In a tough year, Nevada Senate Democrats are going to retain our majority. I am proud to lead this team to victory. We know votes are still being counted & are grateful for our election officials doing their jobs. One thing is clear- Democrats will lead the Senate.
🚨 I am turning in my bill to protect patients and providers from draconian abortion bans in other states!
🩺 If you're coming here to seek reproductive care, we want you to know you're safe and welcome in Nevada!
I’m proud of my friend,

Dems wrote a historic K-12 education budget, including a nearly 30% increase in per pupil spending. And ICYMI (because you weren't awake at midnight!), that budget is now law.
Here are some highlights from the bill - big wins for Nevada public schools and students!
After today's
@NV4ReproFreedom
rally, I was proud to add my name to the list of more than 10,000 Nevadans who have ALREADY signed the petition to protect reproductive rights! We won't back down from this fight!
Unfortunately, a majority of the CCSD Board of Trustees has created an environment where Dr. Jara and his senior administrators are never expected to produce results and are never held accountable for their arrogant, intransigent leadership.
1st day of the 80th Legislative Session, and the first time there has been a female majority in a state legislature in history. I am honored to stand among these women, and upon the shoulders of those before us. Strong women- May we know them, may we raise them, may we be them.
Nevadans overwhelmingly want these bills, but unfortunately the extremist national gun lobby runs the show at the Governor's office.
I am thankful for the leadership of
@DallasHarrisNV

Nevadans overwhelmingly support reproductive rights - letting these highly personal decisions remain personal.
And we're going to keep demanding that our politicians respect those rights too!

Senator Reid's contributions to our state and our country are too numerous to list. He was a friend, a mentor, and an awe-inspiring leader. We'll never see another Nevadan like him. Nate and I are thinking of Landra and the Reid family tonight.
Biggest state K-12 education budget in history, a 26% increase in per pupil spending - we can afford to give teachers and staff the raises they deserve!
Heartbroken at the incredible loss of Assemblyman Tyrone Thompson. From the first time I met him, he was nothing but kind, caring, and a fearless advocate for those who needed a voice. I will never forget his smile, that brightened every room he walked into.
Our educators deserve a fair contract with substantial raises. That's what we appropriated record funding for at
#nvleg
, and that's what we expect the district to do!
Earlier this week, Gov. Lombardo dismissively said our
#nvleg
agenda was just "feel good" politics.
He intended it as an insult, but I took it as a compliment - it's a good thing when Nevadans feel good about the bills we are passing.
And, as you can see below, they do!
NEW NEVADA POLL:
--Putting abortion rights in the Constitution: 62%
--Legalize lottery: 71%
-- Raising the minimum age to purchase a shotgun or long gun to 21: 68%

Excited that the judge ruled on the side of NV voters this morning. TY to everyone that stepped up to help us fight these bogus recalls including all our great volunteers, legal team, labor family, & allies. Onward!

Radicals on the Supreme Court are hellbent on stripping away our fundamental rights. It’s based on shameful ideology, not law. Nevada will remain a safe place for women to seek abortion care. As long as Democrats continue to govern, those rights will be protected in our state.

I have started a post a hundred times here. I still don’t think I have the words. I asked my husband how we’re supposed to send him to school. TO SCHOOL. Parents should not have to ask whether they should risk their kid’s life for their education. It’s unacceptable.
