unfortunately, I cannot say a similar and transparent process took place in the Senate, where its style of legislating, rarely allows constituents to see where their representatives stand on the issue. Now, House Democrats are attempting to hold funding for border security hostage while bringing up a Senate-passed funding package that has not gone through regular order, excludes a number of House-passed priorities, and is already considered dead on arrival. Those House-passed priorities include funding unique to Western states like ours. For instance, the proposal eliminates millions of dollars included in previously House-passed bills for federal agencies to combat devastating wildfires, improve forest health, and promote clean air and water. The Senate should take ownership and provide their rationale for omitting Western funding priorities, instead of allowing the House-passed amounts to just mysteriously vaporize.
