Amodei | A000369 | amodei.house.gov | amodei | https://amodei.house.gov/news-releases | scraper | Washington, D.C. – This week, the House Appropriations Committee approved Subcommittee Chairman Amodei’s FY27 Homeland Security Appropriations Bill, delivering a hard-fought victory during one of the most pivotal and politically contentious periods in the Department’s history. Rep. Mark Amodei has served on the House Appropriations Committee since the 114th Congress in 2015. After chairing the Legislative Branch Subcommittee during the 118th Congress, he assumed leadership of the Homeland Security Subcommittee in the 119th Congress. Taking the gavel amid the Biden Administration’s border crisis, Amodei has worked to strengthen border security and ensure the Department has the resources needed to support the current administration’s enforcement and homeland security priorities. “First, I’d like to thank each member of this subcommittee for working together to deliver a bill that embodies responsible legislating,” said Homeland Security Subcommittee Chairman Mark Amodei. “We all know the importance of this agency and the work it does every day to secure our homeland. While it has been no easy feat to chair a subcommittee in such a polarized environment, this bill was drafted with a deliberate focus on building upon investments that have strengthened our capabilities while ensuring resources are directed where they are needed most. “At its core, this bill maintains our strong posture on immigration enforcement, expands the use of technology to detect and stop deadly drugs from entering our communities, provides resources to investigate and protect victims of exploitation and human trafficking, streamlines preparedness and security efforts for upcoming and major national events, modernizes maritime operations, strengthens disaster response efforts, and helps deter ongoing aggression generated by nation-state adversaries. “It has been an absolute honor to serve as a cardinal on the Appropriations Committee. I am proud of what we have accomplished over the years, especially our diligence to restore regular order an… | 1 | 2026-06-27T21:44:12Z | 2026-06-27T22:11:26Z |

Amodei | A000369 | amodei.house.gov | amodei | https://amodei.house.gov/news-releases | scraper | Washington, D.C. – Rep. Mark Amodei announced that all 20 of his Community Project Funding requests, totaling over $29 million, for NV-02 were accepted following the House Appropriations Committee’s release of the FY27 bills for Interior and Environment; Transportation, Housing and Urban Development and Related Agencies; and Commerce, Justice, and Science. “I’d like to give a special thanks to the Subcommittee Chairs and their staff for carefully reviewing every submission and determining the projects I submitted to improve NV-02 met all qualifications," said Rep. Mark Amodei. “These investments will bolster our police force and enhance public safety. They will maintain quality drinking water for our communities and rehabilitate our waterway infrastructure. They will also support our pro-growth goals by advancing initiatives that improve the efficiency of our roads, schools, and airport. “I’m proud to be Original Nevada’s Congressman delivering all twenty of our district-focused priorities during my final appropriations season for pure Nevada, and I look forward to watching these investments pay off while someone else handles the late-night votes.” FY27 Community Project Funding Secured: Commerce, Justice, and Science: Recipient: Douglas County Sheriff’s Office Amount: $2,000,000 Project Description: This project will support the replacement of aging, end-of-life equipment with modern radios, repeaters, and supporting infrastructure; upgrades to backhaul from legacy copper lines to fiber; and the addition of redundancy, including backup power, diverse routing, and alternate sites, to ensure reliable, interoperable communications for first responders.

Amodei | A000369 | amodei.house.gov | amodei | https://amodei.house.gov/news-releases | scraper | Washington, D.C. – Today, Rep. Mark Amodei announced $20 million in funding for the Reno-Tahoe International Airport after years of work to advance this priority. The investment is part of nearly $1 billion Secretary Duffy has announced as part of the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act Airport Terminal Program. “It's a breath of fresh air to see this initiative finally cross the finish line thanks to the leadership of Secretary Sean Duffy,” said Rep. Mark Amodei. “I appreciate the professionalism and leadership of my former House colleague, the Secretary, and his team in working directly with me to emphasize the importance of this project. Northern Nevada continues to grow as a destination for travel, business expansion, and corporate relocation, and our airport must keep pace through timely infrastructure upgrades and modernization efforts that create a more efficient and enjoyable travel experience for families and visitors. Thank you again to the Department of Transportation and the Federal Aviation Administration for recognizing the vital role our airport plays in our state’s growth and for making these improvements a priority. I join countless Nevadans in looking forward to its completion.” | 1 | 2026-06-27T21:44:12Z | 2026-06-27T22:21:02Z |

