The housing crisis is not unique to Southern Nevada.🏠 Other cities don’t have the luxury of being surrounded by public lands and must find solutions within their geographical boundaries. Nevada needs to invest in our existing communities before selling BLM land to the highest bidder. #NVisNotForSale
Clark County previously confirmed to the Review-Journal that the federal government owns 88% of all land in the county, and the Bureau of Land Management manages more than half of that.

Thank you to everyone who joined my public lands roundtable. It was a success!

It is important to discuss sustainable development, especially when we consider our public lands. I’ll continue advocating for both, as I return to Congress next week.

Electricity prices are rising more than twice as fast as overall inflation. That's especially costly during the dog days of summer when air conditioners are working hardest. In addition to hot weather, a variety of factors are causing power bills to climb, including the high cost of natural gas used to generate electricity and soaring demand from data centers.
