Today, Rep. Mark Amodei announced his retirement from Congress following a 15 year tenure. Over more than a decade of service, Amodei has quite the record to show for it. Check out some of his most memorable moments below.
While representing Northern Nevada in the House of Representatives, Mark Amodei:
<3 Served as Donald Trump’s Nevada campaign chair, helping to elect an election-denying, racist, demagogue who has since tanked Nevada’s economy, decimated our workforce, worsened the housing crisis, made health care more expensive, and enacted an erratic trade agenda that led to skyrocketing prices.
<3 Voted in favor of Trump’s Big Budget Betrayal that led to a new tax on gambling losses, a reversal of cost-saving tax incentives, and lower taxes for billionaires.
<3 Proposed a land grab hundreds of miles outside of his district in Clark County to pay for tax cuts for billionaires.
<3 Voted to repeal the Affordable Care Act, hoping to rip away lifesaving care from hundreds of thousands of Nevadans, end protections for preexisting conditions, and raise premium costs.
<3 Snitched on a teenage constituent to his principal after he urged Amodei to take action against gun violence.
<3 Donated to conspiracy theorist and election denier Annie Black’s failed campaign for Nevada Assembly *after* she made baseless claims of election fraud in Nevada.
<3 Voted to cut Medicare and turn it into a voucher system.
Nevada State Democratic Party spokesperson Kate Sosland released the following statement:
“From helping Donald Trump skyrocket costs to ripping away Nevadans’ health care in order to fund tax cuts for billionaires to snitching on a teenage constituent who disagreed with him, we can definitely say Mark Amodei left his mark on Nevada.”
