Amodei | A000369 | amodei.house.gov | amodei | https://amodei.house.gov/news-releases | scraper | WASHINGTON, D.C. – Congressman Mark Amodei (NV-02) released the following statement on the upcoming vote for House speaker. “As the only Republican voice from Nevada in Washington, DC, I feel an additional responsibility in carrying awareness for Nevada issues. Representative Mike Johnson (R-LA) and I haven’t crossed paths much during our shared time in Congress, and things were moving at such breakneck speed during our Conference meeting last night, I didn’t want to throw blind support behind anyone. I wanted the opportunity to discuss issues important to Nevadans, like the Clark County and Northern Nevada lands bills, Union Pacific issues, and acquiring C-130J planes for the Nevada National Guard, among others, which is why I voted present. “Shortly after the Conference meeting adjourned, I got a call from Majority Leader Steve Scalise, and we talked through my concerns. Following my discussion with Mr. Scalise, I got a call from Speaker-designate Johnson, and we talked for half an hour about his experience with issues important to Nevada, as well as other national policy priorities. I wanted to make sure he and his staff were aware of issues important to Nevadans, and in turn was given direct access to key staff members who handle these topics. I was able to have a conversation with Mr. Johnson’s Chief of Staff this morning about specific legislation I’m working on and left the conversation pleased. “I appreciate the timeliness of Mr. Johnson’s response to my questions, and following my discussions with him and his staff, have confidence in his awareness and support of Nevada priorities. I look forward to voting in favor of his nomination on the House floor.” | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-08T00:49:26Z |

Amodei | A000369 | amodei.house.gov | amodei | https://amodei.house.gov/news-releases | scraper | WASHINGTON, D.C. – Congressman Mark Amodei (NV-02) released the following statement on the continued race for House speaker. “On October 3rd, eight Republican malcontents sided with every single House Democrat to plunge us into chaos and paralyze legislative business. For nearly three weeks, party infighting has taken precedence over our legislative priorities and brought the appropriations process to a screeching halt. The absence of a functioning House comes at a time of great urgency – the government runs out of funding in 28 days, Israel was attacked by Hamas terrorists, the southern border is a security and humanitarian crisis – and this absurd stalemate has put us in a weakened position. No less, any issue important to Nevadans remains at an absolute impasse. “I have supported every nominee the Republican Conference has put forward for speaker in the 118th – Kevin McCarthy, Steve Scalise, and Jim Jordan. Unfortunately, after multiple rounds of voting, we have still been unable to elect a speaker. It is time to put the bickering and scare tactics aside and prove to the American people we can govern effectively and responsibly. I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again – this period of dysfunction only empowers Democrats. If we don’t get our act together, we’ll be fighting about who should be the Republican Minority Leader, not speaker. “The Republican Conference is scheduled to host a forum next Monday, where we will hear from candidates about their visions and qualifications for the role of speaker. For those who think Members are going home over the weekend to work on their golf game or have a spa day, I assure you that is not the case. The next 48 hours will be like drinking from a fire hose, with candidates reaching out and jostling for support. Taking a couple of days to hear from and evaluate potential candidates before the Conference votes on the next speaker-designee is – in my view – the responsible thing to do. I also believe it’s a responsible expectation that the Conference coalesce and final… | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-08T00:49:26Z |

