WASHINGTON—Congressman Steven Horsford (NV-04) has been reappointed to the prestigious House Ways & Means Committee, the oldest and only committee named in the U.S. Constitution. This critical committee shapes national policies on healthcare, Social Security, Medicare, tax fairness, and trade.
Nevada stands out with the highest concentration of tipped workers in the nation. From the skilled bartenders crafting cocktails to the dedicated servers providing exceptional dining experiences, hospitality professionals are the backbone of the Las Vegas economy and a key reason tourists return to our state.

U.S. Rep. Steven Horsford is bringing forward legislation that not only eliminates the federal income tax on tips but also seeks to abolish subminimum wages for tipped workers.
And the Tipped Income Protection and Support (TIPS) Act, which he plans to introduce this month, will also include provisions designed to prevent employers or high-end earners from exploiting the elimination of federal taxation of tips, he said during a call Tuesday.

LAS VEGAS — Rep. Steven Horsford, Nevada Democrat and chair of the Congressional Black Caucus, has signed on to a GOP-sponsored House bill to make tipped wages tax-free.
Horsford, a four-term House member who escorted President Biden during the latter’s abortive Vegas visit last week, came out Sunday in support of Vice President Kamala Harris’s bid to become the Democrat’s Presidential candidate.
The House measure, introduced by Rep. Byron Donalds, Florida Republican, apparently mirrors a Senate bill launched July 9 by Sen. Ted Cruz, Texas Democrat.
