Vice President Harris visits Nevada to Highlight Economic Plan to Strengthen the Middle Class

Las Vegas, NV — Yesterday, Vice President Kamala Harris visited Las Vegas where she highlighted her plans to continue to bolster the economy and create jobs. As Vice President, Harris cast the deciding vote to pass the clean energy plan, tripling clean energy production and saving Americans $38 billion on electricity bills. The clean energy plan has already created more than 330,000 clean energy jobs across the country, including 20,448 jobs in Nevada—jobs that will be at risk if Trump is elected.
“Nevada is no stranger to the climate crisis and the toll that takes on Nevada families. As we sweat through the final days of September in triple-digit heat, after living through one of the deadliest summers in Las Vegas, it’s clear: It’s too hot not to vote,” said Angelyn Tabalba, Climate Power State Advisory Board member. “Kamala Harris cast the deciding vote on historic legislation to create jobs right here in Nevada, putting people to work and fighting pollution. Trump and his dangerous Project 2025 would mean higher prices, less jobs and dirtier air. We need leaders who stand up to Big Oil and put Nevadans first — and that’s exactly what Harris and Walz will do.”
Vice President Harris stands up for the middle class, fights for clean air and water, and puts the American people before Big Oil. As Attorney General, Kamala Harris secured over $50 million for taxpayers in settlements from Big Oil. As Senator, she introduced legislation to replace lead pipes and upgrade water infrastructure.. Kamala Harris understands that millions of Americans are feeling—and paying for—the impacts of extreme weather, from floods to heat to drought.
Trump, Vance, and their dangerous Project 2025 agenda would weaken the middle class, pollute our planet, and stop the clean energy boom in its tracks. Trump asked Big Oil executives to donate $1 billion to his campaign while promising to eliminate health and environmental protections and deliver them $110 billion in tax breaks. Project 2025 would gut climate science, end clean energy investments, open drilling on protected lands, increase energy costs, and hamstring the country’s ability to respond to weather disasters.
