Governor Lombardo Advances Nevada’s Top Priorities During Productive Washington, D.C. Visit

CARSON CITY, NV - February 23, 2026

Governor Joe Lombardo returned to Nevada following a series of high-level meetings in Washington, D.C., where he advanced key priorities and strengthened federal partnerships critical to Nevada's growth. During his visit, Governor Lombardo met with senior officials in the Trump administration and fellow governors from across the country to discuss solutions on attainable housing, responsible federal land management, energy development, expanded trade opportunities, and efforts to expand economic development. The Governor's meetings focused on delivering real results for Nevada families, businesses, and communities.

"Nevada cannot afford to sit on the sidelines when federal decisions directly impact our economy, our land, and our future," said Governor Lombardo. "In Washington, I made it clear that Nevada is ready to lead. We had productive conversations about housing, federal lands, trade, and tourism, and I am confident that by maintaining open lines of communication with the Trump Administration, we can spur results for the people of our state."

Governor Lombardo's visit was highlighted by meetings with Sara Carter, Director of the Office of National Drug Control Policy; Scott Turner, Secretary of Housing and Urban Development; and a roundtable discussion with Department of the Interior Secretary Doug Burgum, Department of Energy Secretary Chris Wright, and U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer.