Amodei | A000369 | amodei.house.gov | amodei | https://amodei.house.gov/news-releases | scraper | Washington, D.C. – Rep. Mark Amodei released the following statement announcing the departure of his Chief of Staff, Molly Cutrona, who has served Nevada’s Second District for eight years. Ken Brooke, the current Deputy Chief of Staff, will succeed her. “It is with a heavy heart that I announce the departure of one of my closest advisors and Chief of Staff, Molly Cutrona,” said Rep. Mark Amodei. “While she hails from our neighbor California, we’ve chosen not to hold that against her and proudly consider her an honorary Nevadan. Molly joined my team eight years ago as Legislative Director and in 2020 stepped into the role of Chief of Staff. She is without question one of the hardest working individuals I have had the privilege to work with, a beloved mentor, and a fierce defender of the values of Nevada’s Second District. She led my D.C. office with integrity, grace, and unwavering loyalty, and earned the trust of all as a decisive problem solver in the face of Washington’s many challenges. She began her career in Rep. Ken Calvert’s (CA-41) office after graduating from Pepperdine University. During her time with my office, she also got married and started a family, welcoming twins. It has been an honor to see her grow both professionally and personally over the years. While we are sad to see her leave, we are grateful for the privilege of working alongside her and have no doubt she will find continued success in the private sector. We are excited to have Ken Brooke step into the role of Chief of Staff. A native Nevadan, Ken was first introduced to the office when he volunteered as an intern on my campaign in 2011. While studying at the University of Nevada, Reno, he served in our District Office beginning in 2013, before moving to Washington, D.C. in 2017 as a Legislative Assistant and most recently as Deputy Chief of Staff. Ken brings a deep understanding of the issues facing Nevadans, and I am confident he will excel in this new role.” | 1 | 2026-06-27T21:44:12Z | 2026-06-27T22:21:02Z |

Amodei | A000369 | amodei.house.gov | amodei | https://amodei.house.gov/news-releases | scraper | Washington, D.C. – Today, Rep. Mark Amodei recognized Debbie Balsinger, a Constituent Services Representative in his Reno District Office, who was honored with the Veterans Advocacy Leader award from Disabled American Veterans. “I can’t think of anyone more deserving of this distinguished recognition than Debbie,” said Rep. Mark Amodei. “Since joining my office in 2020, she has dedicated herself wholeheartedly to serving Nevada’s veterans and their families. Her compassion, commitment, and tireless advocacy are evident to everyone who has the privilege of working with her. We are proud of all she has accomplished and congratulate her on this well-earned honor.” | 1 | 2026-06-27T21:44:12Z | 2026-06-27T22:21:02Z |

Amodei | A000369 | amodei.house.gov | amodei | https://amodei.house.gov/news-releases | scraper | Washington, D.C. – Homeland Security Appropriations Subcommittee Chairman Mark Amodei released the following statement following yesterday’s oversight hearing on the potential impacts of a DHS shutdown: “Under the leadership of Chuck Schumer, progressive Democrats are now demanding that Congress weaken interior immigration enforcement or risk shutting down the entire Department of Homeland Security,” said Chairman Mark Amodei. “If you think that’s acceptable because you oppose ICE or Border Patrol operations, it’s worth remembering that DHS funds far more than immigration enforcement. Threatening to shut it down puts core national security functions at risk. “The Coast Guard, which carries out critical maritime search-and-rescue missions, would be sidelined. FEMA’s emergency preparedness and disaster recovery efforts would be delayed and disrupted, even as states across the country are still dealing with historic winter weather. At a time of heightened global tensions, DHS cybersecurity and communications capabilities would shift from proactive to reactive defense. During the last shutdown, Americans saw firsthand what happens when TSA operations are disrupted: longer wait times, widespread flight cancellations, and unnecessary chaos. Some lawmakers are apparently willing to see that happen again. “None of these consequences have anything to do with immigration enforcement. “While I’ve previously said ICE needs to refocus on its core mission, that pivot is already underway. Under Tom Homan’s leadership, tensions in Minnesota were successfully deescalated through engagement with local officials, leading to the conclusion of surge operations in the state and the deployment of body cameras for personnel remaining on the ground. “It’s also important to note that ICE still has resources funded in the One Big Beautiful Bill if the third shutdown in less than 100 days takes place. At the same time, a continuing resolution does little to resolve the issue, as it keeps funding at FY25 levels, which are actually high… | 1 | 2026-06-27T21:44:12Z | 2026-06-27T22:17:58Z |

