The bill would award $5 billion in grants over eight years to community-based non-profit organizations to disrupt violence, decrease gun-related crimes, and build safer communities.

The prison, which can house up to 950 people, offers a wide range of vocational training, educational opportunities, and treatment services.

Steven Horsford (D-NV-04) and Terri Sewell (D-AL-07) held a community conversation with public health advocates and civic leaders about improving Black maternal health outcomes and expanding high-quality health care in communities of color.\n\n\"Thanks to the leadership of our local elected officials, Nevada has made significant recent progress to improve health outcomes for expecting mothers and their children. Despite these gains, Black women are more likely to die of a pregnancy-related cause and Black infant mortality rates are nearly twice as high as white infant mortality rates. We need bold, decisive action to improve maternal care and prevent deaths,\" said Rep. Steven Horsford. \"As a member of the Black Maternal Health Caucus, I am working to pass legislation that would improve maternal and infant care across the nation. As we move forward at the federal level, I'm proud to partner with local leaders in Nevada to make sure every family receives the respectful, high-quality care they deserve.\"\n\n\"Tragically, mothers in the United States are dying during and after pregnancy at the highest rate of any country in the developed world, with Black women facing particularly deadly outcomes. As a member of the Black Maternal Health Caucus, I am committed to addressing this crisis and was proud to see my Maternal Vaccination Act pass the House of Representatives last month,\" said Rep. Terri Sewell. \"I thank my colleague Rep. Horsford for bringing attention to the Black maternal health crisis and for his partnership on this issue. Through continued education, advocacy, and legislation, I'm hopeful that we can build a nation where women of every background enjoy equal access to maternal health care.\"\n\n\"I was so thankful to be a part of this very important discussion. While Nevada's maternal mortality rates are lower than the national average, one death is one too many,\" said Nevada Assemblywoman Daniele Monroe-Moreno. \"I am proud of the progress we are making here in Nevada but there is much work to go. The creation of the Maternal Mortality Review Committee through Assembly Bill 169 in 2019 and the Public Health Resource Office in 2021 from Senate Bill 424 will assist us in addressing disparate health outcomes in rural, underserved and communities of color.\"\n\n\"A person's race and/or where a person lives should never determine their health outcomes or the quality of care they will receive; however, this is not the reality. Black mothers are more likely to die and experience severe complications/life-threatening conditions during pregnancy, childbirth, or postpartum. For example, Black and Brown mothers compared to White are more likely to have premature and/or low birth weight babies; they have elevated postpartum depression and are also more likely to be food insecure as well as lose their health insurance after childbirth. Thus, to improve Black maternal-child health and nutrition in the Valley, we must reduce or eliminate these health disparities by addressing the social determinants of health, which is the goal of our project recently funded by the National Institutes of Health,\" said Drs. Melva Thompson-Robinson and Gabriela Buccini, public health researchers at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas.\n\nLeaders in attendance included:\n\nNevada Assemblywoman Daniele Monroe-Moreno\n\nNevada Assemblywoman Shondra Summers-Armstrong\n\nNevada Assemblywoman Clara (Claire) Thomas\n\nDr. Melva Thompson-Robinson, Professor of Social and Behavioral Health, University of Nevada, Las Vegas\n\nDr. Gabriela Buccini, Assistant Professor of Social and Behavioral Health, University of Nevada, Las Vegas\n\nMichael Johnson, PhD, RN, PMH-BC, CNE, Assistant Professor & Director of Clinical Partnerships, School of Nursing, Nevada State College\n\nErika Washington, Executive Director, Make it Work Nevada\n\nA'Esha Goines, Organizing Coach, Make it Work Nevada\n\nQuentin Savwoir, Deputy Director, Make it Work Nevada\n\nJollina Simpson, International Board-Certified Lactation Counselor, midwife assistant, doula, and childbirth educator\n\nTiara Flynn, birth doula and owner of Phenomenal Mama LLC\n\nLizette Guillen, Director of Administration, Nevada Partners.\n\nReps. Horsford and Sewell are members of the Black Maternal Health Caucus, which focuses on policy solutions to improve maternal health outcomes and end maternal health disparities. In February 2021, members of the caucus introduced the Black Maternal Health Momnibus, a comprehensive legislative package that would improve care for pregnant and postpartum women by addressing social determinants of health, improving data collection on maternal health, expanding access to telemedicine, and incentivizing high-quality care for all mothers and children.

To date, fewer than five percent of the projects funded under WaterSMART since its 2010 inception have been led by Tribes or Pueblos. The legislation was written in response to testimony submitted before the House Committee on Natural Resources from several witnesses, including the National Congress of American Indians, the Colorado River Indian Tribes, and the Ute Indian Tribe of the Uintah and Ouray Reservation.\n\n\"Clean, affordable drinking water is a human right,\" said Rep.

