Congressman Horsford on Three-Day Rural Nevada Working Visit Including Public Town Hall

PAHRUMP, NV – Congressman Steven Hosford (NV-04) is on a three-day working visit across rural Nevada from August 1 through August 3. He will engage directly with working families, local officials, Tribal leaders, farmers, healthcare professionals, and small-business owners about challenges, successes, and opportunities in Esmeralda, Mineral, and Nye Counties. 

The visit will take Rep. Horsford through Pahrump, Beatty, Goldfield, Tonopah, Walker River, Hawthorne, and Amargosa Valley. Saturday will conclude with a public town hall from 6:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. in Tonopah, where residents will have the opportunity to ask questions and share their priorities directly with the Congressman.  

“Rural Nevada is not an afterthought,” said Rep. Horsford. “My job is to show up, listen, and deliver. Over the next three days, I’ll be meeting directly with local leaders, workers, Tribal communities, healthcare providers, farmers, and small businesses to hear what’s working, what’s not, and how we can bring more federal resources and attention to the unique needs of rural Nevada.”

The three-day visit begins in Pahrump, where Rep. Horsford will meet with Nye County commissioners, small-business owners, and community leaders to discuss infrastructure, workforce needs, and economic development. He will also engage with employees at Black Cow Coffee as part of his “Congressman on the Job” series to further understand the experience of small business owners. He will also visit Desert View Hospital to discuss rural health care shortages, transportation barriers, and limited access to maternal care and meet with Valley Electric Association. Rep. Horsford will end the day by hosting a public town hall at the Tonopah Convention Center.

On Sunday, Rep. Horsford will meet with the Walker River Paiute Tribal Council, Mineral County commissioners, and servicemembers at Hawthorne Army Depot, before hosting a community conversation focused on connecting rural residents and local governments with federal resources. 

Rep. Horsford will spend the final day meeting with Esmeralda County Commissioners and visiting the Ash Meadows National Wildlife Refuge. He will end his rural Nevada working visit at Ponderosa Dairies in Amargosa Valley, another part of his “Congressman on the Job” series, where he will hear from agricultural workers about rising costs, water availability, and workforce challenges.
