All asylum seekers at our border should remind us that we are a nation of immigrants and that we were once strangers at the border.

We must not repeat the same mistakes, or commit the same cruelties that were done in the past.

There's no question that Nevada has overwhelmingly benefited from the rise of solar energy technology.

Israel is a country with a thriving free press and a nation known across the world for its support of women's and LGBT rights, not one that should face sanctions by a supposedly peace-loving world body.

In addition to sponsoring the Defend Israel Act, I am a proud co-sponsor of the Israel Anti-Boycott Act, which will protect the state of Israel from politically motivated attacks in the United Nations and economic discrimination here in the United States.

As a member of Congress representing Southern Nevada, I am always advocating for our tourism industry, talking about our millions of annual visitors, and reminding folks in Washington, D.C., that we are the entertainment capital of the world.

When most people think about Nevada, they often instantly associate us with the glitz and glamour of the Las Vegas Strip.

There are plenty of ways we can work together to improve the ACA, but destroying the law and leaving Americans at risk is unacceptable.

Health care is one of the top kitchen table issues in Nevada.

As a member of the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pensions, I will continue to work to bring resources, accountability and relief to our health care system.

We cannot allow the Trump administration to invalidate our nation's health care law.

I have a wonderful synagogue, fantastic rabbi and cantor and membership, and they just enrich my life every day, and I learned so much from helping to grow our synagogue, grow our membership, and meet the needs of such a diverse population.

Of course, being the synagogue president, for me it was a great blessing.

I'm the granddaughter of immigrants.

I'm not a politician. I'm not a career politician.

I'm going to try to give people someone to vote for instead of something to vote against.

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.

Let's not forget, we are all one diagnosis away from having a pre-existing condition.

For a country constantly threatened by missiles, rockets and mortar shells from terrorist groups like Hezbollah and Hamas, security is not only a gravely important issue, but is the most critical issue. That's why I introduced the Defend Israel Act as one of my first pieces of legislation.

I'm a woman in technology, I think that we have to consider our border and use the technology we have to be sure that we secure it. If you build a six foot wall, somebody may jump eight feet. But, maybe there's surveillance... there's many high tech things that we can use to be sure we are protecting our borders.

I applaud Lt. Gov. Mark Hutchison and the legislators in the Nevada State Senate who have introduced SB 26 to fight the BDS movement in Nevada.