Amodei | A000369 | amodei.house.gov | amodei | https://amodei.house.gov/news-releases | scraper | Washington, D.C. – Rep. Mark Amodei announced the inclusion of $34.85 million in appropriations for the continued development and expansion of the ShakeAlert West Coast earthquake early warning system, with language specifically directing the United States Geological Survey to initiate the expansion of the program into Nevada. This funding was secured in H.R. 6938, the Commerce, Justice, Science; Energy and Water Development; and Interior and Environment Appropriations Act, 2026, which was signed into law by the President on January 23, 2026. “While neighboring states already have the tools and technology to warn residents of potential earthquakes, Nevada has lagged behind,” said Rep. Mark Amodei. “This funding will equip our state’s experts with the resources they need to implement a proven system that keeps Nevadans safe and communities prepared for seismic activity. I appreciate the University of Nevada for their leadership and advocacy on this issue, and it was an honor to work alongside them to secure the funding that will bring ShakeAlert to Nevada.” “We thank Representative Amodei for his leadership in advocating for this funding to advance research and create much needed infrastructure for earthquake emergency response in Nevada,” said Brian Sandoval, President, University of Nevada. "The possibility of ShakeAlert expanding to serve Nevada is really exciting,” said Christie Rowe, Director of Nevada Seismological Laboratory. “We will help the USGS develop a plan that fits Nevada's people, industries, and infrastructure to offer the best warning system possible. We are so grateful for the support from Nevada's congressional delegation that resulted in this critical step toward earthquake early warning for Nevada." "The ShakeAlert system was designed in such a way that it could be expanded to other U.S. regions with high earthquake risk,” said Robert de Groot, Coordinator for Communication, Education, Outreach, and Technical Engagement for the ShakeAlert Program. “Possibilities could include the populat… | 1 | 2026-06-27T21:44:12Z | 2026-06-27T22:17:58Z |

Amodei | A000369 | amodei.house.gov | amodei | https://amodei.house.gov/news-releases | scraper | Washington, D.C. – Today, Rep. Mark Amodei released the following statement: "Serving the people of Nevada has been the honor of my lifetime. Nobody is prouder of our Nevada Congressional District than me. Thank you for the honor. Every achievement worth doing began with listening to Nevadans and fighting for our values. I came to Congress to solve problems and to make sure our State and Nation have strong voice in the federal policy and oversight processes. I look forward to finishing my term. After 15 years of service, I believe it is the right time for Nevada and myself to pass the torch." | 1 | 2026-06-27T21:44:12Z | 2026-06-27T22:17:58Z |

Amodei | A000369 | amodei.house.gov | amodei | https://amodei.house.gov/news-releases | scraper | Washington, D.C. – Today, Homeland Security Appropriations Subcommittee Chairman Mark Amodei released the following statement on the latest developments in Minnesota: "A pivot to ICE’s core mission in Minnesota is needed. Prioritizing the most dangerous criminal aliens and focusing enforcement on individuals who have gone through due process and have final orders of removal is the stated core mission. Over the past 60 days, we’ve been compiling data to better understand the internal culture and operational decisions that existed prior to the recent fatal shootings in Minneapolis. The fact that Tom Homan, along with CBP Commissioner Rodney Scott and former Deputy CBP Commissioner and Acting ICE Director Ron Vitiello, have been sent to assess the situation is an encouraging indicator that a pivot is happening; led by career law enforcement professionals, who have served under both Republican and Democratic Administrations. Those are the people who are now in charge in Minnesota. Additionally, Governor Walz talking on the phone with the President to coordinate efforts is another step in the right direction. What we’ve seen in the last 72 hours looks completely different from before, and that shift must continue. I look forward to the shooting investigation results in both instances in a timely manner. That said, there is another player in the room who has not been exemplary, and that is the local agitators and politicians who have encouraged the continued interference with immigration enforcement operations. They share equal responsibility for creating a warzone mentality on the ground. State, local, and federal agencies must unify their efforts, leveraging their distinct authorities and resources to restore safety and order in Minnesota. For those calling to shut down the Department of Homeland Security under the belief that it would be wise for the nation, I beg to differ. It is beyond reckless to shut down FEMA during unprecedented winter weather events that affect approximately 30 states. Sidelining the Secr… | 1 | 2026-06-27T21:44:12Z | 2026-06-27T22:17:32Z |

