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 as we wait for the Senate on act on the Fiscal Year 2023 Omnibus:

“For those of you confused by the years-long irresponsibility of never completing spending bills under Regular Order, when the Committee of jurisdiction in the mess that is the Senate failed to markup a single Appropriations bill this year, please remember that with a 50-50 split party control in the Senate and Kamala Harris being the tie-breaking vote, this is as to be expected, and not good stuff. What should be a “clean bill” – is instead a $1.8 trillion-dollar, 4,155-page bill laden with partisan initiatives. For those concerned that several Senate Republicans will vote alongside Chuck Schumer, please feel free to rain down your thoughts on them. And get ready, because you have two more weeks of misery with Democrat control in the House and the Senate until January 2, 2023.

“When the Omnibus vote comes to the House, however, leave no room for concern, because Republicans on this side of the Chamber will be unified with an overwhelming “no” vote.”

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 the Fiscal Year (FY) 2023 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA):

“The final product generated between the Senate and the House, which established the NDAA, champions many conservative wins that members of Congress in both chambers fought for and defended. The bill rescinds the COVID-19 vaccine mandate for service members, supports a 4.6% pay increase for service members, combats inflation, requires audits and reviews of aid to Ukraine, advances parental rights for military families, and reverses President Biden’s cuts to shipbuilding, aircraft, and missile defense. These significant provisions will be welcome news for active-duty soldiers, sailors, airmen, marines, coast guard, and space force enlisted personnel and their families. The legislation not only addresses defense and intelligence issues generally, but also includes key provisions specific to Nevada contractors and military operations at Fallon, Creech, Nellis, and Nevada National Guard and Reserve Units. These are important items for U.S. national defense and Nevada’s economy.

“Of course, House and Senate Democrats couldn’t resist including some version of fantasy political agendas, which in this case is a mandate for the Department of Defense (DOD) to have a clean fleet of vehicles by 2030. Stay tuned for seven more years, because U.S. manufacturing and supply lines will render that dream and provision impossible. Of course, don’t take my word for it: ask lithium producers in Nevada how it is going with the permitting process. Nevada is particularly relevant in the entire electric vehicle market because almost half of the lithium claims in this country are located in Nevada.

“However, I’m proud to report that Republicans successfully fought back and kept out the inclusion of provisions related to:

A COVID-19 vaccine mandate;

Red flag gun laws;

Spending of DOD resources on climate change; and

“Draft our Daughters,” which would force women to register with the Selective Service.

“On balance, having a bill so that our defense and national security interests are not frozen and crippled due to lack of authorization, as well as advancing beneficial provisions for our active-duty military, to me, makes a “yes” vote on my part entirely appropriate.”

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 against H.R. 8404, the Respect for Marriage Act:

“The law as it sits prior to H.R. 8404, was this: In the 2020 election, Nevada voters used the referendum process to place same sex marriage protections in the Nevada Constitution. The net effect is that in Nevada and 35 other states, you can marry whoever you want. I support and respect the use of that process and the will of Nevada voters on the issue of same-sex marriage.

“It is also a fact that as a result of the “Full Faith and Credit Clause” in the U.S. Constitution, Article IV, Section 1, that marriages that are valid in the present 36 states, are valid everywhere in the country. Just like your Nevada driver’s license is good in Florida, so is your Nevada marriage license. Accordingly, the need for federal legislation on what has traditionally been state jurisdiction, in this instance – marriage laws – continues to be unapparent. I know that there are people who think that a statement made by Justice Clarence Thomas is a nightmare in the making, but I simply disagree that one Supreme Court Justice’s sidebar creates a clear and present danger to freedom and justice in America.

“It is absolutely the case that before voting on anything, my colleagues and I should take a 360-degree view of, and assess, the need for federal involvement. Central to that assessment is the question, is this a needed federal action? The language of the 10th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution is relevant here: ‘The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.’

