“Republicans in Washington are already taking a sledgehammer to southern Nevada’s economy; their law limiting deductions for gambling losses to 90% against wins only further threatens our gaming economy," said Rep. Susie Lee, D-Nev., in a statement. "Without a 100% deduction, gamblers will owe taxes even when they break even or lose money. This will only push them away from Las Vegas, taking more money away from local casinos, hotels, and small businesses who are already struggling thanks to the Trump tourism slump. That’s why I'm working to pass a legislative fix to restore the 100% deduction for gambling losses.”

"I'm horrified by the news that two members of the National Guard were shot today in D.C. I'm keeping them, their families, and every first responder on the scene in my thoughts. Violence has no place in our communities," Rep. Susie Lee said.

The Presumption for Radiation or Toxin Exposure Coverage for Troops (PROTECT) Act, proposed in February by U.S. Reps. Susie Lee, D-Nev., and Mark Amodei, R-Nev., would close the gap. The legislation would ensure medical care to veterans exposed to radiation and other toxins at the Nevada Test and Training Range by establishing a presumption of exposure to radiation and toxins at test site between the years of 1972 and 2005.

"Our men and women in uniform made countless sacrifices for our country to keep our nation safe," Lee said. "So it is our duty, and especially as a member of Congress and the daughter of a veteran, to do everything we can to protect them, especially from invisible enemies such as toxic radiation exposure."

Lee similarly highlighted radiation exposure in a statement, writing that explosive testing is unnecessary and that Congress “must have oversight” on nuclear testing.

“The states that surround the Colorado River — they’re red and blue,” Lee said in a Thursday interview. “But it’s a crisis, and the reason this reauthorization is so important is to make sure we continue to have the authority to use the funding to support these programs.”

Lee emphasized the effect of the subsidies expiring, noting that a local single mom is looking at health insurance premiums skyrocketing from $85 to $700 a month. Those who pay the inflated price, likely will be cutting back spending on food and other purchases while going into credit card debt, she said.

Lee said the fight against hard-line immigration policies is a “slow process and it’s hard.” She also noted she cosponsored the Dignity Act, which among other things created protections for asylum seekers. The bill was introduced this summer but has made little progress since.

Rep. Susie Lee, D-Nev, also voiced her concerns with the legislation, similarly saying that it does not stop the cost of health care from “skyrocketing.” Republicans, Lee said, “own the shutdown” and “jeopardizing health coverage for so many Americans.”

As the votes were counted, Lee posted on X: “I’m a NO on this bill that does nothing to stop health care costs from skyrocketing for millions of Americans. Republicans did not come to the table to stop this — they own the shutdown and they are responsible for jeopardizing health coverage for so many Americans. “
