Statement from Congressman Horsford on the Death of Senator Harry Reid

December 28, 2021

NORTH LAS VEGAS, NEV. — Congressman Steven Horsford has released the following statement to recognize the legacy of Senator Harry Reid, who died today at the age of 82:

"Senator Harry Reid was a real-life hero; a colossus of Nevada and national politics who defined what it means to live your life in service to others. Over his five decades of public service, he transformed the lives of millions, but never forgot his small-town roots in Searchlight. His legacy will live on through his work to expand affordable health care, protect immigrant communities, promote conservation, and better the lives of working families — but also through the countless people he inspired and communities that he lifted. He was a fighter until the very end. Senator Reid was a leader, a mentor, and a true friend. Sonya and I are saddened to hear of his passing."
