“The government should deliver meaningful results for the people it serves, and that’s exactly why I signed the Promise to America,” Lee said in a statement to the Nevada Current Monday. “It’s about creating a government that works for everyone, not catering to the extremes on either end or waiting for your side of the aisle to be in control to get something done. We must lower costs and expand opportunities for hardworking families across our country – the only way to do that is by being bipartisan, and I’ve worked relentlessly with Democrats and Republicans alike to achieve real results for Nevada families.”

"Susie Lee is a pit bull on this stuff, going after the secretary and the chairman of the Joint Chiefs, and different people," he said.

Southern Nevada’s public safety and transit agencies just landed a major federal cash infusion after a roundtable led by Rep. Susie Lee this week. Roughly $18 million in awards will pay for bus replacements and security upgrades, firefighter recruiting and retention, air support equipment and upgrades to an emergency operations center.

"Southern Nevada is unique because, you know, while we have 2.5 million residents here, we also have a lot of tourists and we have a lot of special events, probably more than any other community in the country," Lee said. "So, [we're] making sure that we're fighting for funding that represents and reflects the type of demand that they have."

U.S. Rep. Susie Lee highlighted the funding during a roundtable held today with leaders from the Regional Transportation Commission, Metro Police, Las Vegas Fire and Rescue, and the Clark County Fire Department.

“It’s no secret how ridiculously expensive childcare is in Nevada. Three out of four kids in our state do not have access to a licensed childcare provider – that’s unacceptable. Parent’s shouldn’t need to choose between having a full-time job or taking care of their kids,” said Congresswoman Susie Lee. “This isn’t a red or blue issue. I’m proud to introduce the bipartisan Child Care Modernization Act to address this crisis by helping childcare providers expand their reach and allowing more families in our community to access the high-quality childcare they need.”

“It does not give any special treatment to solar or to wind or anything else,” Lee said. “It simply ends the political gamesmanship that is raising costs for all of our constituents."

“With energy bills going up, we need to embrace an all-of-the-above approach to bring these costs down for hard-working Americans,” said U.S. Rep. Susie Lee (D-NV), who co-leads the House-approved bill with U.S. Rep. Jeff Hurd (R-CO). “This landmark geothermal package, and the home-grown energy it supports, will do just that.”