Amodei | A000369 | amodei.house.gov | amodei | https://amodei.house.gov/news-releases | scraper | WASHINGTON, D.C. – Congressman Mark Amodei (NV-02) released the following statement on the race for House speaker. “Following Kevin McCarthy’s removal as speaker and his announcement that he will not run again, the House is tasked with electing a new speaker. The Republican Conference is scheduled to hold a candidate forum next Tuesday, where potential candidates will have the opportunity to present their vision and qualifications for the role of speaker, followed by an election to determine who our nominee will be. Once both parties have designated their nominees, the House will vote to elect a new speaker. “The next week will be full of jostling between candidates and speculation on who will be able to receive the 218 votes necessary to be elected speaker. For those interested in who I will choose to support, my decision will be informed by the discussions I have in the coming days. I urge any candidate for speaker looking for my support to commit to delivering results for Nevada, including ensuring all Nevada lands bills are made a priority and advanced to the floor. “I’d also be interested to know about candidates’ willingness to change the motion to vacate rule to require a larger consensus before it can be brought to the House floor for a vote, because the current rule – which allows a single person to blow up regular order and bring up a motion to vacate the speaker – is untenable. If something doesn’t change, we’ll be spinning the wheels here for the next 15 months every time someone decides they disagree with the speaker or need to juice their fundraising numbers. “I look forward to supporting a speaker who will provide aggressive oversight of the executive branch and get us back to the work of governing.” | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-08T00:49:26Z |

Amodei | A000369 | amodei.house.gov | amodei | https://amodei.house.gov/news-releases | scraper | WASHINGTON, D.C. – Congressman Mark Amodei (NV-02) released the following statement after voting against the motion to vacate Speaker Kevin McCarthy. “Today, the House voted on a motion to vacate Speaker Kevin McCarthy. Following his ousting, Representative Patrick McHenry (R-NC-10) was appointed speaker pro tempore of the U.S. House of Representatives. He was picked from a list of five names designated by Mr. McCarthy and shared with the House Clerk as a part of continuity of government procedures enacted after the 9/11 terrorist attacks. This list was created by Mr. McCarthy after he was elected speaker earlier this year and was only made public following the event of a vacancy. From there, the House immediately recessed, and each party entered closed-door meetings to designate a nominee for speaker. "Until we have a duly elected speaker, all legislative activity before the House ceases. This prevents us from doing the business of actual governing – including working to fully fund the government before the November 17th deadline. Americans know the crisis at the border, rampant inflation, and spiking crime are a result of Democrats’ liberal policies. The fact is, eight House Republicans chose to vote with every single House Democrat to shut down legislative business, focus on fundraising, and pander to media producers. While we can argue about our own definitions of conservatism, this degradation of the only conservative outpost in the entire federal government was brought about by just 3% of the Republican Conference. "A fair question is – where do we go now? If you heard a plan during this wholesale assault on the House GOP majority, please share it with me because I heard nothing of the sort. Once again, 97% of the Republican Conference is left to pick up the pieces, just the same as we did last January. | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-08T00:49:26Z |

Amodei | A000369 | amodei.house.gov | amodei | https://amodei.house.gov/news-releases | scraper | WASHINGTON, D.C. – Congressman Mark Amodei (NV-02) released the following statement after voting in favor of the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for Fiscal Year 2024. “The threat posed by the Chinese Communist Party is one of the most serious national security challenges facing our nation, which is why I am proud that this year’s NDAA is heavily focused on preventing Chinese aggression. “This NDAA will deter China by building a stronger and more capable missile defense, increasing funding for new technologies like AI and hypersonics to give us the advantage in any conflict, protecting U.S. military bases and other critical infrastructure from espionage, strengthening our security partnerships with Taiwan and other Pacific allies, and preventing the Biden Administration from reducing the size of the Navy. “Not only will this NDAA give the military the funding and resources necessary to keep America safe from our adversaries, but it will provide our service members with a 5.2% pay increase - the largest pay increase in 20 years. This pay raise along with other provisions to reduce out-of-pocket housing costs, improve access to healthcare, and continue the ban on COVID-19 vaccine mandates will be welcome news for our service members and their families. “And last but not least, with the inclusion of my amendment to support the Air Force’s training and communication capabilities at the Nevada Test and Training Range, this NDAA will ensure Nevadans continue to play an important role in our national defense. “The number one role of the federal government is to provide for our national defense, and with today’s passage of the NDAA, we are honoring that commitment. I was proud to support it.” To read the full text of the FY24 National Defense Authorization Act, click here. ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-08T00:18:03Z |

