"After a free and fair election, our country enters a new era of leadership today under President Biden and Vice President Harris. I'm heartened by the actions the Biden Administration has already taken on day one and am prepared to work with the new administration to help move our country forward. I'm hopeful we can come together to pass comprehensive coronavirus relief legislation, revitalize our economy, reduce the impact of climate change, fix our broken immigration system, and address many of the other issues facing the Silver State. Today, I was honored to celebrate the historic nature of President Biden and Vice President Harris' inauguration, and I'll continue to ensure Nevada's priorities are front and center in the days ahead."
