The Nevada Progress Report grades legislators representing you in the Nevada Senate and Assembly. We also grade Governor Lombardo on his actions taken on the bills we used to grade legislators.
These bills aren’t everything that passed or died in Carson City, just a narrowed-down list of just some of our priorities. We narrowed down the bills we worked on to a little over a dozen bills to grade legislators and Governor Lombardo on.
Each bill got either a point for (the good bills) or a point against (the bad bills). An elected official then gets that point given or taken away based on their vote. That total informed whether an elected official passed or failed.
2023 OVERVIEW
2023 saw not one but three sessions overall: a regular session and two special sessions back-to-back. We saw significant progress spearheaded by Senate Majority Leader Nicole Cannizzaro and Speaker of the Assembly Steve Yeager and legislators who drafted and championed new laws to help make Nevada a better place. We also saw Republicans and Governor Lombardo obstruct important capital improvement funding which led us to a special session and a bipartisan deal to once again have the public pay for a sports stadium in Las Vegas.
Join Battle Born Progress — the work doesn’t finish when the session is over – sign up to be informed and involved on how to make Nevada a better place for all of us.
Why we do this…
It is imperative that we hold both legislators and the Governor accountable for their votes on key issues like housing affordability, prescription drug costs, healthcare, climate policies, reproductive care, and more.
That’s why we created this progress report. So, use this as a guide to see how your state elected officials performed in 2023!
