The City of Reno and the Reno City Council have issued the following statement regarding the passing of U.S. Senator Harry Reid:

On behalf of all of us at the City of Reno, today we send our deepest condolences to the family and friends of U.S. Senator Harry Reid. Our heart goes out especially to his wife, Landra. Senator Reid’s political contributions to our state are beyond significant, but above all, he was a wonderful family man. 

“To say that Harry Reid was an incredible Nevadan is an understatement. There is perhaps no one individual who left a bigger mark on the Silver State. He fought for Nevada, and made our state more relevant on the national stage than ever before. We can thank Senator Reid for many of the things that make Nevada and Reno great places to live, including our economic diversity and protecting our public lands. His service to Nevada is truly remarkable, and it was an honor to know him,” Reno Mayor Hillary Schieve said.

We stand today with our Governor and all Nevadans in mourning this exceptional leader, who epitomizes the Silver State’s fighting spirit and everything it stands for.