Addressing these needs is crucial to responding to drought and the lasting impacts of climate change and decades of underinvestment in Tribal water needs.\"\n\n\"Abundant, safe and reliable supplies of water are critical to quality of life for tribal communities,\" said Rep. Cole, Co-Chair of the Congressional Native American Caucus and a member of the Chickasaw Nation of Oklahoma. \"By removing certain financial barriers, tribes will have more opportunities for improving water infrastructure and conservation practices. These WaterSMART initiatives will not only ensure access to clean drinking water but greatly improve the lives and health of current and future generations.\"\n\n\"The climate crisis is causing severe drought throughout the West, and as we look to best manage increasingly limited resources, we have an obligation to make sure we do so equitably,\" said Rep.

clarifies that IGs of the IC have sole authority to determine matters of urgent concern, which include foreign interference in our elections; enhances congressional reporting requirements when an IG is removed; requires the President or an agency head to give 30 days' notice before placing an IG on administrative leave; and requires the President to provide to Congress documentation of cause before removing an IG.\n\nProtect Whistleblowers: Enhances protections for federal whistleblowers, including measures to protect the anonymity of whistleblowers; clarifies the right of government employees, including those in the IC, to provide information directly to Congress; creates a private right of action for whistleblowers who are publicly outed by government officials;

I\u2019m sure glad I didn\u2019t vote against pay for our troops out of fear that someone would take issue with a provision that, predictably, never makes it into the final law. Why? It always has been since Nancy Pelosi has been Speaker.

The FY2022 NDAA delivers key quality-of-life improvements for Nevada servicemembers and makes long-awaited progress to improve racial equity in the military and prevent sexual assault.\n\n\"The bipartisan FY2022 NDAA is a historic investment in America's service members that will make our nation stronger and safer. Since I joined the House Armed Services Committee earlier this year, I've worked closely with my colleagues to make sure Nevada's priorities were included in our defense spending. I'm proud that the FY2022 NDAA includes funding for key projects in Nevada's Fourth District, including military housing, environmental clean-up, on-base construction projects, and expansion of the MQ-9 program.\n\n\"America's national security rests on the strength and bravery of our service members. As we consider defense spending levels, their well-being should always be our top priority. Thanks to the leadership of House and Senate Democrats, the FY2022 NDAA gives our service members a well-deserved raise and makes long-overdue changes to improve racial equity and support survivors of military sexual trauma. Together, these changes will make our military fairer and more welcoming to all the heroes who wish to serve.\"\n\nKey provisions in the FY2022 NDAA include:\n\nMilitary Construction Funding for Nevada's Fourth District\n\nCreech Air Force Base: $2.2 million to the Warrior Fitness Training Center (Planning and Design) and $14.2 million to the Mission Support Facilities (Construction).