Amodei | A000369 | amodei.house.gov | amodei | https://amodei.house.gov/news-releases | scraper | Washington, D.C. – Today, the House of Representatives passed H.R. 7147, the Department of Homeland Security Appropriations Act, 2026. With the passage of this bill, along with H.R. 7148, the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2026, the House completed its work on government funding for the fiscal year. Homeland Security Subcommittee Chairman Mark Amodei issued the following statement after its passage in the House of Representatives: “When we look back to a year ago and the disaster at the border the Trump Administration inherited, it’s clear the voices of the American people were taken seriously when they went to the ballot box with the hope of more secure borders, streets free of drugs and violent criminals, and the peace of mind that comes with safer communities,” said Chairman Mark Amodei. “This funding addresses every aspect of our national security where the United States could be vulnerable. It strengthens protections across air, land, maritime, and emerging cyber domains, while supporting innovation, training, and modern technologies needed to stay ahead of bad actors and adversaries. “It’s also fiscally responsible, saving taxpayer dollars by cutting programs and offices that pursue missions unrelated to security of the homeland and refocusing resources on initiatives that truly keep Americans safe. “The road to restoring regular order was not an easy one, but Chairman Cole’s leadership and commitment to the process brought us to this point. I want to thank my colleagues on the committee and the subcommittee staff for their partnership and hard work in getting this across the finish line.” Key Takeaways: | 1 | 2026-06-27T21:44:12Z | 2026-06-27T22:17:32Z |

Amodei | A000369 | amodei.house.gov | amodei | https://amodei.house.gov/news-releases | scraper | Washington, D.C. – Today, the House of Representatives passed a third package of two full-year FY26 appropriations bills, including Financial Services and General Government, and National Security, Department of State, and Related Programs. “Chairman Cole is leading an effort many doubted was possible and one that has not been accomplished in some time: restoring regular order in the appropriations process. With the passage of today’s third minibus, the House has now advanced more than half of the twelve appropriations bills required to reach the finish line. Each of these bills has been finalized through good-faith negotiations in both chambers and on both sides of the aisle. “This two-bill package protects Americans by combating illicit drugs entering our country, promotes stability by focusing resources on allies that advance U.S. interests, and enhances accountability by preventing adversaries from exploiting U.S. assistance. It also modernizes government operations by reining in a weaponized IRS, bolsters economic growth by supporting entrepreneurship and small business development, and counters malign cyberattacks by strengthening technology defenses. “Not only is this a fiscally responsible package that cuts billions in spending, it demonstrates a stronger approach to governing that delivers cost-saving results for taxpayers.” | 1 | 2026-06-13T06:32:19Z | 2026-06-13T06:34:27Z |

Amodei | A000369 | amodei.house.gov | amodei | https://amodei.house.gov/news-releases | scraper | Washington, D.C. – Today, the House of Representatives took another meaningful step toward restoring regular order by advancing the bipartisan, conferenced Commerce, Justice, Science; Energy and Water Development; and Interior and Environment Appropriations Act, 2026. Rep. Amodei was able to secure $17.8 million for 10 locally driven projects across Northern Nevada in this minibus. “This bipartisan, bicameral funding package reflects the diligent work of Appropriators to keep progress moving forward and prevent chaos from derailing our responsibilities. With a few bills still to finalize, the passage of three additional Fiscal Year 2026 appropriations bills sets the year off on strong footing and moves us closer to our goal of restoring regular order. “This package focuses on priorities that matter to Americans nationwide. It invests in public safety, supports access to affordable and reliable energy, strengthens deterrence against foreign adversaries, ensures National Parks remain open and accessible, responsibly stewards taxpayer dollars, fully funds programs families and communities rely on, and much more. “Also included is funding for 10 essential projects across Northern Nevada. I’m grateful to the subcommittee chairs for their thoughtful consideration and for recognizing the value these investments will bring to improve the lives of Nevadans in CD-2.” FY26 Community Project Funding Awardees Included in Interior and Environment: Recipient: Reno-Sparks Indian Colony Amount: $2,224,000 Project Name: Hungry Valley Water Pipeline Installation Recipient: Gardnerville Ranchos General Improvement District Amount: $2,000,000 Project Name: Gardnerville Ranchos South District Pipeline Replacement Recipient: City of Fernley Amount: $2,000,000 Project Name: Fernley Water Treatment Plant Recipient: City of Elko Amount: $2,000,000 Project Name: City of Elko Water Storage Tank Recipient: Lyon County Amount: $1,938,000 Project Name: Dayton Sewer Main and Manhole Rehabilitation Project Recipient: City o… | 1 | 2026-06-06T06:16:30Z | 2026-06-06T06:17:47Z |
