Today, Governor Joe Lombardo again called on Congress to end the ongoing federal government shutdown and reaffirmed the State's commitment to supporting Nevadans affected by the impasse.

"Nevadans across the state are suffering from the federal shutdown," said Governor Joe Lombardo. "My administration is working to fill funding gaps and mitigate the impact wherever possible, but with paychecks paused and benefits in jeopardy, it's well past time for Democratic leadership in Congress to work with Republicans and the President to reopen the government."

Last week, the Office of the Governor briefed Nevada's federal delegation on the ongoing and potential impacts of the shutdown. Additionally, this afternoon, Governor Lombardo sent a letter to U.S. Senator Jacky Rosen urging her to join the bipartisan efforts to reopen the federal government.
