Las Vegas is an international city that thrives on tourism from all around the world. I am committed to using my position on the Foreign Affairs Committee to build strong relationships between Southern Nevada and foreign nations, which helps create jobs in our community. 

I strongly believe that diplomacy must be the foundation of U.S. foreign policy. The United States has a stronger position on the world stage when we stand with our allies to confront global challenges. On urgent issues ranging from counterterrorism to nuclear proliferation, and climate change to human rights advocacy, the United States must mobilize our international partners to meet the challenges of the 21st century.