“The states have always set forth their rules in relation to marriage. It is their absolute right to do so. They are doing fine. I will not support an unwarranted and unnecessary federal power grab, especially under the political guise of protecting a group of Americans who currently enjoy the full constitutional protections of the Nevada and United States Constitutions.”

https://amodei.house.gov/news-releases/amodei-celebrates-inclusion-fallon-range-training-complex-modernization-fy23-ndaa,Amodei Celebrates Inclusion of Fallon Range Training Complex Modernization in FY23 NDAA,2022-12-07,2022,2022-12,Republican,House,NV,Mark E. Amodei,A000369,amodei.house.gov,amodei,https://amodei.house.gov/news-releases,scraper,"WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Representative Mark Amodei (NV-02) today announced that after over five years of collaboration between the Navy, Churchill County, City of Fallon, Native Nations, the State of Nevada, the Congressional Delegation, and other stakeholders, the Nevada-generated solution to the Navy’s proposed Fallon Range Training Complex (FRTC) Modernization has been included in the FY23 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA).

“This measure represents one of the most significant pieces of Nevada lands legislation in our State’s history. The Nevada Delegation’s community-generated process to address both Naval aviation and SEAL training capabilities, as well as the needs of Churchill County, the Walker River Paiute Tribe, and the Fallon Paiute Shoshone Tribe, ultimately led to the successful inclusion in this year’s NDAA,” said Congressman Mark Amodei. “A few months ago, several interest groups prematurely celebrated their misplaced belief that this proposal had failed in the 117th Congress. As it turns out, the inclusion of significant benefits for Tribal communities, conservationists, national defense interests, and local municipal governments, led to rare, overwhelming, bipartisan consensus that action is appropriate immediately. This is a clear recognition that there are such things as legitimate, responsible uses of public lands.

“I am sorry to report that several other pieces of consensus public lands legislation, initially included in this measure, were omitted due to Democrat committee staff resistance in the Senate Committee on Energy and Natural Resources. They included over 148,000 acres of wilderness designations, 2,600 acres of land transferred to the Washoe Tribe, a prohibition on oil and gas production in nearly 350,000 acres of the Ruby Mountains, and various county lands bill components, including for Douglas County, Pershing County, and Carson City – all consensus measures in these localities – were left behind, and will be priorities for the 118th Congress. I’m grateful for House Natural Resources Committee Ranking Member Bruce Westerman (R-AR) and Senate Committee on Energy and Natural Resources Ranking Member Senator John Barrasso (R-WY), and their staffs, for their diligent commitment to and steadfast support of Nevada’s interests, and I look forward to continued collaboration next Congress.”

Through working with the House and Senate committees of jurisdiction, the Nevada Delegation was able to reach this final agreement on the Fallon compromise, which will expand the Fallon Range Training Complex with an additional 558,535 acres, the majority of which are buffer zones, to ensure naval warfighters are equipped with the best training resources possible to fulfill their missions. A large swath of this land in Dixie Valley will remain under the primary control of the Department of Interior. Further, this agreement designates over 573,000 acres of conservation, wilderness areas, and other protected areas, and holds a total of 18,353 acres of land in trust for the Walker River Paiute and Fallon Paiute Shoshone Tribes. The bill also transfers $20 million to the Walker River Paiute Tribe in recognition of historical contamination of their Tribal lands. Additionally, the agreement will allow Churchill County to access land for economic growth.

Key stakeholders speak in support of the Fallon Modernization:

“The Silver State should be proud that when Churchill County’s future was challenged by the Navy’s proposed expansion, Nevadans stood together, worked together, and created an exciting plan for the future. Over time, Governors Sandoval and Sisolak, Congressman Amodei, Senator Cortez Masto, and Senator Rosen fought shoulder to shoulder with Churchill County to ensure the prosperous future we see for the County,” said Churchill County Chairman Pete Olsen. “When this bill becomes law, we will commence a new chapter focused on ensuring that Congressional intent translates into real world progress. Churchill County looks forward to continuing its strong relationship with the Navy in support of their important mission and partnering with Nevada’s Congressional delegation to ensure the Administration’s implementation accounts for the realities of day-to-day life in Northern Nevada.”

“Rep. Amodei has supported the City of Fallon and other local stakeholders tirelessly to ensure that our voices were heard and our priorities included, since Day 1 of the Navy's proposal,” said City of Fallon Mayor Ken Tedford. “Were it not for Rep. Amodei's efforts, this monumental legislation would not have been possible. He is a true champion for Nevada.”

“The Fallon Range Training Complex is the Navy’s premier training environment and vital to ensuring tactical aviation readiness and improved ground forces training that can meet the demands of today and the threats of tomorrow,” said Secretary of the Navy Carlos Del Toro. “This critical legislation enhances our Nation’s security by allowing our Carrier Air Wings and Naval Special Warfare Teams to train in a more realistic environment and better prepare for strategic competition. I am grateful to Congressional leadership, especially Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto (D-NV), Sen. Jacky Rosen (D-NV), Rep. Mark Amodei (R-NV), and the tribal stakeholders, local and state government leaders, and the people of Nevada who worked together to support this modernization for our Navy and our Nation.”

