Rep. Mark Amodei Betrays Nevadans, Violates “Red Line” and Votes to Put Over 15,000 Clean Energy Jobs in Nevada’s 2nd District on the Chopping Block

Nevada — Today, Rep. Mark Amodei voted for House Republicans’ extreme budget reconciliation bill—legislation that repeals America’s clean energy investments and strips critical resources from Nevadan families, all while delivering new tax handouts to billionaires and big corporations. With a vote of 215-214, every vote cast by Republican members of Congress was a deciding vote that propelled this legislation forward.
Despite having previously declared a “red line” against doing so, Rep. Amodei’s vote directly threatens $11.1 billion in clean energy investment and 15,010 good-paying clean energy jobs in Nevada’s 2nd Congressional District by repealing the clean energy tax credits of 2022. Rep. Amodei is now putting corporate giveaways ahead of Nevadan workers, manufacturers, and families.
“Rep. Amodei and House Republicans just voted to create an American energy crisis. These same members have celebrated ribbon cuttings, touted new projects, and promised to protect the very investments they just voted to eliminate. This is a reckless betrayal of their constituents, done to appease Donald Trump and billionaire donors,” said Climate Power Executive Director Lori Lodes. “But this fight isn’t over. Senate Republicans have made it clear the House bill is unacceptable. Every single House member who voted to risk jobs in their districts, drive up costs, and threaten made-in-America energy will have to answer for that vote back home.”
The GOP bill would raise energy costs $289 in Nevada and devastate American clean energy manufacturing while ripping away health care from millions and driving up the deficit—all to pay for another round of tax cuts for the ultra-wealthy.
According to Climate Power’s April 2025 Clean Energy Jobs Report, Nevada’s 2nd District has already seen:
- 8 new clean energy projects
- $11.1 billion in expected new clean energy investment over the last three years
- 15,010 new clean energy jobs announced
Republicans’ extreme bill will put all these gains at risk by gutting clean energy tax incentives, creating an American energy crisis. Since President Trump’s election, Nevada’s 2nd District has already seen one project totaling $2 billion in investment threatened as a result of Trump’s tariffs and war on clean energy.
