Lee, vice chair of the bipartisan congressional Colorado River Caucus, said she was proud of the more than $120 million she helped deliver for local water projects, including $20 million for erosion control measures in the Las Vegas Wash.

U.S. Rep. Susie Lee (D-Nev.) hosted the 2024 Water Summit at Springs Preserve, an event that highlighted Nevada’s role as a leader in decisions that guide management of the Colorado River.

U.S. Rep. Susie Lee, D-Nev., brought together federal, state and local leaders at Springs Preserve on Wednesday for her second annual Southern Nevada Water Summit. Decision-makers painted a hesitant, yet more hopeful view for the river that provides drinking water for 40 million people across seven states, Native American tribal lands and parts of Mexico.

More than 41,000 families in Nevada saved more than $151 million on clean energy and clean energy investments.

Lee helped secure $29 million in U.S. Army Corps of Engineers money for the Big Bend Water District in Laughlin, a Clark County town that has seen poor water storage as a limit to urban growth despite being located along the Colorado River.

The bill would permit the Department of Interior to use any appraiser certified in at least one state, which could alleviate bottlenecks that undermine conservation, housing and infrastructure projects on public lands. 

Women in America: Wake up.

Lee is calling on House Speaker Mike Johnson to let the House vote to extend the program and expand coverage for the thousands of Nevadans who were downwind from nuclear radiation released by nuclear testing in the Nevada desert.
