Friends,
During
session I fought so hard to pass AB 167, which will
now allow foster parents who have a concealed carry permit to keep guns and
ammunition in their home and to carry a gun on their person while with a
child
outside the home. Unfortunately, the
Nevada Department of Family Services (DFS) has over reached and taken away
Kristen
and Rod Beber’s foster license because Rod was holding a gun in the
name of
self-defense. Kristin and Rod are two genuinely good-hearted people who
have
opened their home to over a hundred foster children. To see the DFS take
away
their right to protect themselves and their family because in their opinion
Rod
was not acting as “an adult exercising sound judgment” is
crushing. This is an
example of the State over reaching and, frankly, being a bully just to show
that they have power. I will continue to be a voice for the Beber family
and
all foster families who want to have their right to self defend
protected!
You can
read more on
the Beber family story here.
The last few
weeks I have been out of the office spending
time with my family, friends and peers.
As many of you know, I have fully
endorsed Senator Ted Cruz
as the next President of the United States. A couple of weeks ago I had
Senator
Ted Cruz as a guest on “Walk the Talk with Michele Fiore”. I
had such an amazing time talking with the
Senator about his plans to make America a restored and stronger nation. If
you missed the show, you can listen here: http://votefiore.com/walk-talk-michele-fiore/
After my interview with Ted Cruz I
headed over to Attorney
General Adam Laxalt’s Inaugural Basque Fry in the charming Northern
Nevada town
of Gardnerville. I can’t think of a better way to spend a Saturday
afternoon
than surrounded by great food, friends and conversation! Click here
to see my interview with Sam Shad!
The Active
Republican Women hosted another marvelous Hot
August Nights event on the 22. This is always a great way to end the
summer,
and I look forward to attending again next year!

Sue Lowden
threw an incredible welcome home from Carson City
party for Assemblywomen Shelly Shelton, Victoria Seaman and myself. I
cannot
say thank you enough to Sue Lowden, her entire hosting committee and
everyone
who attended; it truly means the world to me to have so much support on the
home front.
After a quick trip to Washington
D.C., I headed back to
Nevada for a “staycation” with my daughters in Las Vegas; we
spent the night at
Hotel 32 in the Monte Carlo, caught the latest Amy Schumer movie, Train
Wreck, and
then finished with lunch at Paymon’s. My family is the number one
priority in
my life, and I always like to set aside a few days to really bond and make
some
memories together with my girls.

Before closing I wanted to put a
couple of items on your
calendar.
First, the Injured Police
Officer’s Fund is commending the
Nevada Law Enforcement Community with the “Heroes Live Forever”
dinner party at
the Four Seasons Hotel on September 16. Join me in honoring all of the
brave
men and women whohave lost their lives while protecting our communities
across Nevada. You can learn more about this event here.
Last, but not least, don’t
forget to tune in this Saturday,
from 9am – 10am, on KDWN 720 AM for another great episode of
“Walk the Talk with Michele Fiore”!
Yours
truly,
|
