LAS VEGAS (KSNV) — Nevada once again sprang forward on Sunday, losing an hour for Daylight Saving Time.

We are one of 48 states that still observe the practice, though it has faced scrutiny in recent years for the supposed health drawbacks that come from changing clocks.

An effort to end Daylight Saving Time in Nevada, effectively putting the state one hour behind other Pacific Coast states for most of the year, failed in the legislature last year.

As the Middle East conflict continues, politicians across the country are sharing their views on the situation.

On Sunday, Senator Mark Kelly (D-Arizona) paid a visit to Reno for a Democratic campaign fundraiser at the Neil Road Recreation Center.

At the event, he criticized the Trump administration’s actions.

“I think the president went into this conflict without having a strategic goal. Without having a plan and without having the timeline and what happens then is you don’t have a way to exit a conflict, so I’m really concerned about putting more Americans’ lives at risk with no explanation as to why,” said Kelly.

Nevada Gov. Joe Lombardo recently released a statement on the Iran attacks.

“Iran has long been a threat to the United States, Israel, and any hope of peace in the Middle East. They must never be allowed to obtain a nuclear weapon,” Lombardo said. “Right now, my priority is the safety of all Nevadans. Increased police presence may be seen at certain locations as we continue to monitor and synchronize with partners as the situation evolves.”

And prices at the pump are skyrocketing here in northern Nevada, and around the country. It’s partially due to traffic stalling in the Strait of Hormuz, a narrow waterway between Iran and Oman, which controls roughly 20% of the world’s oil supplies.

Energy Secretary Chris Wright aimed to ease concerns over rising costs.

“The world is very well supplied with oil right now. The United States is a net oil exporter, we’re a net natural gas exporter… We’re communicating with our allies abroad. The oil is there,” Wright said.

But Senator Kelly says gas prices could keep rising.

“This war in Iran is gonna drive up energy costs. Gasoline prices are gonna go up. Just driving down the road here, I noticed it was about $4.50 a gallon for a gallon of gasoline,” Kelly said.
