More on Economy
As the representative of Nevada's fourth congressional district, I proudly support the Natural Resources Management Act. This important bill permanently reauthorizes the Land and Water Conservation Fund, which has provided $40 million for local parks in Nevada and an additional $60 million for our public lands. In Nevada, outdoor recreation is a vital part of our economy, supporting thousands of jobs and contributing billions of dollars in wages and consumer spending.
As one of the 535 people at the US Capitol, I understand the importance of signing off on the spending deal to prevent another government shutdown. While the legislation may not be perfect, it fulfills the critical task of funding our government through the rest of the fiscal year. I spent my day in Washington discussing a bill I am co-sponsoring to support federal workers who endured the 35-day shutdown without pay. The bill aims to provide reimbursement for fees, fines, and interest incurred by these workers, who were not at fault for the shutdown.