“The inclusion of Nevada’s plan for the Fallon Naval Air Station expansion in the National Defense Authorization reflects the best in bipartisan collaboration between the Nevada Congressional delegation, the United States Navy, the Department of Interior, the Walker River Paiute Tribe, the Fallon Paiute Shoshone Tribe, Churchill County, conservation advocates, sportsmen and many, many other Nevadans,” said Governor Steve Sisolak. “I salute Congressman Amodei and Senators Cortez Masto and Rosen for their hard work on the frontlines and behind the scenes to deliver this great win for the Silver State.”

“We are grateful for the inclusion of three new Wilderness areas, the Clan Alpine, Cain Mountain and Desatoya Mountains along with a new National Conservation Area in Churchill and Lander Counties as part of this year's National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA),” said Friends of Nevada Wilderness Executive Director Shaaron Netherton. “We thank Senators Cortez Masto and Rosen and Congressman Amodei for their dedication in working through a difficult process with a wide range of stakeholders in order to reach a complex compromise for the state of Nevada within the NDAA. While we are disappointed there is not more conservation in this bill, we look forward to continuing to work with the delegation next year to advance on-going conservation efforts around the state.""

“The unprecedented cynicism toward voter intelligence continues to be out of control by this Administration. Nobody knows how much this really costs. It may end up closer to a trillion dollars – it’s certainly halfway there – but it’s impossible to know because this Administration loves announcements despite the fact they don’t have any answers to how this is really going to work.

“Put aside what it is really going to cost for a minute, and ask yourself – what lengths will this Administration go to for a few votes? It doesn’t matter, apparently, if you’re in compliance with your loan presently – don’t worry about paying it off? Are you going to be taxed on what is essentially a gift from the Federal government? And for those of you who have paid off your student loans recently, and over the years – not even a thanks or a warm handshake. Responsibility is penalized.

“These are the same folks who are starving border enforcement resources in order to keep it open, and who don’t care about your energy costs, your food costs, and your household goods costs. If you think this is a partisan rant, take a look at what Nevada’s Federal Senate Delegation had to say about this latest ignore-the-facts-and-policy move by an Administration also known as “the gang that couldn’t shoot straight.” I look forward to seeing what the courts say about using COVID-based authority for this political stunt. Once again, if you’re wondering what direction this country is headed under the present leadership, here’s another example which doesn’t take a lot of study.”",1,2026-03-30T01:40:41Z,2026-04-08T02:59:24Z

Abigail, a junior at Wells High School in Elko County, and her mother traveled to Washington D.C. for the Congressional Art Competition winners’ reception.

Her original artwork, called Nevada’s Landscape, used acrylic paint, showcasing the natural beauty of Nevada. In her art competition entry form, Abigail wrote as part of her description, “A Nevada landscape that is filled with bright color. A body of water is visible that has mountains and trees surrounding it. The painting captures a daybreak of the landscape.”

Rep. Amodei said, “The annual Congressional Art Competition is a great opportunity for students to showcase their artistic talent, creative vision, and enthusiasm for their state. In her powerful painting, Nevada’s Landscape, Abigail, Nevada’s Second Congressional District winner, captures the magic of daybreak in Nevada. I applaud Abigail’s Nevada-inspired creation, and I look forward to seeing Nevada’s Landscape shining bright at the Capitol for the next year. This year’s submissions as a whole were incredibly strong, and I congratulate Abigail on this exceptional achievement. I’m proud of all our participants this year and hope students across Northern Nevada will join in this competition again next year.”

Blocks access to up to 58 million acres of roadless areas across the nation, making them even more susceptible to wildfires.

Includes so-called “Environmental Justice” provisions that would only make the regulatory arena worse and open federal land management agencies up to frivolous litigation from environmental groups.

Authorizes more than $4 billion in new federal funding, channeling money toward unnecessary research, studies and environmental restoration projects that don’t deliver water to communities now.