This ensures the continued procurement of the MQ-9 platform which is central to the mission conducted every day at Creech Air Force Base. This funding will allow the Air Force to procure four additional remotely piloted aircraft, easing the Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance shortfall currently faced by combatant commanders.\n\n$144,287,000 in MQ-9 modernization funding, ensuring the long-term relevancy of the platform as the Department of Defense (DoD) transitions into near-peer competition.\n\n$103,186,000 in MQ-9 Research, Development, Testing, and Evaluation funding, which will dramatically improve the MQ-9's ability to operate in highly contested environments like the Indo-Pacific.\n\n$103,046,000 in MQ-9 Operations and Maintenance funding, which fills the requests from CENTCOM and AFRICOM for additional MQ-9 combat lines, most of which will be operated from Creech Air Force Base.\n\n$5,000,000 increase in Contract Adversary Air funding, directly benefiting contract adversary air professionals training our Air Force pilots in air-to-air tactics at Nellis Air Force Base.\n\nCongressman Horsford's Amendments\n\n$50 million in funding for Tactically Responsive Space Launch (TacRL), and language in Section 1609 requiring the Secretary to make specific improvements to the TacRL program and transition it to a program of record in the future-years defense program.\n\nPilot Program to Test New Software to Track Emissions at Certain Military Installations: The program will allow the DoD to establish a pilot program to use emerging technology to track carbon emissions from military installations in real-time.\n\nPilot Program on Data Repositories to Facilitate the Development of Artificial Intelligence Capabilities: This amendment requires the Department to establish data repositories containing DoD data sets that will help small companies develop artificial intelligence software and technology.\n\nOther Provisions Directly Benefiting the District\n\nCombatant Commander ISR Risk Assessments Reporting Requirement: Requires each commander of a geographic combatant command to provide an independent assessment of the operational risk to that command posed by the restructuring and inventory divestments projected in the Modernization Plan for Airborne Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance for the Department of the Air Force.\n\nPriorities for Servicemembers and Military Families\n\nIncrease in Basic Pay: Supports increase in military basic pay by 2.7%.\n\nBasic Needs Allowance for Low-Income Service Members: Authorizes the Secretary of Defense to pay a basic needs allowance to a qualified service member.\n\nParental Leave for Service Members: Increases the allowable parental leave for primary and secondary caregivers including foster parents.\n\nChild Care: Expands the in-home childcare pilot program providing financial assistance for in-home childcare.\n\nExceptional Family Members: Establishes an Exceptional Family Member Program Advisory Council to better support military families who have members with special needs.\n\nImpact Aid: Authorizes $50 million for the purpose of aiding local educational agencies with military dependent students, and $10 million for local educational agencies eligible to receive a payment for children with severe disabilities and $10 million to local educational agencies determined by the Secretary of Defense to have higher concentrations of military children with severe disabilities.\n\nBasic Allowance for Housing (BAH): Requires a report by the Department of Defense on family size within the military including if BAH accurately assesses moving costs for military families.\n\nPaid Parental Bereavement Leave for Federal Employees: Provides federal employees with two weeks of paid parental bereavement leave.\n\nIncentive and Special Pays: Requires the military to provide Reserve and National Guard service members incentive and special duty pays at the same rate as their active-duty counterparts.\n\nPilot Program to Establish Employment Fellowship Opportunities for Military Spouses: Establishes a three-year pilot program to provide employment support to the spouses of members of the Armed Forces through a paid fellowship with employers across a variety of industries.\n\nPriorities for Equity and Justice\n\nRemoval of Chain of Command from Prosecutions: For the first time since the creation of the Uniform Code of Military Justice, this bill removes the Commander from decisions related to the prosecution of covered crimes including rape, sexual assault, murder, and manslaughter, among other felony crimes.\n\nIndependence of the Special Prosecutor: Removes prosecution decisions for covered crimes from the command and places it in an independent special trial counsel within each military department.

This, along with the provisions included in the Bipartisan Infrastructure Bill and the Build Back Better Act, will generate strong investments in our communities.\"\n\n\"As Nevada recovers from the pandemic, federal support for small businesses has played a key role in moving our economy forward,\" said Sonny Vinuya, President of the Las Vegas Asian Chamber of Commerce. \"Nevada's small businesses are incredibly resilient, and additional federal support will help us rebuild stronger than before. Thank you Congressman Horsford and Deputy Secretary Adeyemo for taking the time to listen to Nevada's entrepreneurs and business leaders.\"\n\nBackground:\n\nIn March 2021, Congressman Horsford voted to pass the American Rescue Plan, which invested $50 billion to support small businesses that were struggling to keep their doors open as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.\n\nEarlier this month, Congressman Horsford voted to pass the Build Back Better Act, which builds on American Rescue Plan funding with $5 billion for small firms, including support for direct loans and venture capital funding, as well as support for cooperatives and worker-owned businesses. The bill also dedicates significant funding to support entrepreneurs in underrepresented and underserved communities.

