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.
