Heller currently serves on the Energy and Natural Resources Committee; the Commerce Science, and Transportation Committee; and the Special Committee on Aging.
Dean has provided strong leadership for Nevada on issues such as mining, public lands access, and wildfire prevention. In both the House and the Senate, Heller has fought to defend private property rights and promote balanced public land management. He continues to be successful in moving public lands legislation beneficial to local communities throughout Nevada.
