Nevada has consistently demonstrated that economic growth and responsible water management can go hand in hand, and I remain committed to working with our federal partners and the other basin states to reach enduring solutions that strengthen the river system while protecting Nevada’s future.
Statement on Colorado River management

With school districts facing budget pressures that threatened dedicated teachers, staff, and student learning, we needed to take immediate action.
We’ve already shown that we’re willing to do our part, but the Colorado River is a shared resource, so the solution needs to involve everybody.
This emergency declaration gives Nevada the federal resources we need to move quickly and aggressively on Hawk Fire recovery.
I commend Mike Dreitzer and the GCB for their diligent work to uphold Nevada’s longstanding regulatory standards, safeguard the integrity of our gaming industry, and ensure the public can continue to have confidence in its oversight.
