Proudly serving the folks in Nevada's 3rd District. Bipartisan Leader. Education Advocate. Mom to two great kids.
Veterans who served at the Nevada Test Site are dying every week because of toxic radiation exposure. Sec. Hegseth committed to look into this issue. But he’s gone radio silent while vets die without the benefits they earned. The Dept. of Defense must act now to help these veterans.
Americans have spent $56.4 billion more on gas since the beginning of Trump’s war in Iran. That’s $477 for each household. Think about that.
Trump's ongoing war in Iran is continuing to raise costs for American families. Since the start of Trump’s war, Americans have paid $477 more for gas per household — that’s more than $56.4 billion nationwide.
As a former college swimmer, I couldn’t be more excited for the opening of the new Olympic-sized pool at Pavilion Center! 🏊♀️ (1/2)
This is the story of a veteran who was exposed to toxic radiation while serving at the Nevada Test and Training Range. Red tape at the Department of Defense is stopping him and so many others from getting the care they earned. (1/2)
Congratulations to Tami Hance-Lehr, a pillar in Nevada's nonprofit and education community, and a dear friend of mine, on her well-earned retirement. (1/2)
Six years ago, we lost the Conscience of the Congress, Congressman John Lewis. From leading the march across the Edmund Pettus Bridge to serving in the House, he never stopped fighting for justice, equality, and the right to vote. We honor his legacy by carrying it forward.
Republicans tried to cut veterans benefits today. We beat them.
So glad I could come visit the amazing E. Carrice Banks, CEO and Owner of HOT 702.5 FM, at the ReVibe Lounge! She owns this incredible spot with her husband Jevon, featuring tea, mocktails, art, and even pop-up yoga classes! (1/2)
I joined the dedicated men and women of Metro to talk to Spring Valley residents about how we’re working to keep our community safe from sexual assault. (1/2)
Here in our state, renewable energies are key to lowering energy bills. Attacks on clean energy projects will only increase costs for hardworking families. (1/2)
Trump's so-called Big Beautiful Bill took food away from 131,000 Nevadans, letting seniors, children, and families go hungry to pay for tax breaks for the wealthiest Americans.
Las Vegas is the entertainment capital of the world because of the incredible artists, DJs, musicians, designers, and performers who call our great city home. (1/2)
Trump's so-called Big Beautiful Bill strips health care away from more than 25,000 Nevadans in our district and more than 100,000 people across the state.
🚨Under the Trump Administration, 4th of July staples were up over 20% this year. 43% of Americans report being worse off financially than they were a year ago. I hear you. I'm standing up to this Administration’s harmful policies and fighting to lower costs for southern Nevadans.
Happy Independence Day! As we celebrate the 250th anniversary of our nation’s founding, we reflect on the ideals of freedom, equality, and opportunity that continue to guide us forward.
Making burgers this July 4th? 🍔 Beef, lettuce, and bread are more expensive because of Trump’s tariffs and high gas prices from his war in Iran.
Republicans and Democrats came together to take on corporate investors and lower housing costs for Nevadans. We passed a bill and it’s Trump’s desk right now. But he refuses to sign it. No more games. Trump needs to sign the damn bill now.
Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area will be featured on America’s birthday cake! Thrilled that I could help decorate this piece of the America 250 cake that showcases our beautiful public lands in southern Nevada. Thank you to America250 for making this cake possible!
Happy 117th Birthday Clark County! Founded on July 1, 1909, Clark County is home to… 🃏The entertainment capital of the world 🚴Gorgeous public lands & outdoor recreation ✅Engineering marvels like the Hoover Dam Proud to represent one of the most vibrant, diverse, & beautiful places in our nation!
Buying or renting a home should not be out of reach for Americans. One job should be enough to own a home, afford health care, and retire with dignity. That’s exactly what I’ve been fighting for. (1/3)
So great to meet with our heroic federal wildland firefighters to talk about how I’m working to get them the support they deserve!
High costs are stopping summer vacations 🛑☀️ This summer, 45% of adults say they're not planning to take a vacation — with nearly half blaming high costs. (1/2)
57 years ago today, the patrons at Stonewall stood up against hate & sparked the beginnings of Pride. Today, we continue to stand against all forms of hate. I proudly display this flag outside my office because Americans deserve a government that represents ALL of us.
I’m so glad my team was able to cut through government red tape to quickly help a mom and her son get the passport they needed in time for their travel. Need help with a federal agency? Contact my office today.
Thank you to Mona Lisa Paulo and The Center for giving me a tour of “Mobilina” which is bringing essential primary care and HIV & Hepatitis C Testing to communities all over our state. (1/2)
Today marks 11 years since the Supreme Court legalized same-sex marriage across our country. As a Member of the Equality Caucus, I was proud to vote for the #RespectForMarriageAct to codify protections for same-sex couples under federal law.
Congratulations to Rumy, the winner of the Congressional Art Competition from #NV03🎨 Rumy’s beautiful painting which now hangs in the U.S. Capitol, showing the best of what our community has to offer!
The Hoover Dam was authorized for construction 97 years ago today! I’m proud that my bipartisan Help Hoover Dam Act became law this year. (1/2)
Extremists aren’t stopping at overturning Roe v. Wade. Piece by piece, they are trying to ban women’s access to health care on the national-level. I stood up for women who give their service to our country to ensure that they have access to essential medical care when they need it.