Amodei | A000369 | amodei.house.gov | amodei | https://amodei.house.gov/news-releases | scraper | WASHINGTON, D.C. – Congressman Mark Amodei (NV-02) made the following statement after the Supreme Court ruled against President Biden’s plan to forgive $430 billion in student loans. “Today, the Supreme Court made the correct decision. President Biden never had the legal authority to unilaterally ‘forgive’ student loan debt, and attempting to do so was nothing more than a desperate political stunt to buy votes during a midterm year. “The truth is that student loan debt cannot be canceled, only transferred from those who borrowed to those who did not. Americans who didn’t attend college, went to a trade school, or worked hard to pay off their student loan debt should not be forced to bail out those who haven’t yet paid back their loans. Not only would this be patently unfair, but it would only further fan the flames of inflation. “If this Administration truly wants to help Americans, they should begin working with Congress on solutions to reduce the cost of higher education, energize the economy, and create high-paying jobs.” ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-08T00:08:25Z |

Amodei | A000369 | amodei.house.gov | amodei | https://amodei.house.gov/news-releases | scraper | WASHINGTON, D.C. – Congressman Mark Amodei (NV-02) introduced legislation to reverse the Department of the Interior’s recent withdrawal of 22,684 acres of Bureau of Land Management land in the Railroad Valley of Nye County, Nevada, from all forms of mineral development. He also introduced a House Resolution to disapprove of the withdrawal. Of this legislation, Amodei stated, “Railroad Valley is home to an abundance of critical minerals that can help boost the American economy, strengthen domestic supply chains, and reduce our dependence on foreign adversaries. That’s why it was especially disappointing that the Administration opted to close the door on this mineral development by approving NASA’s unreasonable demand for exclusive control over the playa in Railroad Valley- even though NASA’s mission in the area would not be impacted by these proposed mining projects. “Further, as the lead agency in the withdrawal application, NASA refused to allow Nye County to participate in the NEPA process as a cooperating agency. The fact that NASA so strongly resisted the local authorities having a formal seat at the table demonstrates the height of bureaucratic arrogance. “And what about lithium? It is supposedly a goal of the Biden Administration to boost the development of renewable energy technology and reduce carbon in our atmosphere, yet they support blocking a project to develop the lithium necessary for their clean energy objectives before it could even go through the NEPA process. This is a prime example of this Administration saying one thing and then doing the exact opposite. “This mineral withdrawal goes directly against America’s economic and national security needs, so I urge my Congressional colleagues to support my legislation to roll back this misguided withdrawal.” Full text of the legislation can be found here.

Amodei | A000369 | amodei.house.gov | amodei | https://amodei.house.gov/news-releases | scraper | WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, U.S. Representatives Mark Amodei (R-NV-02) and Lizzie Fletcher (D-TX-07) announced the launch of the ‘American Canadian Economy and Security (ACES) Caucus,’ a bipartisan coalition dedicated to advancing policies that strengthen the economic and security relationship between the United States and Canada. “Together, the United States and Canada have built a close and enduring partnership that benefits both nations,” said Representative Mark Amodei. “The economies of our two countries are closely intertwined, with billions of dollars’ worth of goods traded across the border every day. On top of that, we are bonded together by our shared national security interests, which include the defense of North America. As the co-chair of the new ACES Caucus, I am dedicated to advancing solutions that support and strengthen this important bilateral relationship for generations to come.” “For more than a century, the United States and Canada have maintained a close partnership built on a foundation of shared democratic values,” said Representative Lizzie Fletcher. “Our strong cross-border trade, integrated economies, and national security interests are important drivers for our countries, which is why I am glad to launch the ACES Caucus with Congressman Amodei. I look forward to working together with our colleagues to strengthen economic and security ties between the United States and Canada.” “Thank you Congressman Mark Amodei and Congresswoman Lizzie Fletcher for your leadership on this initiative. Founded on the millions of people-to-people connections, the unique partnership between the United States and Canada is far-reaching and felt in every state and congressional district across the United States,” said Kirsten Hillman, Ambassador of Canada to the United States. “This bipartisan Caucus carves out a space for members of Congress to highlight the importance of this deep and historic partnership, from our integrated economies to our robust defence collaboration and beyond.

