Delivering for Rural Nevada

Jacky is working across the aisle to deliver for Nevada’s rural communities. The Bipartisan Infrastructure Law she helped write and pass is bringing millions of dollars to upgrade and improve rural infrastructure – boosting rural schools, supporting smaller airports, investing in clean water projects, and expanding access to rural broadband.

Too many Nevadans in rural communities still can’t access quality, high-speed internet, which makes it harder to do everything from using telehealth services to running a small business or allowing kids to do their homework. That’s why Jacky helped secure hundreds of millions of dollars to connect nearly every hardworking family in Nevada – no matter where they live – to faster and more affordable internet.

She has also worked with Republicans and Democrats to introduce legislation that will improve access to medical care and telemedicine in rural communities. Her bipartisan bill to help fund more mobile health clinics in underserved areas was signed into law in 2022.

When it comes to mining, Jacky knows this industry is a critical part of Nevada’s rural economy and supports tens of thousands of good-paying jobs. She secured a bipartisan provision in the CHIPS and Science Law to strengthen Nevada’s critical mineral industry and mining workforce, and she helped introduce bipartisan legislation to protect critical mineral production in Nevada and across the West. She also pushed back on her party’s lack of support for domestic mining and critical mineral supply chains.

Nevada has a thriving agricultural economy in every part of the state, and Jacky has broken with her party to stand up for local farmers and ranchers. She voted against new regulations that threatened to harm Nevada ranchers, and she is helping lead a bipartisan effort to block a Biden Administration proposal that could harm Nevada cattlemen by allowing beef imports from Paraguay.
