When you are the head of any philanthropy organization, what you learn is empathy, how to listen and be responsive to people's needs.
Nevada is a small state. I think we're doing well trying to diversify and grow and understanding that it takes time. We're going to have to continue to do that while continuing to support the thing that we're most famous for, being the entertainment capital of the world.

In Congress, I have defended solar energy to safeguard the economic and environmental future of Nevada, and I will continue to do so.
Nevada contains an extraordinary diversity of outdoor landscapes and recreation experiences. Red Rock Canyon, Black Rock Desert, Lake Tahoe and the Great Basin are each a part of our history, our character and our way of life.
