Wins for Nevadans
When I ran for this office, I pledged to always work for a brighter Nevada for all, and that was my guiding star during my first term of office. The bills I introduced were intended to make that promise a reality: I introduced bills to tackle our out of control class sizes, make our diplomas more meaningful, make sure our kids were learning real world skills, address climate change in Nevada, and to protect the basic rights of all Nevadans. I am incredibly proud of the work I undertook on behalf of our community and committed to continuing this work during the 2025 session and beyond!
In spite of all that we accomplished we still have a lot of work to do. With a record 75 vetoes, Governor Lombardo rejected an unprecedented number of bills meant to make life better for all Nevadans. Here are some of the most disappointing vetoes of the session:
Almost every housing bill passed this session was vetoed. That includes protections for tenants, a cap on outrageous rental fees, required transparency from landlords, rent stabilization for seniors, and a fix for our outdated summary eviction process.
Three common sense gun safety measures, meant to keep our children and communities safe, were all vetoed by the Governor last session. These included raising the age to purchase an assault rifle to 21, banning firearms in polling places, and removing access to firearms for those convicted of a hate crime.
Nearly every bill meant to address climate change or protect Nevadans from harmful chemicals in our homes and environment was vetoed by the governor.
The governor vetoed a bill that would cap the cost of prescription drug costs to ensure that all Nevadans, ensuring that Nevadans will continue to struggle to pay for their life saving medication
A bill to allow our colleagues in the Nevada System of Higher Education to collectively bargain and ensure a fair wage for fair work died on the governor’s desk.
