Statement from John Hambrick:
As anyone who has ever participated in a Nevada Legislative Session knows, the workload, stress, and time pressure frays both nerves and emotions. Given how hard we have all worked to keep up an unprecedented legislative pace, physical and emotion strain is to be expected. Sometimes emotions get the better of us. But we cannot let these moments distract us from our jobs or our duties.
Recently, the media reported on a verbal altercation between Assemblywoman Seaman and Assemblyman Hansen during a private caucus meeting.
While Assembly Republican Leadership normally does not publicly comment on what takes place in caucus meetings, we make the rare exception now. Neither we nor any members of our caucus condone threatening language—intended or otherwise—at any time or in any place.
We are resolving the matter internally, and we will continue to work together to pass good law. We are proud of our legislative achievements so far, and we do not intend to let up until the last moment of the last day of the session.
