Democratic Party Response
Nevada State Democratic Party spokesperson Kate Sosland commented on Amodei’s career, stating: “From helping Donald Trump skyrocket costs to ripping away Nevadans’ health care in order to fund tax cuts for billionaires to snitching on a teenage constituent who disagreed with him, we can definitely say Mark Amodei left his mark on Nevada.”