Creates a federal water monitoring program that could be weaponized by potential litigants against farmers and ranchers to further curtail their access to water.",1,2026-03-30T01:40:41Z,2026-04-08T02:49:02Z

It is the height of disrespect, but no surprise to me, that the majority party has decided to push legislation that labels many of America’s most common guns as so-called “assault weapons”. In fact, this proposal goes beyond the 1994 ban that, by the way, was found to have little to no impact on gun crime rates while it was in effect. This legislation even more broadly defines what types of firearms would be banned by requiring just one qualifying feature instead of the previous two-test requirement, and by banning all AK and AR style weapons, of which there are millions already in circulation being used lawfully by everyday Americans. I have never supported taking away the Second Amendment rights from an overwhelming majority of law-abiding gun owners just because less than 0.0007% of the population decides to engage in criminal activities.

They did not ask for, nor do they need direction from a body of 435 individuals – 431 of whom are not from Nevada. Nevada voters have said at the ballot box what they want the rules to be regarding same-sex marriage, abortion rights, how they want to run elections in Nevada, as well as other issues where political dictates from the federal government seek to fill a void where none exists. In an age where we are struggling with the meaning of Title IX and the complete disregard of legislative rules, political agendas aimed at election advantage do nothing to solve the real issues facing Nevadans today. I sure wish we could get an immigration bill to the floor to make meaningful policy changes at the border, on energy, or on housing costs, to name a few.

WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Representative Mark Amodei (NV-02) today issued the following statement after securing every Community Project Funding (CPF) request submitted to the U.S. House Committee on Appropriations for Nevada’s Second District for Fiscal Year (FY) 2023:

“I applaud the Nevada entities that have successfully adhered to the strict guidelines provided by the U.S. House Committee on Appropriations to achieve the inclusion of 15 separate Community Project Funding requests in the FY23 federal spending bill to secure a combined total of $32,249,135 for Northern Nevada. As a member of the Appropriations Committee, I was proud to advocate for and advance funding for critical projects in Nevada’s Second Congressional District, including funds for law enforcement efficiency, wastewater treatment, airport improvements, intersection safety, highway infrastructure advancements, small businesses development, medical school training equipment, and economic revitalization. The Appropriations Committee will now move forward to pass these measures on the House floor. I look forward to continuing our work with the U.S. Senate via the eventual conference process to ensure that the final FY23 funding bills are better as a whole, while including these important priorities.

“And for the pro-transparency crowd, a friendly reminder that these are not the outdated “earmarks” full of pet projects and pork, but funds for vital community projects. The entities requesting funding for these projects, state and local governments or eligible non-profit entities, have gone through a rigorous process to demonstrate clear community support and prove the specific intent of the funds and benefit to the local area. Further, Members of Congress cannot have any financial interests in the projects, and the requests must be made publicly available online before they are considered by the Committee.

“What this process represents is 100% focus on Nevada’s Second District, 100% participation in Appropriations Committee procedures, 100% entity due diligence, and 100% staff attention to detail, so naturally, with this strong team effort, we successfully were able to secure 100% of the Community Project Funding requests submitted to the Committee. Congratulations, Nevada!”

The Community Project Funding successfully secured by Rep. Amodei listed below:

WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Representative Mark Amodei (NV-02) issued the following statement after the U.S. Supreme Court announced its ruling in the Title 42 case Biden v. Texas:

“I’m disappointed that the U.S. Supreme Court today ruled to uphold President Biden’s decision to end Title 42, the Trump-era order better known as the ‘Remain in Mexico’ policy designed to help secure the border and keep Americans safe. Since the start of this failed Administration, over 2.9 million illegal immigrants have been apprehended at the southern border, and those numbers continue to rise, setting new records month after month. This is not only a national security crisis, but also a humanitarian crisis that will grow worse and worse following this ruling. Just this week, 53 migrants were found dead in a tractor trailer near the border in Texas because of a tragic and failed human smuggling attempt, and so far this fiscal year, over 7,700 pounds of fentanyl, enough to kill millions of Americans, has been seized by Customs and Border Protection. This is not the time for weak immigration policies that encourage illegal crossings.

