I passed the Not Invisible Act and Savanna's Act to help protect Indigenous women and girls from violence. But we must do more.   As we mark Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women's Awareness Day, I'm committed to continuing this fight for safety, healing, and justice.

Drug traffickers are mixing xylazine into fentanyl, increasing the risk of a fatal overdose that's resistant to Narcan. It's past time for us to take action to protect our communities, that's why I'm pushing to pass my bill to combat illicit xylazine as soon as possible.

Every student deserves the opportunity to succeed in our schools, that's why I just introduced legislation with @JohnCornyn to address the shortage of teachers for English Language Learners and deliver more tools for our schools to help every child receive a quality education.

Lower costs and more opportunities, that's what I'm fighting for in the Senate.   And with this new investment I secured, even more of our working families can take advantage of clean energy that will create jobs and help lower energy costs across Nevada.

Cinco de Mayo is an opportunity to celebrate our Mexican-American community and the traditions that make us who we are. It was so wonderful to join Comm. Kirkpatrick and so many of our families this evening to celebrate our culture. ¡Feliz Cinco de Mayo!

Aaron and Mallory founded Winnie and Ethel's to honor their grandparents' cooking and the memories they shared. It was great to see the passion that they've put into their business that's serving our community.   Thank you for having me!

When I pushed to pass my Freedom to Travel for Health Care Act, Senate Republicans said it was unnecessary, that @SenateDems had an "obsession with abortion." So they blocked it. And now, women are paying the price. We need to pass my bill now to protect women's basic freedoms.

It's time to end the stigma around menopause. I'm proud to join @PattyMurray on legislation that invests in menopause research and care. Women's mid-life health matters, and I'm working to deliver the resources women need to stay healthy in every stage of their lives.

I pushed the Biden Admin. to expand health care access to Dreamers. Today, I'm glad to see this effort pay off as @POTUS begins rolling out affordable coverage for DACA recipients.   This is incredible news, and it's going to make a real difference here in Nevada.

Last year, over 60 million passengers flew through our airports in Nevada, and it's our air traffic controllers that help keep them safe in the skies. As I work to improve air safety and efficiency, I'm proud to work together with @NATCA to support our air traffic controllers.

Shirley Chisholm was a fighter, and as the first Black woman in Congress, she blazed a trail for generations to follow. Today, I'm joining @Senlaphonza on a bill to posthumously award Chisholm the Congressional Gold Medal and recognize her legacy that continues to inspire us all.

Xylazine is threatening Nevadans across our state, and we need to pass my bipartisan legislation as soon as possible to give our law enforcement the tools they need to combat this dangerous drug. Combatting illicit xylazine can't wait - we have to take action now.

Inbox: CCM is filing her bill to crack down on xylazine as an amendment to the must-pass FAA reauthorization bill FAA is one of the only trains we know has to leave the station this year, so CCM and others are going to try to get their top (bipartisan) priorities attached

Great news, my IHS Workforce Parity Act has passed the @IndianCommittee ! This bill is about addressing the health care professional shortage in Indian Country that is impacting Tribal communities in Nevada, and now I'm going to fight to get it to the President's desk.

Every time I'm in Tribal communities in Nevada, I hear about the challenges they face staying safe - especially in this crisis of murdered and missing Indigenous women. That's why I'm fighting for my BADGES Act to support Tribal police with the public safety resources they need.

Our veterans in Northern Nevada deserve an upgraded, 21st-century medical center that meets their needs and provides the care that they've earned serving our country. I'm working on bipartisan legislation to make that new facility a reality in Reno.

When violent crimes against Native people go unprosecuted, that impacts the entire community. It's essential that we pass my BADGES for Native Communities Act that empowers Tribal law enforcement with the tools and resources they need to save lives and protect their communities.

Welcoming our kids to the Senate to learn about how their government works is one of my favorite parts of representing our state. It was wonderful to meet all of these incredible students from Linda Rankin Givens Elementary - safe travels back home to Las Vegas!

I fought to include essential measures in the Inflation Reduction Act to combat the extreme drought we're facing in the West. Now, I'm pushing the Biden Admin. to work quickly to put those resources to work to protect our water for future generations.

I led the fight to pass the FEND Off Fentanyl Act because we need real action to combat the flow of fentanyl into our communities. That's what this new law does by cracking down on the financing that international smuggling rings rely on to fund their operations.
