Women, minorities to shape new Congress and Nevada delegation
By Gary Martin / Las Vegas Review-Journal November 7, 2018 - 7:04 pm Updated November 7, 2018 - 11:21 pmNevada’s new congressional delegation mirrors the new face of Congress following the election of an historic number of women and minorities in the House and Senate. Just two years ago, Nevada elected the first Latina to serve in the Senate. This week, the state doubled down and voted to promote Jacky Rosen of Las Vegas from the House to join Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto, D-Nev., to represent Nevada in the august chamber. “We will now have not one, but two women representing Nevada in the United States Senate,” Rosen told her supporters following a hard-fought win over Republican incumbent Sen. Dean Heller of Smith Valley. “And for the first time in Nevada history, we will now have a majority female congressional delegation,” Rosen said. Nevada elected Susie Lee, a Democrat, to replace Rosen in the House. And Las Vegas Democrat Rep. Dina Titus, the dean of the state’s congressional delegation, was re-elected. Titus moves up the Democratic leadership ladder by about 50 spots, and will likely chair the Transportation and Infrastructure subcommittee on economic development. Titus said the full committee is important for her Las Vegas district, with authorization over funding for airport expansion and efforts to build Interstate 11 connecting the city to Phoenix and the southern border. As a member of the Democratic House Steering and Policy Committee, Titus will advise party leaders on legislative and policy positions and tactics. read more Nevadans have spoken letters - LAS VEGAS REVIEW JOURNAL
Richard Kimmell Las Vegas November 7, 2018 - 11:31 pm The election is over, and the people of Nevada have spoken. But here’s the thing: If you voted straight Democrat, I don’t want to hear any squawking this time next year when your property taxes (or rent rates) have increased, your tuition has gone up, it costs more to fill your gas tank, the price of the goods and services you purchase has risen and it has become even harder to navigate through the red tape if you want to open a business, gain an occupational license, seek any government records or get an appointment with your doctor. This is what you voted for. read more |