“As such, today in the Appropriations Committee markup on the Fiscal Year 2023 Labor, Health and Human Services bill, I was glad to vote for an amendment that would effectively delay the Biden Administration from ending Title 42. Unfortunately, House Democrats rejected the amendment. Further, I’ve called for an investigation into the release of migrants in the U.S. along with my colleagues on the Appropriations Committee, and I will continue to support strong border policies. I urge this Administration and this majority party in Congress to secure our border, protect existing laws that keep American citizens healthy and safe, and enact legislation that will address the surge of drug smugglers and human traffickers at the border. But given the Supreme Court’s ruling on Title 42, unfortunately, we can expect that the partisan political agendas of this Administration will only be incentivized.”",1,2026-03-30T01:40:41Z,2026-04-06T18:13:54Z

WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Representative Mark Amodei (NV-02) issued the following statement following the House vote on S. 2938, the so-called Bipartisan Safer Communities Act and H.R. 6538, the Active Shooter Alert Act:

“It’s been an interesting week. You have to marvel at the consistency in the Senate. When it comes to anything of importance, anything resembling a transparent process is extinct in terms of how issues get debated, brought to the floor and passed. After a few weeks of closed-door negotiations by a special group, a bill is brought to the floor, passed, and sent over to Nancy Pelosi’s House of Representatives.

“While there are some good policy ideas contained in the so-called Bipartisan Safer Communities Act, we are unfortunately at a time when trust in the top ranks of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and the Department of Justice (DOJ), who remain constantly focused on political agendas, is at zero. Support for bills which require trust in these entities and treat the Second Amendment casually is not justified. Further, at first glance, the Active Shooter Alert Act looked innocuous, but when you rely upon grants which are administered by the DOJ, what you are going to get is a continued assault on the Second Amendment by Merrick Garland and Joe Biden. While we are always in support of our law enforcement professionals, this is one of those times where experience tells us that expectations will get overruled by partisan political agendas.

“Along those same lines, school safety and juvenile background inquiries are things that I think a lot of people could probably get behind. It is worth also noting, earlier this week the House passed H.R. 7666 – The Restoring Hope for Mental Health and Well-Being Act, on a bipartisan basis, which will provide critical grants to help address mental health problems across the nation, substance abuse disorders, and suicide prevention, especially amongst children and young adults. But when you get into defining boyfriends, girlfriends, and relationships, as well as competing definitions of red flag dos and don’ts, once again, with zero trust in the present Administration’s DOJ and FBI political appointees, my appetite for hoping for the best is exhausted. I vote no.”",1,2026-03-30T01:40:41Z,2026-04-08T02:39:01Z

WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Representative Mark Amodei (NV-02) issued the following statement after the U.S. Supreme Court announced its ruling in the case Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization:

“In the long-awaited Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization case, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that abortion is not a constitutional right, thus allowing each state to regulate it as they see fit. While I am personally pro-life and have a strong pro-life voting record in Congress, Nevadans voted by referendum in 1990 to legalize abortions beyond the minimum criteria of Roe v. Wade. If Nevadans wish to change those abortion laws to reflect the Dobbs v. Jackson ruling, this must be done through a proposed ballot initiative. Just as the U.S. Supreme Court had a process to follow in terms of hearing and reaching a decision on this case, the State of Nevada also has a process to follow in order to change our state’s existing abortion laws. In Congress, my voting record and legislative actions will continue to reflect my commitment to protecting life. This includes preserving the Hyde Amendment and preventing the taxpayer funding of abortions and opposing the majority party’s abortion-on-demand agenda.”",1,2026-03-30T01:40:41Z,2026-04-08T02:39:01Z

WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Representative Mark Amodei (NV-02) issued the following statement after voting against H.R. 7910 – the “Unconstitutional Gun Restrictions Act” and H.R. 2377 – the “Federal Extreme Risk Protection Order Act”:

“The Biden Administration and the majority party in Congress have now pushed their anti-Second Amendment agenda to extreme ends. In line with the Democrat motto of “never let a good crisis go to waste,” they have, in less than two weeks following the tragedy in Uvalde, Texas, forced a vote solely on gun control, without any provisions addressing school safety. In the face of this horrific school shooting, the majority party in the House did not accept a single amendment that Republicans introduced on policies for safer schools. The reality is that in failing to confront this undeniable issue and find meaningful solutions, the Left has succeeded in passing the most blatantly anti-gun legislation in the history of this country.

“While the messaging of this bill will be turned into who does and does not support the safety of our children and communities, it’s awful that commonsense measures that actually work to harden our schools are ignored by House Democrats in favor of an anti-Second Amendment agenda they have openly pushed for years. We have hardened our airports, our places of worship, and our government buildings, including the Capitol, in response to tragic events, but for purely political agenda reasons we cannot agree to add needed security infrastructure when it comes to our schools.

