Protecting Our Environment and Combating Climate Change

Jacky has been a leader in the fight to tackle the climate crisis, transition to a clean energy economy, and protect Nevada’s public lands and natural resources.

Jacky was a decisive vote to pass the largest investment in our nation’s history to address the climate crisis. That legislation is now delivering historic funding to Nevada to combat the worsening effects of climate change, jumpstart more affordable clean energy, and make it easier to buy zero-emissions cars that cut harmful pollution and reduce our dependence on foreign oil. With abundant solar, wind, geothermal, and critical mineral resources, Nevada has an opportunity to be the national leader for good-paying clean energy jobs of the future.

Nevada has more jobs per capita in the solar industry than any other state, and that’s why Jacky has led the years-long fight in Congress against harmful solar tariffs. She has taken on both parties to fight against retroactive tariffs that would kill American solar jobs, raise energy costs, and undermine our path to clean energy independence.

More than 80% of Nevada’s land is owned and managed by the federal government, and Jacky has led the charge to protect millions of acres across Nevada for environmental conservation across the state. She was a strong supporter of designating Avi Kwa Ame as a National Monument in Southern Nevada, and now she is working with Senator Catherine Cortez Masto and Tribal communities on a push to protect Bahsahwahbee as a National Monument in Eastern Nevada. She recently introduced a widely supported bill to protect nearly 1 million acres of public land in Washoe County, creating new national conservation and wilderness areas to permanently protect them from development. In the Senate, Jacky has also secured critical federal resources to keep Lake Tahoe blue and pristine, and help protect Nevada from the effects of drought and wildfires.

Senator Rosen has a lifetime score of 97% from the League of Conservation Voters for her pro-environment voting record. She is also a proud member of the Bipartisan Climate Solutions Caucus.
