Opinion: Combating drought and promoting sustainability in Southern Nevada
Everyone in the West knows that we’re living through a historic, two-decade drought. The climate crisis is making droughts worse, putting pressure on all of us to use the water we have more wisely. When I was elected, I knew confronting water issues would be one of my top priorities. I’m doing everything I can in the U.S. Senate to help my hometown and all Western communities address drought and water shortages.
