As the Representative of Nevada’s Third District, I am committed to fighting on behalf of the needs of my constituents and my community.  As the Transportation and Infrastructure Committee works on the Fiscal Year 2010 Surface Transportation Reauthorization bill, I will be fighting for the projects and priorities we must address to improve Southern Nevada’s roads and highways.  Below is the list of projects I have requested funding for through this important legislation.
