Nevada’s congressional delegation is gearing up for a new legislative session under GOP control. Despite the change in administration, the six members of Congress are committed to continuing their bipartisan efforts and addressing key priorities.
Senators Catherine Cortez Masto and Jacky Rosen, now in the minority party, are no strangers to working across the aisle. Cortez Masto plans to focus on affordable housing, healthcare, small businesses, and protecting key legislation like the Affordable Care Act. She has a history of bipartisan collaboration, including passing legislation on human trafficking during the Trump administration.
Rosen, who narrowly won re-election, remains dedicated to addressing the needs of Nevada families. She will prioritize issues like the cost of groceries, affordable housing, and job training programs. Her bipartisan approach has been evident in collaborations like the Truckee Meadows Public Lands Management Act with Rep. Mark Amodei.
In the House, Rep. Dina Titus is prepared to tackle both offensive and defensive strategies under a second Trump administration. She will focus on job creation, renewable energy, extreme heat, and water issues. Titus is determined to protect education, environmental regulations, and women’s rights.
Amodei, the only Republican in Nevada’s delegation, is focused on bipartisan accomplishments. His Northern Nevada Economic Development and Conservation Act is an example of successful collaboration. As chair of the House Appropriations Homeland Security Subcommittee, he plays a crucial role in overseeing funding for key agencies.
Rep. Susie Lee aims to continue her work on government funding, consumer costs, and permitting reform. Her bipartisan efforts have been recognized, and she is committed to representing the interests of her constituents. Lee’s Accelerating Appraisals and Conservation Efforts Act is aimed at opening up federal land for development.
Rep. Steven Horsford is dedicated to tackling issues like affordable housing, Social Security, and Medicare. He is pushing for legislation like the HOME Act to address housing affordability and the TIPS Act to exempt tips from federal income tax. Horsford’s focus on national security and supporting service members remains a top priority.
Overall, Nevada’s congressional delegation is ready to navigate the challenges and opportunities presented by a new administration. Their commitment to bipartisan cooperation and addressing key issues facing Nevadans will remain steadfast in the coming legislative session.
