Today, Congressman Steven Horsford (NV-04) responded to the Supreme Court decision, 6-3, to gut the ability of private and public colleges and universities to consider race and ethnicity in admission decisions. With this knowledge, he encourages students to continue to apply to these schools and not give up hope.
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.

WASHINGTON – Congressman Steven Horsford (NV-04) today voted for the Bipartisan Budget Agreement, a bill to raise our nation’s debt ceiling while agreeing to budget framework for our next two years. While Republicans control the majority of the House, they did not have enough votes to pass this legislation. Horsford joined 164 other Democrats to allow this bill to move forward to the Senate, and avert having the United States default on the debts we already owe, which would have led to an economic disaster for all Americans.
This spring has been a busy time for my work as your Congressman. I was honored to join our Democratic Leader, Hakeem Jeffries, on his first international trip as the highest-ranking Democrat in the House. We visited Ghana and Israel, meeting with their heads of state and government and political and community leaders. Meanwhile, back at the Capitol, we have fought against the Default on American Act, which takes funding for housing, nutrition, and other programs hostage in exchange for not defaulting on our nation’s debts.
