Governor Sisolak ARCHIVE @GovSisolak

I am proud that this piece of legislation, presented by members of my staff and DETR, received near unanimous support in both houses of the Legislature. Today, I am signing this bill into law so we can immediately move forward with these changes. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Sisolak ARCHIVE @GovSisolak

That's why we put forward legislation (SB3) which will help provide more flexibility to DETR to help connect claimants to benefits faster and will extend the number of weeks Nevadans are eligible for additional benefits through this crisis, using only federal funds. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Sisolak ARCHIVE @GovSisolak

But while there has been some progress made, due to the historic, unprecedented, and overwhelming nature of our current situation, we know there is so much more that needs to be done. And I know there are still many, many more claimants waiting for resolution of their claims. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Sisolak ARCHIVE @GovSisolak

Nevada has the highest unemployment rate in the nation, and yet we are paying roughly 90 percent of the eligible traditional unemployment insurance claims each week. The State has also paid more than 120,000 pandemic unemployment assistance claims. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Sisolak ARCHIVE @GovSisolak

I want you to know, I hear you. I am listening and I am taking action. One individual, one family going without benefits they deserve and need to pay the bills, put food on the table, is one too many. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Sisolak ARCHIVE @GovSisolak

Thanks for joining me today, Nevada. I'm here to talk about immediate action being taken to find solutions and reduce the backlog for those eligible Nevadans who still have not received their benefits under the state’s unemployment compensation system. Follow along here. — PolitiTweet.org

The press conference will begin shortly. Please tune in. — PolitiTweet.org

Today, I issued the following statement after the conclusion of the 32nd Special Session of the Nevada Legislature. https://t.co/JCkQCQmcUj — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Sisolak ARCHIVE @GovSisolak

Thank you @Ohrenschall4NV for calling to inform me the Nevada Senate has completed the work of the 32nd Special Legislative Session. I appreciate the hard work of all our lawmakers this past week. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Sisolak ARCHIVE @GovSisolak

Thank you @JasonFrierson for calling to let me know the Nevada Assembly has finished the business of the 32nd Special Legislative Session. I appreciate your hard work and leadership. — PolitiTweet.org

This proclamation enhances work already being done by the State’s Office of Minority Health & Equity, which was initially created in '05 & expanded in '17. The Office engages communities statewide to promote health equity & combat health disparities through advocacy & education. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Sisolak ARCHIVE @GovSisolak

I am grateful to be joined by the Nevada Legislature in recognizing that racism manifests in measurable ways, including in public health. I look forward to working with Nevada leaders and the Office of Minority Health and Equity on this critical issue. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Sisolak ARCHIVE @GovSisolak

Institutional and systemic racism has gone on far too long in this country and in this State. Based on research, we are taking a proactive approach in joining fellow leaders around the country to declare racism as a public health crisis. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Sisolak ARCHIVE @GovSisolak

Today, I issued a proclamation to name racism as a public health crisis. Given our diverse population as a minority, majority state, this call to action raises awareness so Nevada does not perpetuate poor health outcomes due to systemic racism during & after the pandemic. https://t.co/vKSoU2knqR — PolitiTweet.org

Thank you @trboxing fighter @oscarvaldez56 for reminding our communities about taking to proper precautions against #COVID19 — PolitiTweet.org

I am proud the Nevada State Library Workforce Recovery Partnership Project will be highlighted tomorrow as part of the American Library Association’s nationwide virtual tour. This project is exactly the kind of tool we need as we work to get Nevada families back on their feet. https://t.co/yoLpYkeGYS — PolitiTweet.org

Contact tracing helps identify new cases of #COVID19. Please, provide as much information as possible to help slow the spread. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Sisolak ARCHIVE @GovSisolak

Thank you, @andersoncooper, for allowing me to set the record straight on the legislation I signed Monday which supports the safest, most accessible election possible under these unprecedented circumstances. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Sisolak ARCHIVE @GovSisolak

Tonight, I join @andersoncooper to discuss the recent election legislation I signed into law yesterday. This is a common sense public health measure. Please tune in on @CNN https://t.co/ywznJ2Ko4s — PolitiTweet.org

Thank you @nevadadot for helping keep Nevada safe! #MaskUpNV — PolitiTweet.org

Thank you, Senator @Ben_Kieckhefer, for your support. We know that together, we will get through this. #BattleBorn — PolitiTweet.org

Today, the Nevada Grant Office released a new report tracking federal COVID-19 dollars. I appreciate their work to ensure Nevadans have a one-stop source to understand the details of this critical aid. The report will be published on Thursdays here: https://t.co/EvybDEHcht — PolitiTweet.org

Nevadans who need short-term rental assistance can go online at https://t.co/1yugU5zKDX for more information and to apply. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Sisolak ARCHIVE @GovSisolak

Make no mistake, NV: we are in a precarious position. I promise you, I will give you all I have: my energy, resources, focus & my best efforts, to walk this tightrope between your personal health & financial sustainability, but to get this done, we all need to be in it together. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Sisolak ARCHIVE @GovSisolak

We can do both: we can mitigate the spread and avoid harming businesses that are doing their part, but only if we all commit to it. I implore you to remain as vigilant as ever. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Sisolak ARCHIVE @GovSisolak

If Nevadans begin to relax their efforts and take this less seriously, this targeted approach will not work, and will lead our state backward which could ultimately lead once again to broad-based closures and limitations. I don’t want that, and neither do all of you. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Sisolak ARCHIVE @GovSisolak

If Nevadans continue to wear face coverings as is mandated, along with practicing aggressive social distancing, this targeted approach should work and will allow more sectors of our economy to remain open. — PolitiTweet.org
