Congressman Steven Horsford Votes to Pass Historic Voting Rights, Anti-Corruption and Ethics Reform

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Today, Congressman Steven Horsford voted to pass H.R. 1, the For the People Act, a sweeping anti-corruption package to protect and expand voting rights, restore integrity and public confidence in effective governance, and end the oversized influence of dark money and special interests in American elections.

"After four years of assaults on our democracy under the previous administration and the deadly attack on the U.S. Capitol, it's clear that we need urgent reform to restore public faith in government," said Congressman Steven Horsford. "I'm proud to support the comprehensive and transformative reforms in H.R. 1, which come at a pivotal moment in our nation's history. The For the People Act will expand and protect the right to vote, strengthen our democracy, reduce the power of lobbyists, and expose the influence of dark money in our politics."

Key provisions of H.R. 1, the For the People Act, include:

• Expanding automatic voter registration and same day registration.
• Strengthening vote by mail, early voting and ballot access.
• Combating voter intimidation and voter suppression.
• Protecting elections from foreign interference.
• Fixing partisan gerrymandering.
• Promoting digital ad transparency.
• Forcing disclosure of dark money.
• Reining in lobbyist influence.
• Enforcing ethics and conflict of interest rules for all government officials.
• Empowering small donors with matching funds paid for by lawbreakers, not taxpayers.
