Known for her commitment to bipartisan efforts and community involvement, Perez has been active in addressing various issues pertinent to her constituents.

On January 28, 2025, Rep. Perez announced her support for the "No Corruption in Gov't Act," which she co-sponsored with Rep. Zach Nunn. The proposed legislation aims to address self-dealing within government by implementing several measures: "Banning Congressional stock trading, tripling the ban on lobbying after leaving office, and halting automatic pay raises for Congress." She emphasized that serving in Congress should focus on delivering results for the public.

The following day, January 29, 2025, Rep. Perez expressed her appreciation for corrections officers during a visit to Clark County Jail. She highlighted their crucial role in maintaining the judicial system and acknowledged that their contributions often go unrecognized: "Corrections officers are core to upholding our judicial system, yet their work doesn’t always receive the respect it deserves." During her visit, she engaged with jail staff to understand better how she could advocate for necessary resources to ensure their safety and effectiveness.
