Consideration of my FY27 Homeland Security Bill resumes shortly.

As my final House Committee on Appropriations measure, I'm proud of what it produces for the American people because our communities and nation cannot thrive without confidence in our safety and security.

My FY27 Homeland Security House Committee on Appropriations bill advanced out of subcommittee this morning.

Our focus is ensuring our communities remain safe, secure, and resilient. This bill provides the resources to carry out that mission.

Dedicating your life to public safety is not an easy path to choose. National Police Week is a reminder of the incredible courage our law enforcement officers bring to work every single day, and the quiet sacrifices their families make alongside them.

To every officer in CD-2: thank you for answering the call. We stand behind you.

The White House Correspondents’ Dinner was another stark reminder of how dangerous the ongoing DHS shutdown truly is. Threats don’t pause when Congress fails to do its job.

I’m grateful the Secret Service acted swiftly to secure the scene, but the reality is they are operating with strained resources, limited support, and heightened tensions.

Their mission should be singular and uncompromised: protecting our leaders and the public. We must recognize the stakes, set aside the politics, and FULLY fund DHS.

A shooting outside the White House Correspondents' Dinner where Trump and Cabinet members gathered spotlights Secret Service funding shortfalls.

Today, House Committee on Appropriations heard from DHS agency leaders about their vision for FY27 and the resources needed to carry it out.

It served as a reminder that the essential work they do every day isn’t about party lines, it’s about delivering for constituents in every congressional district, including blue ones.

When it comes to the safety and security of the American people, there’s no room for political charades. Hopefully, we’ve learned a few lessons from the last rodeo and can handle things with a little more maturity this time around.

Yesterday, Nevada experienced a 5.7-magnitude earthquake. Being prepared for sudden strikes is imperative to public safety, even if it’s just a few seconds warning.

This year, I secured funding to expand the ShakeAlert early warning system into Nevada, which has proven effective in neighboring states.

Knowing our history, this may not be an isolated event. Have a plan, be prepared, and stay safe!

Great joining Phil MacDougall at the National Automobile Museum for the What Drives Reno podcast. We talked about my time in Congress and, of course, our shared love of cars.

Whether you’re a Reno local or visitor, it’s well worth a stop. Huge credit to the staff and volunteers who’ve made it such a success since 1989.

On this episode of What Drives Reno, your host Phil MacDougall interviews Congressman Mark Amodei!

While the House passed the FY26 Homeland Security bill for the second time yesterday, only 4 Democrats joined us in the effort to end the shutdown.

Its fate now rests in the Senate, and I urge our colleagues in the chamber next door to vote YES.

This shutdown does nothing but weaken our security preparedness and leave thousands of employees and servicemembers without paychecks.

The agency remains mostly unfunded despite a heightened terror threat.
