Titus, Lee, Horsford Say No to Over $16 Million for Nevada Roads, Schools, Safety

Democrats Dina Titus, Susie Lee, and Steven Horsford are facing mounting scrutiny after voting against more than $16 million in Community Project Funding for Nevada. Real money. Real projects. Real communities left hanging.

This was not some abstract budget fight. These were locally targeted investments aimed squarely at public safety, infrastructure preservation, transportation, and community services across Southern Nevada. And Nevada Democrats said no.

Start with Susie Lee, who voted against more than $4.55 million in funding for projects across her district. That includes $1.2 million for CC-215 Trail Bridges in Summerlin, $2 million to preserve SR-159, and $850,000 for Opportunity Village’s Northwest Campus in Las Vegas. Add in funding for bus shelters and critical airport fire and rescue infrastructure at Harry Reid International Airport. Lee rejected all of it.

These were projects designed to improve safety, reduce congestion, protect families, and strengthen local infrastructure. Lee voted no anyway. Washington politics over Nevada priorities.

Then there is Dina Titus, who voted against more than $8.88 million in Community Project Funding. Her no vote killed investments in airport tram replacement, school zone safety improvements, major road preservation projects, bike share expansion, and energy resilience upgrades. From Boulder City to Clark County, Titus blocked funding that would have delivered immediate and visible benefits to Nevada communities.

Public safety. Transportation. Infrastructure. All left on the cutting room floor.

Finally, Steven Horsford voted against more than $3.2 million in funding for Nevada projects. That included airport emergency response facilities, downtown rehabilitation in Tonopah, road preservation, school safety improvements, and lighting upgrades. Projects meant to protect travelers, students, and working families were dismissed with a single vote.

The pattern is impossible to ignore.

These Democrats did not vote against waste or pork. They voted against local priorities that Nevada communities asked for. Funding that would have gone directly back home. Funding that would have made roads safer, airports more secure, schools safer for kids, and neighborhoods stronger.

Instead, Titus, Lee, and Horsford chose radical Democrats’ ideology over Nevada’s needs.

At a time when families are demanding safer streets, better infrastructure, and accountability from their elected officials, Nevada Democrats delivered the opposite. They voted no on $16 million that would have directly improved life in the Silver State.