Amodei | A000369 | amodei.house.gov | amodei | https://amodei.house.gov/news-releases | scraper | WASHINGTON, D.C. – Congressman Mark Amodei (NV-02) made the following statement after voting for the Fiscal Responsibility Act, legislation that will responsibly raise the debt ceiling into 2025, all while enacting provisions to limit Washington’s irresponsible spending. “I voted to support the Fiscal Responsibility Act because it does what is possible in a divided government to stop the out-of-control spending that has plagued Washington for far too long. It also secures a variety of historic wins that will help create a better future for the American people, many of which would have never seen the President’s desk as standalone pieces of legislation. “Keep in mind, it was just a few weeks ago when President Biden was refusing to negotiate a deal on the debt ceiling. By passing our original debt ceiling bill – the Limit, Save, Grow Act – we were ultimately able to force the President to join us at the negotiating table and finally come to an agreement. “The Fiscal Responsibility Act is a major win for the American people, especially when the alternatives are a clean debt ceiling lift or defaulting on our obligations. No less, the bottom line is, allowing us to go past the debt ceiling deadline would create catastrophic consequences – including strategic weakness, economic weakness, inflationary weakness, and would immediately put Social Security and other entitlement benefits at risk. “Absolutely no disrespect to my colleagues who voted against this bill, but I don’t believe they are looking at the big picture. I also would have liked to pass bigger spending cuts, but the fact is that Republicans only narrowly control one-third of this process. We may wish that we weren’t dealing with President Biden in the White House or a Democrat majority in the Senate, but that is our current reality, and this legislation is what we can get signed into law. Remember, the best way to get more spending cuts in the future is to elect a new president in 2024. “I know there will be conservative opposition to my vote.

Amodei | A000369 | amodei.house.gov | amodei | https://amodei.house.gov/news-releases | scraper | WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, Congressman Mark Amodei (NV-02), Chairman of the House Appropriations Legislative Branch Subcommittee, made the following statement after leading the subcommittee markup of the FY24 Legislative Branch funding bill. “It is an exciting responsibility to be one of the first to move out of the queue on the opening day of this entire appropriations process. This bill reflects the acknowledgement that the Legislative Branch must act as an example for fiscal restraint while serving as an essential branch of government that is accessible to the American people. “It provides adequate resources to ensure Members of Congress can effectively serve their constituents and maintains funding for House Committees to make certain that essential oversight responsibilities are upheld - which is more important than ever with President Biden in the White House. “And with the Capitol complex finally open to the public along with the heightened threats on Members and Congressional staff, the mission of our Capitol Police has never been more in focus. With that said, I am proud that this bill also increases funding to help the Capitol Police recruit, train, and retain officers. I am grateful to my colleagues on the subcommittee for engaging in frank and transparent conversations during today’s markup, and I look forward to seeing this bill make its way through the entire process.” This bill includes $5.313 billion in discretionary appropriations to fund the offices of the House of Representatives and joint legislative branch items, a 4.5% decrease from the FY23 enacted level. Breakdown of the Bill: Provides $1.851 billion for operations of the House of Representatives, which is $3.4 million more than FY23 and $51.8 million less than the FY24 request. Provides $780.9 million for U.S. Capitol Police, which is $46.3 million more than FY23.

