The Retail Association of Nevada (RAN) today issued the following statement in response to the bipartisan efforts spearheaded by Assemblyman Howard Watts and J.J. Goicoechea, Director of the Nevada Department of Agriculture, to address the ongoing egg supply chain challenges impacting Nevada families and businesses. 

"Nevada's retailers are grateful for the leadership of Assemblyman Watts and Director Goicoechea in expediting a solution that allows our state to access additional egg markets," said Bryan Wachter, Senior Vice President of the Retail Association of Nevada. "These efforts will provide much-needed relief to Nevadans who rely on affordable, high-quality protein products." 

RAN is encouraged by the collaboration of state leaders and expects to see this solution expedited in the early days of the legislative session with the support of Speaker Steve Yeager, Senate Majority Leader Nicole Cannizzaro, Senate Minority Leader Robin Titus, Assembly Minority Leader Gregory Hafen, and Governor Joe Lombardo. Their commitment to addressing this immediate crisis demonstrates a shared dedication to all of Nevada’s residents and businesses.

"This is an important first step to addressing future supply chain challenges, and we look forward to working with legislative leaders to develop long-term solutions that prevent future disruptions and build a resilient supply chain that protects Nevada’s communities and economy,” Wachter said.
