Washington, DC – Today, Rep. Susie Lee (NV-03) marked her first 100 days in office by releasing the following statement:

"I came to Congress to work across the aisle and find solutions for the people of Nevada's Third District, and that's exactly what I have been doing during these 100 days in office. The work I have accomplished so far is proof you can lead the fight to improve our schools and provide quality care for our veterans in a bipartisan way. I have led bipartisan legislation to ensure our veterans are able to receive childcare anywhere they receive VA services, focused school construction legislation on the needs of Clark County's crowded classrooms, and saved constituents more than $150,000. I am committed to working for my constituents to find solutions for the problems they face every day."
