I am here today not only to mourn the loss of a family friend and lifelong Las Vegas resident, but to let Congress know what an amazing young woman she was. Dana Marshall-Bernstein died in December at the age of 28 following a lifelong…

I'm concerned about the consistent attacks on solar energy from both the current Administration and the Republican-led Congress.

So as a matter of national security and safety, we want to reduce our dependence on foreign sources of energy, reduce our carbon footprint, and the solar energy industry provides good-paying jobs.

Without strong support and investment by the federal government, we are likely to lose jobs in this growing industry and the opportunity to control our own energy future.

Solar energy is an important and growing portion of our nation's energy consumption.

The Administration's proposed cuts of over 2/3 to the DOE's solar technology program budget will have a profound and negative impact on our nation's ability to utilize this resource.

It's been more than five years since this Committee last held a hearing specifically on solar energy.

I am deeply concerned by the Republican tax bill that... will hurt our solar industry by eliminating the ten percent investment tax credit for large-scale solar projects.

This week, Republicans are continuing to work behind closed doors to put finishing touches on their disastrous tax bill that will hurt countless families in Nevada and across this country. Let's be clear: This monstrosity of a bill would…

I am disgusted by House Republicans' continued efforts to end DACA and help this heartless administration tear families apart. Yesterday, House Republicans had a chance to rectify the Trump Administration's despicable decision to betray…

I want to echo the sentiments of my colleague from Nevada (Mr. Kihuen) by making one thing perfectly clear: Nevadans are completely against becoming the Nation's nuclear dumping ground. And make no mistake, that is exactly what this…

I am a girl who codes, who made it to Congress, who started her career as a computer programmer in the 1970s.

I thank her for her efforts, and I hope to see her bill receive speedy consideration.

In Nevada and across the country, we are continuing to see a huge demand for workers in the technical industry, including software developers; engineers; and computer programmers, like myself. Despite the progress we have made, fewer than…

If today's vote on the previous question fails, instead of voting on a partisan bill that rolls back key environmental laws, overturns State law, and ignores real solutions to our water supply shortages in the West, we will have the…

I represent southern Nevada. We have Nellis Air Force Base, Nevada Test and Training Range, Creech Air Force Base down south.

I want to thank all the panelists for being here today.

I find it deeply disturbing that highly classified intelligence information from Israel, our indispensable ally, was carelessly compromised by President Trump in a meeting with Russian officials. By recklessly sharing this sensitive…
