Nevada families have received more than $750 million from expanded child tax credit direct payments since the program began in July.

This month, I helped President Joe Biden and House Democrats negotiate a historic deal to pass the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act. For Nevada, this law means major federal investments to create good-paying union jobs and improve the lives of families across our state.
The big winners in the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act are Nevada workers. For years, the state's clean energy sector has boomed, thanks to our abundant sunlight and open space. Before the pandemic, employment in clean energy was growing nearly twice as fast as overall state job growth.
Southern Nevada's entire congressional delegation — all Democrats — voted for President Joe Biden's infrastructure plan, which passed in bipartisan fashion earlier this month. The president signed the bill into law in a White House ceremony on Monday.