“If this were really about school safety, that is the first thing the majority party would take a look at in terms of sound policy solutions. For example, the Secure Every School and Protect our Nation’s Children Act would focus on assessing schools for weaknesses in security and mental health services; the Police Officers Protecting Children Act would allow law enforcement officers or retired law enforcement officers to carry a concealed firearm onto school grounds if approved by the local school board; and the Luke and Alex School Safety Act, which would require the Department of Homeland Security to establish a Federal Clearinghouse on School Safety Best Practices. These are all Republican-proposed measures to address this issue, which I have cosponsored, never considered by the House majority party.

“In a complete and total infringement of our rights, H.R. 2377 strips American citizens of their due process in allowing the seizure of their firearms without notice or any opportunity to be heard. In H.R. 7910, Americans are stripped of property rights and basic self-defense options, as the mandated restrictions would make it difficult to access a firearm in your own home – even in an emergency – due to “safe storage” provisions. Moreover, the capacity limitations would ban some of the most common firearms used by law-abiding Americans.

“The overwhelming supermajority of the people who own firearms are law-abiding citizens. 50% of new gun sales are to women. When we have women who are purchasing guns in record numbers, and the overwhelming supermajority of gun owners who are law-abiding, we need to do better than ignoring school safety and attacking one of the most law-abiding groups in the country. And what legislation has Speaker Pelosi brought to this floor to help Americans deal with gas and diesel price increases? To curb inflation on food costs? To turn around our skidding economy? Correct, nothing. Clearly, the majority agenda folks care about nothing other than their agenda. I vote “nay.””",1,2026-03-30T01:40:41Z,2026-04-08T02:39:01Z

WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Representative Mark Amodei (NV-02) issued the following statement after voting for the Fiscal Year 2022 Omnibus spending package, H.R. 2471 – Consolidated Appropriations Act:

“Thanks to continuing resolution after continuing resolution over the past several months, Congress has maintained the Trump Administration’s funding levels for well over a year into the Biden Presidency. For all of those “vote no” amnesiacs in favor of government shutdowns, let me remind you that while this process has been the height of irresponsible decision making by the majority party, the only thing that’s worse than Congress’ dysfunction right now is shutting down the government and disrupting our veterans, social security operations, defense and border security operations, to name a few.

“With all due respect to my colleagues who voted “no”, no one is fooled by the “vote no, hope yes” culture. The domestic spending portion of the Omnibus is a classic example of that because no one will be championing that they voted against life, against saving border wall money, and against veterans’ programs. Further, livestock producers and the agriculture industry were rescued from burdensome Green New Deal requirements Democrats had insisted on pursing. While there is no such thing as perfect, we think this combination of conservative provisions allows us to continue the fight in the face of the dysfunction of the majority in the House, Senate, and White House.

“In this Omnibus package, there are some fundamentally-American results achieved by those of us who didn’t give up the fight, and as a result, produced several policy home runs despite being in the minority. Some of these provisions include:

An increase of $32.5 billion in funding for the Department of Defense (DOD), including a 2.7% pay raise for our troops;

An increase of $400 million for Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and an increase of $800 million for Customs and Border Protection (CBP), in part to address the crisis at our Southern border;

A $211 million increase to Wildland Fire Management for the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) and U.S. Forest Service;

Allowing for continued domestic energy and mineral development by preventing sage grouse from being listed in the Endangered Species Act (ESA);

Exempting farmers and ranchers from greenhouse gas permitting and reporting requirements;

A prohibition on closing the Guantanamo Bay detention facility and transferring detainees; and

A prohibition on the use of funds from being used to implement the United Nations Arms Trade Treaty, which urges greater record-keeping of lawful firearm owners, moving closer to the left’s long-sought goal of a national firearm ownership registry.

“Another successful aspect of this bill is that several Democrat poison pill provisions were eliminated through the conference process between the House and Senate. While it is part of the “woke” agenda of the majority party to remove Hyde Amendment protections, this long-standing amendment was preserved in the Omnibus package, preventing taxpayer dollars from being used to fund abortions. Moreover, anti-energy provisions, which would dramatically further reduce domestic mineral production, and a provision demanded by progressives to cancel $1.9 billion in border wall funding, further fueling the border crisis, were also eliminated.

