On National Freedom to Marry Day, we’re reminded that love is love - and every couple deserves the freedom to marry the person they love, without barriers or discrimination. Marriage equality is about dignity, fairness, and the fundamental right to build a life together. I

I visited the ICE detention center in Pahrump to conduct oversight because no agency is above the law. At a time when families in NV-04 are struggling with housing, health care, and everyday costs, Republicans pushed a $75B blank check for detention instead of investing in working people.

While families in NV-04 are looking for work, Las Vegas closed out 2025 with one of the highest jobless rates in the nation. Tourism is down, jobs are disappearing, and the cost of living keeps rising. That’s the reality of the Trump Slump.

I had the privilege of welcoming the Buddhist monks as they completed their 2,300-mile Walk for Peace to Washington, DC. Their journey is a testament to faith, resilience, and commitment to peace. What they are doing is a reminder that change begins with compassion, courage, and to walk toward unity

Home sales are plunging in Southern Nevada as families get priced out by high costs and high interest rates. That’s why I launched a housing policy platform - built from listening to NV-04 residents who are being squeezed out of the market. We need housing that works for working families.

Great, now fire Kristi Noem.

Today is National Black HIV/AIDS Awareness Day. In NV-04, we recognize the ongoing impact HIV/AIDs has on Black communities and reaffirm our commitment to education, prevention, testing, and access to care. Ending stigma and expanding awareness saves lives. #NBHAAD

Instead of expanding ICE by $75 billion, we could help build up to half a million affordable homes for working families To read my full statement: horsford.house.gov/media/press-...

I just completed a congressional oversight visit at the Pahrump detention center to examine firsthand how this facility is operating. Detention does not erase people’s rights, and federal authority does not excuse abuse, secrecy, or misconduct.

From service projects to outdoor stewardship, Boy Scouts across Nevada are learning leadership and responsibility while making a real impact in their communities. On National Boy Scouts Day, we thank them for their dedication and service.

Requiring work for Medicaid and SNAP may sound good on paper - but the reality is this: it could push seniors and retirees off health care and food support they need to stay healthy and safe. I’m focused on solutions that build security for all.

I warned last year about DOGE’s mishandling of Social Security data, and now reports are confirming it. Misuse of sensitive information isn’t just a policy failure - it’s a breach of trust. Accountability and oversight matter.

One year ago, Donald Trump promised to “rapidly bring down costs.” He continues to claim “inflation is defeated”. Nevada families know better. And the JEC report shows the average Nevada household has already paid $1,565 more in Trump’s first year. Affordability isn’t rhetoric - it’s reality.

When nearly 25% of homes are investor-owned, housing affordability is under real pressure. That’s why I launched a housing platform based on what Nevadans told me they need: more affordable homes and stronger protections.

Nevada’s history is a warning, not a blueprint. Wherever nuclear waste is proposed next, Congressional oversight is essential so no community suffers the health and environmental harms that Nevadans have endured.

That’s why I am calling for accountability at DHS. When leadership obstructs Congress, abuses power, and violates public trust, oversight isn’t political - it’s constitutional.

I voted NO on the Senate-negotiated funding package. It includes billions more in funding but no basic guardrails. I’ve heard directly from my district that they are afraid. Nevadans deserve policies that strengthen safety, support economic stability, and use taxpayer dollars responsibly.

Today, we recognize National Freedom Day, honoring the resolution that led to the 13th Amendment and the abolition of slavery. Freedom is not just a moment in history - it’s a responsibility we carry forward. We must continue working to protect dignity, democracy, and civil rights for all.

I’ve been saying this was illegal - and the court just confirmed it. A federal appeals court ruled Secretary Noem’s decision to end protections as unlawful. No one is above the law. Noem must come before Congress and testify.

Las Vegas closes the books on 2025, visitation down 7.5%. I’ve been sounding the alarm for months. Tourism is down, international travel is down 13%, and hotel occupancy is falling. Las Vegas is a leading indicator - and this Trump slump is real.

Counting homelessness shouldn’t obscure the problem - it should guide solutions. I launched a housing platform built on what Nevadans told me: we need more affordable homes, stronger protections, and real accountability so families can keep a roof over their heads.

I’m proud to have secured nearly $7 million in education and workforce development grants including funding for a brand new education and training center. This investment will expand access to training strengthen our workforce and create new economic opportunities for families across Southern Nevada

Tariffs aren’t abstract trade policy - they’re taxes that raise costs for businesses and families. Threatening new tariffs on South Korean goods will drive up prices, squeeze supply chains, and hurt working families here in Nevada.

Trump’s tariff chaos is creating a two-tier system: one set of rules for companies with armies of lawyers, and another for small businesses that can’t afford years of court battles. That’s not a level playing field and it’s bad for American competitiveness.

