As the third most effective House Democrat, I am fighting every day to make the cost of living more affordable and working hard to deliver positive change for #OnlyinDistrictOne.
Congratulations @PVLL_NV on winning the @LittleLeague US Championship today! Best of luck as you compete in the World Series tomorrow. #OnlyInDistrictOne

Twenty-five years ago today, the @UN named August 29 International Day Against Nuclear Tests. We must recommit ourselves to international nuclear security, arms control, and nonproliferation. I am leading the charge in Congress to prevent explosive nuclear testing with my RESTRAIN Act.
In yesterday's @OversightDems field hearing in Las Vegas, I emphasized that data centers are a growing issue across the country, especially in Southern Nevada where the first data center on public land has been recommended. Residents of any community where data centers are being proposed deserve a say in their construction.
This is a positive step towards upholding our gaming laws in Nevada. Three Trump appointed judges reaffirmed the basic principle that states and tribes should be the ones to regulate gambling within their borders. If it looks like sports betting and talks like sports betting, then it is sports betting.

Members of @OversightDems came to Las Vegas for a field hearing on @POTUS’s affordability crisis. We heard from several witnesses who are feeling the #TrumpSlump. While conservatives in Washington are raising prices on healthcare, food, and gasoline, Democrats are fighting to bring costs down.
On the 63rd Anniversary of the #MarchOnWashington, we are reminded to continue carrying on Martin Luther King Jr.’s legacy and “dream” of freedom and equality for all. We also honor those who brought us closer to a more perfect union.
Today I announced that I secured over $1 million for @CityOfLasVegas’s Vision Zero School Zone project. This will deliver safety enhancements at 281 school zone locations throughout Las Vegas. As a senior member of @TransportDems, I’ve been leading my Congressional colleagues in the fight to protect our students and families from traffic accidents and fatalities.
When @POTUS launched his illegal war with Iran, he said it would wrap up in days. Six months later, we are still bogged down in his manufactured quagmire that has not achieved any of Trump’s changing objectives. Instead, it has caused gas prices to skyrocket and inflation to soar while plunging the region into conflict and chaos.
Congratulations to #AvantiGreen on their new Las Vegas office! A woman owned business, they are delivering eco-friendly cleaning solutions in southern Nevada.
.@POTUS does not have the authority to destroy the Kennedy Center. This is just another ploy from his Administration to stifle the arts and turn our national treasures into monuments for himself.
The Justice Department told the U.S. District Court of the District of Columbia that the Kennedy Center "will be required to be taken down" if the performing arts center cannot be closed for two years for renovations.

This is a major win for the safety of our children. Social media platforms like Facebook and Instagram must be held accountable for endangering minors and young adults with harmful features.

It was a pleasure talking with @lvchamber today prior to their DC fly-in. From fighting for our public lands to supporting our tourism economy, I am championing issues of importance to businesses #OnlyInDistrictOne. @MBSewald
Today I celebrated #NationalDogDay by honoring our K-9 heroes @ATFHQ’s Las Vegas field office. They are protecting the public every day by helping our law enforcement officers sniff out weapons and explosives.
While progress has been achieved in the fight for women’s equality, today reminds us that there is still work to be done. Let us continue to strive for a future where no woman or girl is left behind. #WomensEqualityDay
We lost the queen of country music today, but Dolly Parton’s philanthropic generosity will live on in our hearts forever. Dolly always reminded us to be authentically ourselves. She rose to fame and fortune writing and producing her own songs while never forgetting and always embracing her humble roots in Locust Ridge, Tennessee. Rest in peace, Dolly. We will always love you.
@SCOTUS undermines our democracy with a ruling on @POTUS’s emergency order to restrict mail-in ballots. Trump knows the more people who vote in November the greater the chances are Republicans will lose. The Court upheld Trump’s order temporarily but legal challenges remain. Nevada’s mail voting program is safe snd effective. We Nevadans will not be manipulated by Trump to achieve his political ends.
Today I hosted a roundtable with community leaders to discuss the future of Southern Nevada's travel and tourism industry, with a particular focus on the growing outdoor recreation industry. Thank you for joining me
@NevadaOutdoor, @getoutdoorsnv, @ConservationLF, and @LVCVA
Today’s announcement that the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation could cut Nevada’s allocation of Colorado River water by 70 percent amounts to a death sentence for Southern Nevada. We could not survive a cut of that magnitude. The BOR misled us last week in saying our allocation would be cut by 17 percent over the next two years. They neglected to disclose that the Record of Decision they issued gives the BOR the authority to reduce our allocation by up to 70 percent over the subsequent eight years. This is outrageous duplicity and I will make every effort to hold the responsible BOR officials accountable.
