I have invested in transformative technologies that will shape the 21st century, especially in wind and solar energy. Additionally, I am passionate about addressing the housing crisis and ensuring families are free from the burden of high living costs.

I am deeply concerned about the lack of financial services available to underserved communities in Nevada, with only two organizations currently offering such services. Nevada is a diverse and growing state, and it is imperative that we invest in communities that have been neglected. 

Representative Horsford argues the need for the Federal agency to focus on protecting consumers from unfair or deceptive practices in our financial marketplace, allowing every American a fair shot at starting their small business.