The Full House Act takes aim at a new gambling tax policy that unfairly burdens everyday players in Nevada. We need fairness in our tax code - not policies that penalize those who can least afford it.

The continued concern among Americans is affordability - and in Nevada, families are feeling it every day. Yearly costs are up more than $1,500 for Nevadans. Affordability isn’t abstract. It’s whether you can pay rent, fill your tank, and keep food on the table.

After more than 6 hours I stayed until the end of the Ways and Means hearing so I could speak directly with health care CEOs and with people like Ms Young a breast cancer survivor and small business owner. She represents the real people harmed by unaffordable health care. That’s who I’m fighting for

Today I announced that I will vote against DHS Appropriations Act. Mass deportation policies and violence concern Nevadans. This bill fails to establish guardrails or rebuild community trust. Accountability is not optional it is essential to public safety, the rule of law, and our democracy.

One year ago, Trump promised to “bring down costs.” Last week, he claimed “inflation is defeated.” Nevada families know better. A new JEC report shows families are paying $1,565 more because of inflation under Trump - at the grocery store, gas pump, and pharmacy counter.

In Nevada, families are working harder than ever and falling further behind. I wrote about why public policy is a moral act - and how we revive the American Dream for everyone. Read here:

The Fed Chair’s job is to be independent; that’s how our economy stays stable. Jerome Powell served under four administrations without political interference, and now suddenly it’s “incorrect”? You can’t corrupt a system just because it doesn’t cater to your politics.

A federal court ruled the Trump administration illegally blocked billions in clean energy funding. When clean energy is stalled, Nevada families pay more on their utility bills and workers lose good-paying jobs. We should be lowering costs and creating jobs — not standing in the way.

Today we honor the birth and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. — a leader who reminded us that our lives should be measured by how we serve others. “Everybody can be great, because everybody can serve.” May we continue his work by choosing justice, compassion, and service every day.

I introduced the bipartisan FULL HOUSE Act to restore fairness for Nevada’s gaming community. Right now, an unfair tax change means people can be taxed on gambling losses they never actually kept. That hurts our workers, our visitors, and our economy.

Tipped workers earn every dollar they make. House Republicans want to weaken the rules that protect them, even though the sub-minimum wage hasn’t changed in decades. If your paycheck depends on tips, this bill puts you at risk. It’s not a worker protection act — it’s a corporate giveaway.

Happy Founders’ Day to the women of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Incorporated. For 112 years, Delta women have been on the front lines of service, advocacy, and community leadership. Your impact is felt across Nevada and across the nation.

On National Youth Mentoring Day, I am grateful for the mentors across Nevada who invest in our young people. Strong mentorship helps students stay on track, succeed in school, and build a brighter future.

On National Pharmacist Day, thank you to the pharmacists across Nevada who help families access affordable, reliable health necessities. You are often the first point of care in our communities, and your work makes a real difference.

On National Human Trafficking Awareness Day, we recognize that Las Vegas is not immune to this crime. We must continue working together to protect survivors, support victims, and hold traffickers accountable. Awareness saves lives.

On International Thank You Day, I want to thank the people of Nevada’s Fourth District. Your stories, advocacy, and engagement guide my work every day. I am grateful for your trust and honored to serve you.

Inflation may look different on paper, but Americans are still paying more at the checkout line. Broad tariffs act like a regressive tax and put the burden on working families. We need an economy that lowers costs, not redirects costs to consumers.

I have long said our economy needs clarity and fairness, not confusion and hidden costs. That’s why I teamed up with Rep. Miller to create the only bipartisan framework for crypto tax rules, the Digital Asset Parity Act.

I want to congratulate @RepStenyHoyer on his retirement. Serving alongside him has been an honor. For nearly four decades, he set the standard for what principled, thoughtful leadership looks like always grounded in respect for the institution and the people it serves.

Today, I want to thank the law enforcement officers who serve with courage and commitment. Our communities are safer when public safety is rooted in service, accountability, and trust and today I share my appreciation for our law enforcement who risk their lives to protect our communities.

Wall Street is inflating housing costs. I have been sounding the alarm, and the solution is already on the table. I hope Congress will move quickly to pass my HOME Act and address these predatory practices.

: Republicans want to “own” health care, but there’s no real plan, just political games. This isn’t about politics, it’s about Nevadans’ ability to see a doctor, fill a prescription, and keep their coverage when they need it most.

Nevadans know affordability isn’t just about gas prices. Utility costs are rising, and families feel it every month when they go to pay their bills. We need real relief by lowering costs, protecting consumers, and building an economy that works for Nevada families.

I’ve been sounding the alarm for months as Wall Street drives up housing costs for Nevada families. If the President is serious about addressing this crisis, the solution is already on the table. It’s time to support my bill, the HOME Act and pass real housing accountability into law.
