I am proud to represent Nevada’s 4th District & serve as Co-Chair of the Congressional @Labor_Caucus.

This Labor Day, let’s recommit to:
Fair wages
Safe working conditions
The right to organize & bargain
I’ll keep fighting every day to make sure Nevada’s workers are seen, respected & protected. #1u #LaborDay”
