Nevada Policy

Land & Water

Nevada’s future depends on economic growth, which is driven by resources currently held back by federal overreach. With Washington controlling roughly 85% of Nevada’s land and heavy regulations dictating water use, Nevadans are blocked from making the decisions that matter most to their communities and economy. Whether it means transferring federally controlled lands back to local hands or ensuring water rights are clearly defined and market-driven, less red tape leads to more opportunity.
