Rep. Steven Horsford

March marks the start of Women’s History Month - a time to honor the women who have shaped our state and our nation. Here in Las Vegas and across Nevada, women power our small businesses, lead in our unions, serve in our communities, and drive our economy forward every single day.

We’re making it easier than ever to stay connected. Starting now, you can text me directly to get updates, share your thoughts, and stay informed about the work we’re doing for Nevada families. No middleman. No waiting on hold. Just real communication. Sign up and text me today.

Nevadans are asking a simple question: Where’s our money? My RELIEF Act answers that question. If tariff dollars were taken without legal authority, they should be returned - automatically, within 90 days. No red tape. No excuses. Working families and small businesses paid the price.

Nevada Democrats push back on Trump’s positive economic outlook The Democrats in Nevada’s congressional delegation had a united message following Tuesday night’s State of the Union address: President Donald Trump was lying about the American economy.

When costs go up and wages don’t keep pace, no amount of applause changes that. Nevadans are still feeling the squeeze at the grocery store, at the pump, and on their rent. We need real solutions that lower costs and raise pay - not political spin.

For over a year, President Trump illegally raised your costs.

Higher grocery bills. Higher construction costs. Higher prices at the checkout counter.

Working people paid. That’s not right and I’m going to do something about it.

I joined @RepBynum to introduce the RELIEF Act after the Supreme Court ruled Trump’s illegal tariffs unlawful. Our bill guarantees automatic refunds within 90 days because small businesses shouldn’t have to fight to get their own money back.

Valentine’s Day costing you more this year? You’re not imagining it. Box chocolate prices are up 11.8% - driven by supply challenges abroad and tariff increases that added $544 million in costs on cacao and chocolate imports last year. When everyday items cost more, working families feel it first.

Why 2026 is expected to be a tale of two tax seasons Higher-income filers are anticipated to receive larger refunds this year, while lower earners will likely see a smaller boost.

Nevadans shouldn’t have to wait weeks for the money they’re owed. We need a tax system that works for hardworking families - with fair treatment, better IRS services, and refund predictability so people can plan, pay bills, and invest in their futures.

The latest jobs report shows the U.S. added 130,000 jobs in January and the unemployment rate dipped to 4.3%, but many Nevadans are still feeling the squeeze with one of the highest state unemployment rates in the nation.

On #WorldRadioDay, we’re celebrating the power of radio to connect our communities - fighting to make sure those voices reflect all of us. That’s why I introduced the Broadcast VOICES Act to restore incentives that increase minority and women ownership in radio and TV.

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

Congresista visita centro de detención de ICE en Pahrump: mira lo que encontró Steven Horsford dijo que tenía el objetivo de asegurarse de que no habrá planes de expansión.

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.

Las Vegas ended 2025 with one of highest jobless rates in country Las Vegas’ jobless rate is among the highest in the nation for big metro areas

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 plunge in Southern Nevada to start 2026 January statistics from the Las Vegas Realtors shows that home sales plunged in January compared to December, while listings continue to flood the market.

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.

Trump administration will pull 700 immigration officers from Minneapolis The drawdown is the latest effort from the White House to deescalate in Minneapolis after immigration officers shot and killed two U.S. citizens.

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

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.

What Medicaid, SNAP work requirements in Trump's 'big beautiful bill' mean for older workers The new "big beautiful" law aims to make it so millions of Americans pay less taxes. Yet many older Americans may see stricter Medicaid, SNAP requirements.

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.

Opinion | Trump made your Social Security data vulnerable. And the GOP doesn't care. Rep. John B. Larson: The crisis at the Social Security Administration didn't end with Elon Musk's departure from DOGE

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.

Are one-quarter of homes in the Las Vegas metro area investor-owned? - The Nevada Independent Find out in our latest fact brief.

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.

Trump administration makes move to look elsewhere for nuke waste dump  • Nevada Current The Nevada Commission on Nuclear Projects is hoping federal efforts to find states willing to host sites that can handle the full nuclear lifecycle will steer nuclear waste storage away from Nevada.…

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.

Impeaching Noem would send a message The Trump administration’s response to the two recent killings in Minneapolis has achieved the peculiar distinction of being both horrifying and ridiculous at the same time — like watching “The Death…

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.

US appeals court says Noem's decision to end protections for Venezuelans in US was illegal A federal appeals court says the Trump administration acted illegally when it ended legal protections that gave hundreds of thousands of people from Venezuela permission to live and work in the…

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.
