How will the White House spend your money, to get people back to work?
Labor Secretary Martin Walsh talked to Las Vegas locals about getting our economy back to full speed.
This roundtable with Walsh, along with House members Steven Horsford and Susie Lee focused on the benefits of youth employment.
"It also helps us stem the issues of violence, particularly gun violence in our community," said Horsford. "So, by giving young people an opportunity to a good job through training, we're addressing many priorities in our community."
Today, Congressman Steven Horsford (D-NV-04) applauded President Biden's decision to extend a temporary ban on evictions to the areas hardest-hit by COVID-19. The extension came after days of pressure by Congressman Horsford and other Congressional Democrats.
Throughout the pandemic, Nevada’s working families have shown heroic resilience and strength. The expanded and improved Child Tax Credit is a well-deserved tax break to help families cover expenses, rebuild their savings, and accelerate our economic recovery. I’m proud to have worked with President Biden to deliver this transformational relief, and I encourage all families to visit irs.gov/childtaxcredit to verify their Child Tax Credit eligibility today.
Tonight, Congressman Steven Horsford (D-NV-04) issued the following statement to demand an immediate extension of the federal eviction moratorium, which expired at 12:00 a.m. Eastern Time.
"As Democrats in Congress fought to extend the federal eviction moratorium and keep families in their homes, Reps. Cori Bush, Maxine Waters, Ayanna Pressley, and others have spoken truth to power. Allowing the eviction moratorium to expire in the middle of a pandemic is unconscionable, and our working families deserve better.

The COVID-19 pandemic looks different in each of Nevada's rural communities. As we move closer to crushing the virus, equitable — and flexible — investments in rural communities are essential to help all Nevadans build back better for the long run.
