Horsford Delivered $3.2 Million to Strengthen Transportation Infrastructure Across NV-04

WASHINGTON D.C. – Congressman Steven Horsford (NV-04) voted in favor of the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2026, a bipartisan funding package that invests in public health, affordable housing, child care, and safe transportation infrastructure – while rejecting harmful cuts that would have raised costs for working families.

The legislation includes nearly $3.2 million secured by Congressman Horsford for community-driven transportation projects benefiting communities across Nevada’s Fourth Congressional District, part of more than $10.2 million in total funding delivered for local priorities. 

“This bill delivers real results for Nevada,” said Rep. Horsford. “It protects families from reckless cuts, supports our servicemembers, and makes smart investments that keep our communities safe and moving. From safer school zones to stronger roads so first responders can reach people faster, these are practical projects that improve daily life for working families across NV-04.” 

Congressman Horsford’s top priority is delivering real investments that improve everyday life for families across the district. This funding will strengthen safety, improve mobility, and ensure infrastructure keeps pace with the needs of fast-growing communities across Southern Nevada and rural parts of the district.

In addition to funding, the package includes several critical health care policies that were previously blocked in late 2024. As families and providers continue to feel the effects of historic health care cuts, Congressional Democrats worked to protect patients and affordability by:

• Eliminating two years and $16 billion in hospital cuts safeguarding facilities that serve vulnerable and rural populations;
• Expanding access to primary care through $4.6 billion in new funding for community health centers, the largest mandatory increase in a decade;
• Cracking down on Pharmacy Benefit Manager abuses by increasing transparency and accountability to lower drug costs and protect community pharmacies;
• Ensuring children on Medicaid can access timely, specialized out-of-state care when needed;
• Lowering prescription drug costs by guaranteeing no-cost generic medications for low-income seniors and people with disabilities and accelerating access to affordable generics;
• Strengthening the health care workforce through investments in the National Health Service Corps, Teaching Health Centers, and nearly $2 billion in value-based Medicare physician payments; and
• Extending key health care programs to provide stability for patients and providers, including telehealth, rural hospital support, community Medicare counseling, maternal and infant health programs, and the behavioral health workforce.

“These investments show what’s possible when we put people first instead of special interests,” Rep. Horsford said. “I’ll keep fighting to lower costs, protect health care, and deliver real results for Nevada families.”
