Horsford: Biden Delivered for Nevada & the American People
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Congressman Steven Horsford (NV-04) today celebrated President Biden’s leadership in improving the lives of working Americans, ensuring federal leaders reflect the diversity of our country, and spurring job growth in Nevada and across the nation.
Horsford’s comments come as President Biden delivers his farewell address from the Oval Office tonight, and as he prepares to return our nation to its proud, longstanding tradition of a peaceful transition of power – the first such transition since the violence of the January 6th attacks driven by the previous outgoing administration.
“There is no stronger testament to President Biden’s leadership and decency than to compare our country as he inherited it to where we are now,” Rep. Horsford said. “As President Biden took office, the Capitol building was still scarred by the violence of the January 6th riots. Our economy was in crisis, and workers from coast to coast were struggling to make ends meet.
“Now, the Biden-Harris Administration is peacefully handing off a completely different America,” Horsford continued. “President Biden delivered economic support that helped our businesses and families through to better days. His landmark legislative achievements – many with notable bipartisan support – include the most significant investments in the American people in a generation. His dedication to inclusivity brought us our first Black vice president and our first female vice president; our first Black female supreme court justice; our first openly gay cabinet member; and our first Native American cabinet member.
“Nevadans can feel President Biden’s impact – nearly 300,000 jobs added to our economy; nearly 20,000 student loans cancelled; nearly a quarter million applications to start new businesses in our state; and a full $12.5 billion in private sector manufacturing and clean energy investments as a result of his policies,” Rep. Horsford added. “I was proud to partner with the president to help lower drug prices, which help nearly 600,000 Nevadans save money on their prescriptions. President Biden’s legacy is defined by the good faith he brought to the job, and his impact will last for generations to come.”
