DPromising $90 checks to Medicare beneficiaries and $500 refunds to some ACA enrollees’ weeks before an election isn't a health care plan. Nevadans need affordable premiums and prescriptions they can count on all year long. https://t.co/931U0rrp0h
Mortgage rates just hit 7.28%, the highest in nearly three years, even as more than 10,000 homes sit on the Las Vegas market. Working families shouldn't be priced out of the communities they keep running. Homes are for people, not corporations. https://t.co/6rw4wEo6l1
I joined the Nevada Housing Justice Alliance at the Regional Justice Center. We called for housing and eviction reform to ensure working people trying to get a roof over their heads are not punished by an unforgiving process. Housing is a human right and I will continue to fight for housing justice for working people.
Nevada now leads similarly sized states in Medicaid fraud convictions and recovered $18.5 million last fiscal year. That's what accountability looks like: going after fraud without taking care away from the seniors, kids, and families who rely on it. https://t.co/iwmlIuMfMa
Two Elko casinos could close next month, putting 239 workers' jobs at risk at the Maverick and Gold Country. A sale could still keep the doors open, and I'm hopeful a deal comes together that protects these workers and their families. https://t.co/bRO7ftEfEu
Nevada's gaming win rose 3.1% in August, but the Strip was nearly flat and airport traffic fell 9.2%. When fewer visitors come, workers and small businesses feel it first. Nevada needs an economy that works beyond the casino floor. https://t.co/TDpaAFkSLe
Between wildfires, flash floods, and extreme heat, Nevadans know disasters don't wait for us to be ready. On International Day for Disaster Risk Reduction, I'm focused on the infrastructure and first responders that keep communities safe.
When families are worried about their jobs, their mortgage, and rising prices, they put big decisions on hold, from buying a home to starting a business. A strong economy should give people the confidence to move forward, not a reason to wait. https://t.co/AbWSvyPMWm
#NV04 is now home to North Las Vegas Fire Department’s first training center. The new facility includes a burn box and pad for live fire training, ambulance simulator, and indoor classrooms. The improved training experience will sharpen skills and develop leadership of North Las Vegas firefighters, while delivering life-saving results for residents. I’m proud to see North Las Vegas continue to lead the way in innovative, hands-on workforce development training and education.
Happy Indigenous Peoples' Day to the Tribal nations and Native communities across Nevada. Honoring them means more than recognition. It means respecting sovereignty and investing in health care, education, water, and infrastructure. https://t.co/q7MwMLKDKx
Prediction markets are now adding deposit limits and self-exclusion tools, the same protections sportsbooks use, because what they offer is gambling. States and Tribes should regulate it, and my Prediction Markets Are Gambling Act makes that clear. https://t.co/7CECzaI5KJ
Hidden fees and algorithm-driven pricing are making it easier for corporations to squeeze more out of Nevada families, and our laws haven't caught up. People deserve to know the real price upfront, and I'm fighting to make sure they do. https://t.co/foN0kQSbVU
Trump's trade war is now deciding what Americans can buy, with the Canadian-made Can-Am Spyder blocked under a ban on nearly $1 billion in goods. That means fewer choices and higher costs, and Nevadans keep footing the bill. https://t.co/oSPFzT5Gl2
I joined @CommishTick, Assemblywoman @SheaBackusEsq, and Native Voters Alliance at the Welcome to Fabulous Las Vegas Sign to celebrate Indigenous Peoples’ Day. This day is about reaffirming our commitment to Nevada’s Native people and Tribal communities. This means respecting sovereignty, listening to leaders, and protecting families.
Workers should never have to worry about their private information being sold ot train AI. @SenWarren and I are leading 119 colleagues in demanding Google and Spirit Airlines protect sensitive employee records. Innovation must not come at the expense of workers’ privacy. https://t.co/wvdU6uU7vS
Farmers are facing higher costs for fuel, fertilizer, and equipment while dealing with unpredictable markets and weather. On National Farmers Day, thank you to the families who keep food on our tables while working to keep their own operations going.
The economy grew 2.2% last quarter, but that number doesn't tell you whether Nevada families can afford rent or groceries. Growth only matters if it shows up in people's paychecks, and that's the economy I'm working to build. https://t.co/m4AiyZEcx1
In moments of celebration, grief, and hardship, faith leaders are often the first people families turn to. On Clergy Appreciation Day, thank you to the pastors, ministers, rabbis, imams, and all clergy who serve Nevada every day.
Some commercial fishermen can barely afford to leave the dock as fuel costs and tariffs keep climbing. Tariffs are taxes, and working people are paying them. My RELIEF Act would send that money back to the people who paid it. https://t.co/K9ir8CD1Aa
Even the NFL recognizes that sports prediction market contracts are gambling, not financial products. We shouldn’t have to wait for the Supreme Court to act. It’s time for Congress to pass my bill to protect consumers, uphold state and tribal gaming laws, and ensure accountability. https://t.co/zNGDTyn1E8
More than 1,300 foster kids in Clark County can't get Social Security cards because SSA won't accept Nevada's electronic records. Without one, it's harder to get a job, coverage, or a permanent home. @SenCortezMasto and I are demanding SSA fix this now. https://t.co/kJzhGxzK0K
Las Vegas is home to greatness! Congratulations to @aja22wilson on making history with her fifth WNBA MVP award, becoming the first player in league history to achieve this milestone! You continue to make Nevada proud and inspire the next generations of athletes. #AllInNV https://t.co/MyjQwWzYj7
The Climate crisis doesn’t affect everyone equally; our clean energy future cannot leave Black communities behind. In my latest op-ed for @TheRoot, I explain why clean energy must mean lower costs, cleaner air, and good-paying jobs for all. https://t.co/w9mu5gyemz
This week, I spoke to students and teachers at Pahrump Valley High School and Veterans Tribute Career Technical Academy about the opportunities my office provides for high school students in #NV04. From the Congressional Art and App Challenges, to the Military Service Academy Nominations, and even internships in my district office, I encourage all students to get involved and apply. The perspectives and voices of young people are vitally important to building a Nevada that works for everyone. Visit my website for more info.
I joined Councilwoman @Shondra4Vegas at her Faith-Based Development Summit because the fight for affordable housing requires everyone. All levels of government, faith leaders, community advocates, housing providers, and residents alike. The redevelopment happening throughout Ward 5 and #NV04 shows how meaningful policy can deliver for working people and their families when everyone is involved.
