Political Quotes

“Mr. Speaker, I rise in support of this FAA reauthorization bill, which will have far-reaching impact on the airspace in Nevada's First District by including provisions that I led requiring the maximum hiring of air traffic controllers and protecting large outdoor events from unauthorized drone incursions. Furthermore, I am proud to say the bill includes provisions from my Air Carrier Access Amendments Act, previously led by my good friend, former Representative Jim Langevin. It will protect the rights of disabled passengers by establishing aircraft accessibility standards and setting a timeline for DOT to investigate and respond to disability-related complaints. I thank Chairman Sam Graves, Ranking Member Larsen, Aviation Subcommittee Chair Garret Graves and Ranking Member Cohen for their hard work on this bill and helping me to get these provisions included.”
