Today, I was honored and humbled to have received the ‘Charles Dick Medal of Merit Award’ which was presented to me at the National Guard Association of the United States 143rd General Conference & Exhibition in Las Vegas.
While I am honored to be considered alongside Congressman Charles Dick – who was responsible for the passage of the Dick Acts of 1903 & 1908 that established the foundation of the modern National Guard – this award is not about me.
This award is about the incredible men and women who make up the @NVNationalGuard. I cannot think of how Nevada would have fared during the darkest days of the pandemic without the @NVNationalGuard - Or what we would be doing now as we fight wildfires in NNV.
I am eternally grateful for their service and sacrifice.  
Serving as Governor of the Great State of Nevada – and the commander in chief of the @NVNationalGuard – continues to be the honor of my lifetime.

Today, I am glad to be joined by State officials and representatives from the @NVNationalGuard, @NVEmergencyMgmt, @NevDCNR, and more in order to provide updates on NV’s preparations & response to the #CaldorFire. Follow my live press conference here: fb.watch/7KcxHcIkC5/
First and foremost, on behalf of the great State of Nevada, I would like to thank our brave first responders, local government agencies, and nonprofit entities who continue to go above and beyond to assist our communities during these trying times.
I just finished a briefing with representatives across the Nevada State government, and our federal delegation @MarkAmodeiNV2 and representatives from @SenJackyRosen and @SenCortezMasto’s office. I want to thank them for their leadership.

Good afternoon, I wanted to provide some updates for Nevadans as it relates to three requests I made to my Medical Advisory Team. You can follow along my live press conference through @ClarkCountyNV’s YouTube stream here:
Before I provide those updates, I wanted to take a moment to share some encouraging news.

Nevada administered 1,210 doses per 100,000 people last week, 19.3% higher than the national average. Let’s keep it up!
NV administered 1,210 doses per 100,000 people last week, 19.3% higher than the national avg. NV was also first to reinstate indoor masking in areas of substantial & high transmission regardless of vaccination status & we are now seeing a slowing of #COVID19 growth in our State.

Today, I was proud to see the first meeting of the State Infrastructure Bank Board take place.

This State-led initiative aims at providing fast-track, much-needed infrastructure projects across the State and create thousands of good-paying jobs right here in Nevada.
I would like to thank Treasurer @Zconine, @NevGOE Director @davidbobzien, @DiversifyNevada Director Michael Brown, @NevadaDBI Director Terry J. Reynolds, & @Nevadadot Director Kristina Sallow for their continued leadership & for making today’s meeting possible.
I first called for the creation of this State Infrastructure Bank during my #NVSOTS & thanks to the passing of #SB430 by the #NVLeg, we have further facilitated our ability to invest in our infrastructure and create real jobs for real Nevadans.

Good evening & thank you for joining me today as I provide a few very important updates regarding our State’s mitigation measures. You can view the live stream of my updates here: rtmp://a.rtmp.youtube.com/live2
On April 5, we opened up vaccine eligibility to all Nevadans 16 & older & I remain incredibly proud of the continued federal, state & local partnerships that are helping us increase access, focus on equity & ensure that Nevadans are protected.
As of today, about 40% of Nevadans 16 & older have started the vaccine process & 25% of Nevadans 16 & older are fully vaccinated. This is tremendous news – but we are not done yet - We will continue working around the clock to make sure we are reaching Nevadans where they are at.

Today I will be providing important updates on Nevada's COVID-19 response. Follow along on twitter & click the link below to tune in now: youtube.com/channel/UC3DFs…
First: an update on vaccinations. A little over a month ago I asked @NVNationalGuard, @NVEmergencyMgmt & the State Immunization Team to work together to identify challenges and implement solutions. The progress and results have been remarkable.
Earlier this week, FEMA released a report saying that, “Nevada continues to perform among the top in the country in administering the states allocation of vaccine.”

Today, I am pleased to once again be joined by Candice McDaniel and Shannon Bennett, from the State’s immunization program. You can view the live stream of my updates here: youtube.com/channel/UC3DFs…
Before I begin, I want to take a brief moment of silence to honor the Capitol Police officers who lost their lives as a result of the mob that stormed the U.S. Capitol building last week. These men spent their lives protecting the halls of our democracy.
As I said last week, the chaos that erupted at the U.S. Capitol was the opposite of patriotic. It was undemocratic and un-American.
