I am very proud of my 100% voting
record. My decisions are always based on input from my
constituents – the residents of District 18."
In 10 years of legislative service ---
encompassing five regular and two special sessions –Mark
has never missed a vote on a bill. Mark continues to
fight for issues and interests which affect the families
who live in District 18: education, crime, seniors’
issues, veterans, women and children, health care and
the economy.
During the last legislative session, Mark was the
primary sponsor of nine bills, and co-sponsored another
12 bills, more than half of which became new laws. (See
highlight box.) He was one of only six legislators
honored by the Nevada Conservation League for a perfect
voting record on environmental issues during the 2003
legislative session.
Perhaps the most significant achievement of the 2003
session was the passage of AB 7, which toughened
Nevada’s drunk driving laws by lowering the legal blood
alcohol level to .08. The measure also saved the State
of Nevada $28.4 million in federal highway funds. It was
the seventh time that Mark introduced such legislation.
"The passage of AB 7 shows the importance of
continuing to fight for what’s right for Nevada. It is a
very good feeling to have introduced important
legislation that will save lives."
Mark is a recognized leader in the Nevada
Legislature. He has served as the Assembly Majority Whip
for the last two sessions, and served as Chairman of the
Government Affairs Committee since 2003. He has served
as Vice Chair of three other committees during his
legislative career. In addition, Mark was selected as
Chairman of the Legislative Commission’s Interim
Subcommittee to Study Misdemeanors in 2001.
