Laxalt Doubles Down On Opposition to Bipartisan Infrastructure Investment and Jobs for Nevadans
As corrupt, failed politician Adam Laxalt launched his bid to represent Nevadans in the Senate this week, he quickly reminded voters that has no interest in truly representing them and their economic well-being and is actually a “threat to Nevada jobs.”
After Nevada’s largest labor leaders denounced him, Laxalt doubled down on his opposition to the historic Bipartisan Infrastructure Deal.
Reminder – the Bipartisan Infrastructure Deal would invest over $3 billion into Nevada’s economy and create thousands of jobs. Laxalt’s “no vote” would be voting against:
- $2.5 billion for federal-aid highway apportioned programs;
- $225 million for bridge replacement and repairs;
- $459 million to improve public transportation options across the state;
- $38 million to support the expansion of an EV charging network;
- At least $100 million to help provide broadband coverage across the state, including providing access to the at least 123,000 Nevadans residents who currently lack it;
- $403 million in water infrastructure funding that could provide water for 500,000 households;
- $8.6 million to prevent and control wildfires.

Statement from Senior Communications Advisor Andy Orellana:
“The passage of the bipartisan infrastructure bill will deliver historic investments for Nevada’s economic future, but Adam Laxalt would’ve stood with the far-right fringes of his party in trying to kill the plan. Laxalt’s doubling down on his opposition to creating new jobs across our state, tells Nevadans everything they need to know about his priorities.”