“And because multi-tasking is important, I was also glad to see the inclusion of several Nevada-specific wins that I directly advocated for over the fiscal year:

All 10 submitted Community Project Funding designations, including funding to purchase emergency responder communications equipment for the cities of Sparks and West Wendover, upgrades to municipal water plants and sewer systems, and pedestrian improvements in Carson City, just to name a few;

The largest ever appropriations package for Lake Tahoe, including $7 million specifically to improve waterline infrastructure on Highway 50 for wildfire response capabilities;

Funding to support Nevada-based companies’ technology production, such as the Sierra Nevada Corporation and Rocky Research;

Funding for the Desert Research Institute (DRI) to carry out studies preventing urban flood damage, hydrological and climate forecasting, and improved data sharing capabilities; and

Funding to support research activities to improve geothermal and solar efficiency production, both of which have a strong presence in Nevada’s energy grid.

“As I’ve said repeatedly, the dysfunction of the majority party in Congress is off the charts. Although long overdue in its passage, now that Fiscal Year 2022 deck has been cleared with this vote, I look forward to continuing to work with my colleagues on the Appropriations Committee to secure funding for many more Nevada priorities again in Fiscal Year 2023, all while pushing back against provisions that serve a far-left, political agenda.”",1,2026-03-30T01:40:41Z,2026-04-08T02:06:17Z

WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Representative Mark Amodei (NV-02) today issued the following statement in response to the crisis in Ukraine and the Biden Administration’s foreign and domestic agenda:

“After a year of the Biden Administration and Congressional Democrats being focused on progressive agendas and not America or its citizens, we find ourselves exactly where we’ve been heading, unmistakably, the whole time. The situation in Ukraine continues to deteriorate. The Russian conquest is being implemented. Border policy and foreign policy are both found in the morgue, and the economy is in critical condition. The Administration’s energy policy is a self-inflicted disaster, fences are being put back up around the Capitol, crime is the only growth sector, trust in the federal government and its institutions – without exception – is at zero, and the President, Vice President, Speaker, and Senate Majority Leader appear to be content presiding over what has to be the worst 12 months in the modern history of managing the federal government.

“While energy production in Russia and Iran is booming, at home, the majority party is working to drive through an agenda which continues the direct attacks on domestic energy producers. On top of that, between coronavirus shutdowns, paying workforces to stay home, inflation, food, and energy prices – make no mistake, this Administration’s most endangered species is America’s small businesses.

“Those of us non-woke, non-Green New Deal, non-cancel culture, progressive myth non-believers, will continue to keep the faith, man the walls, and carry on the fight for solving problems instead of lying about reality. The President refuses to join the fight, the challenge is clear. We now need to rescue ourselves, our nation, and its institutions from the failed agendas and the failed leaders running our nation. Saddle up.”",1,2026-03-30T01:40:41Z,2026-04-08T01:57:46Z

WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Representative Mark Amodei (NV-02) joined his colleagues on the House Committee on Appropriations in sending a letter to Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas urging an investigation into reports of illegal immigrants being released within the U.S.

“Northern Nevadans are rightfully concerned about the reports of illegal immigrants being released into our communities at taxpayer expense and deserve answers that will shed light on the long-term impact of these actions. My colleagues on the Appropriations Committee and I expect a swift and comprehensive numerical breakdown from the DHS directly addressing these concerns in order for us to take appropriate action to protect taxpayer dollars and keep families safe,” said Rep. Amodei. “Quite frankly, there are no two ways about it – the humanitarian, health, and security crisis at our southern border grows worse by the day. This same Administration, which has proven disastrous in its handling of historic illegal border crossings and crime, needs to shed light on how it will ensure the safety of our citizens.”

In the letter, Rep. Amodei and his colleagues wrote:

“[O]ur constituents have contacted our offices with concerns and outrage over recent reports of aliens being transported and released, at taxpayer expense, into the interior of the United States under the cover of darkness. In light of these reports, we urgently request that you provide our offices a report, broken down by congressional district, detailing how many migrants who have entered the country illegally have been released into the United States, the cost to the federal government of transporting these migrants prior to release, and what security and health screening protocols were in place associated with any such release.”

Congressman Amodei was joined by Reps.

“Today I voted against a partisan federal takeover of elections once again. This is the fifth time in two years that Democrat leadership has flipped the bird at states’ constitutional authority to run their own elections.