However, thanks to President Biden’s open-border policies, the situation at our southern border has become a humanitarian and national security crisis. And with Title 42 ending today, this crisis is about to go from bad to worse. “That’s why I was proud to support the Secure the Border Act, legislation that offers commonsense solutions to restore sanity and security at the border. For years, I have been talking about the need to pass comprehensive border security legislation and I am happy that House Republicans delivered. “Instead of working with Congress to address this crisis, the President has already stated that he will veto this bill should it reach his desk. He would have you believe that his inaction is the more compassionate solution. This is wrong and dangerous. “It is not compassionate to ignore the large amounts of drugs coming through the border and killing Americans. It is not compassionate to embolden desperate migrants to make a journey where they could be raped or killed. And it is not compassionate to neglect the needs of law enforcement patrolling the border – most of whom are overwhelmed and stretched to their limit. “I urge the President to change course and get behind this legislation because failure to act will continue to be catastrophic.” H.R. 2 will do the following: | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-07T23:55:44Z |

Additionally, this bill designates nearly 150,000 acres of wilderness in northern Nevada and removes the possibility of oil and gas leasing in over 300,000 acres of the Ruby Mountains of Elko County. This represents over 450,000 acres of land given conservation protections, compared to the less than 40,000 acres identified for development. Of this legislation, Amodei said, “In Nevada, everybody recognizes the importance of striking the right balance between our state’s development and conservation needs. The Northern Nevada Economic Development and Conservation Act does just that and I’m grateful to the city and county officials, business leaders, and others with boots on the ground who provided the input necessary to craft this critical legislation. I remain committed to seeing it pass the House this year, which will hopefully give the Senate enough time to do its job.” The full text of the bill can be found here.

Amodei | A000369 | amodei.house.gov | amodei | https://amodei.house.gov/news-releases | scraper | WASHINGTON, D.C. – Congressman Mark Amodei (NV-02) made the following statement after voting for the Limit, Save, Grow Act of 2023, legislation to lift the debt ceiling into next year as well as limit Washington’s irresponsible spending, save taxpayer dollars, and grow the economy. “Our national debt is at an all-time high, exacerbated by two years of the President’s reckless spending sprees. We are now faced with the following choice: kick the can further down the road at the expense of future generations or make smart financial decisions now. I choose now. “As a fiscal conservative, I believe that raising the debt ceiling must be done in conjunction with measures to cut political agenda spending. That’s why I am pleased to support the first step in returning to sanity - legislation that will limit spending, save taxpayers trillions of dollars, grow our economy, and lift the debt limit into next year. “As usual, rather than working with the House majority on a reasonable solution to our nation’s debt crisis, President Biden’s handlers along with Senator Schumer have demanded that Congress raise the debt ceiling without implementing any changes to how the government spends and borrows trillions of dollars. “The status quo is unreasonable and irresponsible. An increase in the debt limit without spending controls would only schedule another debt crisis on the American people’s calendar. “Now that the House majority has delivered on responsible debt ceiling legislation, it’s time for Senator Schumer and President Biden to put partisan brinkmanship aside and act like political adults instead of playground rock throwers.” The Limit, Save, and Grow Act includes the following provisions: Return FY24 non-defense discretionary spending to FY22 levels. Rescind unspent COVID money. Prohibit Biden’s student loan forgiveness proposal. Repeal some ‘Green New Deal’ tax credits.

Amodei | A000369 | amodei.house.gov | amodei | https://amodei.house.gov/news-releases | scraper | WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Representative Mark Amodei (NV-02) today issued the following statement after voting for H.R. 1, the Lower Energy Costs Act: “Our nation is blessed with an abundance of natural resources that can meet our energy needs. Yet, President Biden has waged an all-out war on American energy by issuing executive orders and supporting policies that undermine domestic energy and mineral production all while making us dangerously reliant on foreign adversaries. Make no mistake, the Biden Administration is directly to blame for Americans’ pain at the pump and the country’s ongoing energy crisis. “When Republicans took the House majority, we promised the American people that we would pass comprehensive legislation to lower costs and unleash American energy independence, and today, we made good on that promise. The Lower Energy Costs Act includes provisions that will increase domestic energy production, reform the permitting process for all industries, reverse anti-energy policies advanced by the Biden Administration, streamline energy infrastructure and exports, and boost the production and processing of critical minerals. “Nevada is poised to serve our nation by delivering the lithium necessary for renewable energies, and I’m especially excited that this legislation will streamline the burdensome and bureaucratic permitting process that far too often keeps these critical minerals in the ground. Rather than continuing to rely on adversaries like China for these resources, I look forward to seeing Nevada’s miners produce these resources here at home under the strongest environmental and labor standards in the world. I urge my colleagues in the Senate to pass this legislation.” | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-07T23:30:02Z |

