Senator Jacky Rosen announced that Nevada law enforcement will receive over $3.4 million to combat illicit drug trafficking and address the overdose epidemic. This funding is part of a broader effort to secure the border and stop the flow of deadly drugs like fentanyl. Representative Sharice Davids and Representative Emanuel Cleaver also announced $15.9 million in federal grants to help the Midwest High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area (HIDTA) stop illicit drug trafficking. The fentanyl crisis has worsened under Joe Biden, despite a decrease in overdose deaths in 2023. Senator Catherine Cortez Masto emphasized the need to combat fentanyl trafficking to reduce fatal overdoses.
The Reno-Tahoe Airport is at the front lines of the fight to stop human trafficking. That's why I passed a law to boost resources for airport anti-trafficking efforts that we know save lives. I'll always stand up for survivors and law enforcement working to keep travelers safe. https://t.co/fiihkCCiu1
Fentanyl is flowing from our southern border to communities across the country-including Iowa. I hosted a roundtable yesterday with local law enforcement and Andrea Gacki, from the U.S. Department of Treasury, to discuss how fentanyl is paid for & funneled through our communities https://t.co/f78Qt5u5c0
Improvements at Southern Nevada airports promise snowball effect of economic benefits https://t.co/2QNo4qesM6
Air travel is integral to Southern Nevada’s growing economy. That’s why I helped write an FAA Reauthorization bill which improves the air travel experience. I also secured funding to ensure @FlyHNDairport can meet our region’s growing general aviation needs. https://t.co/tXrtfIpjnF
At today’s OH-11 Small Business Expo I spoke on the small business boom taking place under the Biden-Harris Administration and the surge in Black entrepreneurship - and the policies that are making it happen. https://t.co/3tsdzx9opY
In NV, small businesses are the lifeblood of our economy, making up over 99% of all businesses. I joined @UnidosUSAF in a conversation with Latino small business owners in Las Vegas to hear about the challenges they’re facing & how I can continue fighting for them in Congress. https://t.co/PGfVth1nST
Too many Nevadans have lost their lives to fatal overdoses. As I continue to fight to combat fentanyl trafficking in the Senate, I'm pleased to see the Biden Admin. is delivering critical support to our law enforcement to crack down on fentanyl flowing into our communities.
A record number of drugs, including fentanyl, have made their way into our communities via the southern border under Joe Biden. The crisis is getting undeniably worse. I will continue to fight against #AmericaLast policies.
While overdose deaths decreased for the first time in five years in 2023, we must do more to keep our communities safe from drugs like fentanyl. Happy to join @RepDavids in announcing $15.9M in federal funding to help @MidwestHIDTA crack down on drug trafficking & save lives. https://t.co/7jnVxWIJuH
Yesterday, I had the opportunity to speak with local labor leaders at a Labor Roundtable. As a member of the Congressional Labor Caucus, I will continue to fight for legislation that empowers workers & protects their hard-earned benefits. Thank you to @LIUNA for helping us host! https://t.co/QIIDO3VRkR
In our state and across the nation, the fentanyl crisis demands urgent action. @repcleaver and I just announced $15.9M in federal grants to help @MidwestHIDTA stop illicit drug trafficking and keep folks in our region safe.
In Congress, I’m fighting every day to bring back the resources southern Nevadans need. This week, I was proud to secure $850,000 for local volunteer tax assistance clinics to upgrade their facilities and better serve low and moderate income families. https://t.co/KVROugxdqg
Proud to announce NV law enforcement will receive more than $3.4M to crack down on illicit drug trafficking & help address the overdose epidemic. I’ll keep working across the aisle to secure our border, stop the flow of deadly drugs like fentanyl, & support law enforcement.
Thank you @LVChamber for inviting me to speak this morning at Eggs & Issues! I will continue to work hard in Washington D.C. to ensure our business community has the resources it needs to make Southern Nevada’s economy thrive. https://t.co/WeMsy1yT9w
