Dean Heller is a Republican politician from Nevada who served as a United States Senator from 2011 to 2017. He was the first Republican to win a statewide office in Nevada since 2002 when he was elected to the Senate in a special election to fill the vacancy left by John Ensign. During his time in the Senate, Heller focused on issues such as healthcare, tax reform, and veterans' affairs. He was known for his moderate stance on certain issues, including his support for the Affordable Care Act's protections for pre-existing conditions.

I rise with gratitude to address my colleagues and members of my staff to reflect on one of my life's greatest honors, and that is serving the people of the great State of Nevada. I begin by thanking them for giving me the profound honor…

Social Security is the bedrock of financial security for many retired Americans.
while it has been nearly a year since a madman's actions devastated Las Vegas, the shock and pain related to October 1 still remains today. Fifty-eight innocent people lost their lives. Over 800 people were injured, and many of them…
I think it is the first time in history that a President has gone to a facility, a VA facility, to actually sign the appropriations bill for veterans.
I come to the floor today to pay tribute and honor to one of the great Nevadans of our lifetime--Senator Paul Laxalt. Last week, Senator Laxalt passed away at the age of 96, having forever changed the State of Nevada and this country. The…

I begin by thanking Senator Tillis for his leadership on this issue. I also thank him for bringing this to the Senate floor so we can have this discussion, so we can bring to the forefront this issue and try to solve it. I also thank and…
I rise today in support of my amendment, Heller-Brown amendment No. 3405. This bipartisan amendment increases funding for the Volunteer Income Tax Assistance Program, better known as VITA, by $5 million for the next fiscal year. Building…
I authored a provision with Senator Markey to ensure crash avoidance technologies are incorporated into safety ratings for cars.
I appreciate you responding to me with an update about including these technologies in the safety rating, but it didn't provide a timeline for completion.
I rise today to reiterate my strong opposition to the House of Representatives' effort to restart licensing activities at Yucca Mountain and in particular the Nuclear Waste Policy Amendments Act, which passed the House just a few hours…
today, I rise to honor Maj. Stephen Del Bagno, a U.S. Thunderbird pilot who was killed on April 4, 2018, when his F-16 Fighting Falcon crashed at the Nevada Test and Training Range, which is north of Nellis Air Face Base. At just 34, Major…
Opioid abuse is a major public health concern, and more steps need to be taken.
first of all, happy tax day--three words that probably don't usually go together. I will share that anyway because the reason I am up here is that for the first time in more than three decades, Congress overhauled our Tax Code, and that is…
If that proposal is back in there in 2019, I am going to do everything I can to reverse those funds and get them back out.
Knowing that Yucca has not and will not ever see the light of day, do you think it is fiscally responsible to continue to seek hundreds of millions of dollars for this unsafe and ill-conceived proposal?
We have problems in some of our rural areas with access to mental health services for our veterans.
I anticipate, as long as I'm here, that we will slow that application process down or, in fact, continue to remove it from the budget.