Dina Titus (NV-01), Susie Lee (NV-03), Steven Horsford (NV-04), and John Garamendi (CA-08). This bipartisan legislation reauthorizes $415 million in funding through September 30, 2034 to reduce the threat of wildfire, combat invasive species, improve water clarity, and restore the environment in the Lake Tahoe Basin. “Lake Tahoe is a natural wonder and key pillar of our local economy,” said Rep. Amodei. “We have a shared responsibility to preserve its beauty for generations to come, so I am proud to team up with my colleagues from Nevada and California to reauthorize funding for important management projects that will restore the environment and avert imminent threats in the Lake Tahoe Basin.” “Anyone who’s visited Lake Tahoe understands the importance of preserving it for future generations. It is nothing less than a national treasure,” said Rep. Titus. “I’m working with my colleagues to push for this critical funding to protect Nevada’s environment and boost our vibrant tourism sector.” “Nevadans and tourists from around the world flock to Lake Tahoe by the millions each year to experience its world class skiing and boating, stunning trails, and incredible diversity of wildlife, making it a crucial part of our state’s economy and a landmark of our nation’s natural beauty,” said Rep. Lee. “That’s why I’m proud to stand with my fellow Nevadans to reintroduce the Lake Tahoe Restoration Reauthorization Act. Whether it’s stopping wildfires, invasive species, or the human toll on the environment in the Tahoe Basin, we must act now to preserve the Lake and surrounding environment for generations to come.” “Lake Tahoe’s stunning landscapes and clear blue water make it one of the world’s finest treasures, cherished by Nevadans and tourists alike,” said Rep.

Amodei | A000369 | amodei.house.gov | amodei | https://amodei.house.gov/news-releases | scraper | WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, U.S. Representative Mark E. Amodei (NV-02) issued the following statement after being appointed to serve as the Chairman of the Legislative Branch Subcommittee on the U.S. House Committee on Appropriations: “It is an honor to be appointed Chairman of the House Appropriations Legislative Branch Subcommittee. In the entire history of the state, Nevada has only sent three of its own to be Appropriations Subcommittee Chairs, and I’m proud to be one of these fortunate few and honored to continue this legacy. On Appropriations, we are tasked with the heavy, yet critical, job of cutting wasteful spending and establishing a fiscally responsible budget. To that end, I look forward to collaboration with my fellow Appropriators and colleagues in Congress as we work towards sensible policy solutions. Thank you, Nevada, for continuing to trust in me to represent you!” Appropriations Committee Chairwoman Kay Granger added “I am pleased to announce that I have appointed Rep. Amodei to serve as Chairman of the Legislative Branch Subcommittee. After serving on the subcommittee for several Congresses, his knowledge and expertise on legislative branch issues will be crucial as the Capitol campus reopens to the public. I have no doubt that Rep. Amodei will continue to serve his constituents and the State of Nevada in this new role, and I look forward to working with him to support the needs of our nation while delivering on our commitment to rein in unnecessary government spending.” Congressman Amodei’s Chairmanship appointment is historic for Nevada. There have only been four Representatives from Nevada on the House Appropriations Committee since Nevada became a state in the 38th Congress, only two of whom were Appropriations Subcommittee Chairs during their tenure. Nearly 90 years ago, Rep. James G. Scrugham (NV-at-Large) served as the Chairman of the House Appropriations Subcommittee of the Navy. In the 1990s, Rep. Barbara F. Vucanovich (NV-02) served as the Chairwoman of the House Appropriations Subc… | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-07T23:08:17Z |
