Newly elected Assemblywoman for Nevada Assembly District 24.

Hate crimes and gun violence are on the rise. #SB171 will bolster our current hate crimes law and make it harder for criminals convicted of committing a hate crime to obtain a firearm - protecting Nevadans and our marginalized communities. #NVLeg

[Gamaliel Zavala Enriquez @gze_gamy]

#AHANevada Great meeting Assemblywoman Sarah Peters & speaking to her about the issues that my neighbors, family, friends & community worry about on a daily basis regarding heart health. Inspiring to listen to her responses knowing that she cares about preventative heart health!

[Sarah Peters @VoteSarahPeters]

Our kids deserve to learn and educators deserve to educate. Let's reduce barriers and increase access and affordability for both families AND physicians.

“It’s our job to step in and make sure the right people are in the right places to make sure our kids are well” said @VoteSarahPeters #AB237 #NVLeg

[Amanda Vaskov @AmandaVaskov]

Students are the future of Nevada’s workforce. Let’s make sure that predatory lending and servicing practices aren’t a barrier for borrowers in managing their loans.

Education loan borrowers: share your experiences this Monday at 1:30 in Assembly Commerce and Labor! #NVLeg

[Assembly Democrats @nvassemblydems]

Today, we celebrate #TransgenderDayofVisibility and reaffirm our commitment to standing with trans Nevadans and trans people around the world.

Underserved communities historically carry the burdens of pollution. Thank you to Asm. @VoteSarahPeters for presenting #AB312, which creates a Commission on Environmental Justice to ensure that future environmental laws will consider their impact on vulnerable communities. #NVLeg

[Tabitha Mueller @tabitha_mueller]

“You wouldn't withhold this care from someone born with a cleft palate. Why would you withhold care from someone who was born trans? I can't change how I was born. This is wired in my brain.”

Very powerful testimony from community members facing environmental challenges who want a voice. AJR3, the Green Amendment, would constitutionally protect the right to clean air and water and a stable climate.

[Maya K van Rossum @MayaKvanRossum]

Compelling voices for #environmentaljustice #environmentalrights & the Nevada #GreenAmendment made a compelling case at its 1st hearing. Industry misinformation fell flat. ThkU @NVEnviroJustice & @VoteSarahPeters. View hearing here: https://t.co/DkLTEHSlqI Start time 4:56:16

[Olivia Tanager @OliviaTanager]

Thanks to @VoteSarahPeters for putting the Green Amendment on the table for Nevadans. All Nevadans deserve a healthy environment, and AJR3 would help us achieve that. #nvleg

[Asm. Michelle Gorelow @MichelleGorelow]

Another long night in #LegOps hearing AJR3 and AB192. Thank you both @VoteSarahPeters and @CeceliaGNV for sharing your pain with us on #environmental and #voting issues. Appreciate everyone providing testimony.

[Sarah Peters @VoteSarahPeters]

Nevada Democrats have been on the frontline of fighting the climate crisis. We have seen the deadly consequences that climate change can have and it is clear that now is the time to act.

This disgusting anti-LGBTQ+ message should be condemned by everyone - no matter their party. Hate has no home here and this dangerous rhetoric does not belong in Nevada

I am proud to serve in Nevada's majority women legislature.

[CAWP @CAWP_RU]

CAWP's 2023 state rankings for women's representation in state legislatures are officially out.

Where does your state rank?

[Sarah Peters @VoteSarahPeters]

As state legislatures across the country attack LGBTQI+ rights, Nevada has formed an LGBTQ+ caucus to uplift the voices of all LGBTQ+ Nevadans.

[Olivia Dalton Archived @ODalton46]

With more than 450 anti-LGBTQI+ bills filed nationwide, including nearly 300 targeting kids, @PressSec says @POTUS "will continue fighting for all Americans and their dignity, because equality under the law isn’t just a slogan, it’s a bedrock principle of our democracy."

[Human Rights Campaign Nevada @HRC_NV]

🥳 Congratulations to our very own Assemblywoman @VoteSarahPeters on your election as Vice Chair of the #NVLeg LGBTQ+ caucus!

@HRC_NV staff in Carson City today met with the Assemblywoman to discuss the work ahead. 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ #HateWontWin

[Sarah Peters @VoteSarahPeters]

@AmyPason You make very good points and I think we are on the same page. I will continue to press NSHE on these and other issues to find solutions. If you haven't read the recent legislative audit reports on NSHE, they are available on the legislative website.

[Sarah Peters @VoteSarahPeters]

@laura_naumann @AmyPason This is a great point and I agree!

[Sarah Peters @VoteSarahPeters]

@AmyPason I also challenged them to document how they could create efficiencies in the use of resources. As you suggest, this may not be possible in an institution dependent on human to human interactions.