With input from representatives of the CARES Housing Assistance Program (CHAP), the conversation also touched on the importance of investing in affordable housing and preventing eviction as housing prices in Southern Nevada continue to rise.\n\n\"In Nevada's Fourth District and across the country, the expanded Child Tax Credit is changing the lives of millions of families for the better. During today's listening session, I was glad to speak with local families and community leaders about how the federal government can strengthen the Child Tax Credit and make key progress in other vital areas, including housing affordability,\" said Congressman Steven Horsford. \"As we work to extend the Child Tax Credit for another year and lower housing costs through the Build Back Better Act, I'm grateful to Deputy Secretary Adeyemo for joining me to make sure Nevada families have a voice in our nation's economic recovery.\"\n\n\"In November, more than 353,000 Nevada families, including 595,000 children, received the monthly Child Tax Credit. This tax relief has made a positive impact on the lives of working families who have been able to use it to cover costs for food, childcare, and other household needs,\" said Deputy Secretary Wally Adeyemo. \"It was great to hear directly from families in Las Vegas on how they're benefitting from the CTC and why it's so important to extend the relief through 2022 and make it permanently fully refundable through the Build Back Better Act.\"\n\nTo watch a livestream of the event, click here.\n\nBackground on the Expanded Child Tax Credit:\n\nIn March 2021, Congressman Horsford voted to pass the American Rescue Plan, which temporarily increased the Child Tax Credit to $3,000 - $3,600 per child for tax year 2021, with half of the credit advanced through monthly payments. From July through December, most families are eligible to receive monthly payments of $250 - $300 per child.\n\nResearchers at the Columbia University Center on Poverty and Social Policy estimate that the Child Tax Credit and other COVID-19 relief measures could cut child poverty in half, with an outsized effect on the well-being of rural children and Black and Latino children. Earlier this month, Congressman Horsford voted to pass the Build Back Better Act, which would extend the increased Child Tax Credit through 2022.\n\nThe Congressional Joint Economic Committee has estimated that 167,000 children in Nevada's Fourth District qualified for 92,000 Child Tax Credit payments in November, totaling more than $43 million that month alone. Researchers have found when families with young children see their income rise, their children see long-term benefits in the form of increased earnings as adults.\n\nImpact of the Child Tax Credit in Nevada's Fourth District:\n\n97 percent of households in Nevada's Fourth District are eligible to benefit from the expanded and improved Child Tax Credit\n\nThe expanded and improved Child Tax Credit is lifting 9,700 children in Nevada's Fourth District out of poverty\n\nBecause of the larger benefit for the youngest children, the expanded and improved Child Tax Credit is lifting 3,400 children under the age of six out of poverty\n\nFamilies with children in poverty receive $5,200 on average\n\nThe expanded and improved Child Tax Credit is lifting 3,400 children in Nevada's Fourth District out of deep poverty\n\nStatewide, the American Rescue Plan's Child Tax Credit expansion will deliver significant benefits to children in rural areas. According to the Center for Budget and Policy Priorities, 95 percent of rural Nevada children will benefit from the expansion, compared to 92 percent of Nevada children in metro areas.\n\nBackground on Housing Investments in the American Rescue Plan and the Build Back Better Act:\n\nOver the last year, home rental prices in Southern Nevada have soared more than 20 percent, even as the region struggles to rebound from the economic damage of the pandemic. As part of the American Rescue Plan, Congressman Horsford voted to pass $21 billion in federal rental assistance to help housing providers who work with their tenants to avoid eviction. Since the beginning of the pandemic, Congress has passed a total of $46 billion in housing aid.\n\nSince before the expiration of the federal eviction moratorium in July, Congressman Horsford has pushed local authorities to get rental assistance to tenants and housing providers in a timely and efficient manner. To learn more about rental assistance programs in Nevada, click here.\n\nThe Build Back Better Act includes more than $150 billion in additional housing investments, which will create or preserve more than one million homes that are affordable and accessible to families in need.

After Ahmaud Arbery's death, local authorities obstructed the arrest of his killers and failed to treat his family with the respect they deserve. During the trial, the defense invoked racist tropes in a despicable attempt to blame Mr. Arbery for his own death. Thankfully, the jury believed the evidence in front of their eyes, and rendered a verdict based on the truth. As sentencing moves forward, I hope Mr. Arbery's killers will be held fully accountable, with a sentence that reflects the true severity of their actions.\n\n\"In the aftermath of this trial, Congress has a moral obligation to make our nation fairer and safer for all Americans. There must be accountability for hate, there must be criminal justice reform, and there must be common-sense gun safety laws to protect Americans from the scourge of gun violence.

Together with the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, this legislation will create millions of good-paying union jobs, cut taxes for most Nevada families with children, and lower costs on essentials like housing, health care, and child care.\"\n\n\"As Congress developed and negotiated the Build Back Better Act, my priority was to make sure the needs of Nevada's Fourth District would be reflected in the final legislation. I'm proud that a number of my bills were included in today's package, advancing key funding for community violence intervention, prescription drug pricing reform, clean energy, health care affordability, and more.\"\n\n\"Soon, the Build Back Better Act will move to the Senate. Over the last several months, House and Senate Democrats have carefully developed this bill as a consensus proposal that grows the economy and fully pays for itself with common-sense changes to the tax code. Poll after poll shows that Americans support the Build Back Better Act nearly 2-1.\n\n\"The American people have waited months to see this bill passed into law. I urge the Senate to quickly take up and pass the full House version of the Build Back Better Act with limited changes. Now is the time to deliver for our constituents.\"\n\nAs passed in the House, the Build Back Better Act delivers landmark progress for the families of Nevada's Fourth District on issues including:\n\nLower Taxes: The Build Back Better Act extends the American Rescue Plan's expanded Child Tax Credit through the end of 2022. Since July, the expanded Child Tax Credit has pumped more than $600 million into Nevada's economy, with an average per-household payment of $434. In Nevada's Fourth District, 97 percent of families are eligible for this key tax cut.\n\nJob Training: The Build Back Better Act invests in training programs that will prepare Nevada's workers for high-quality jobs in fast-growing sectors like public health, child care, manufacturing, IT, and clean energy.\n\nPrescription Drug Pricing: In Nevada, many seniors and residents with chronic health conditions struggle to afford the high price of prescription drugs. The Build Back Better Act will lower drug prices by allowing Medicare to negotiate prices for high-cost prescription drugs, imposing a tax penalty for companies that increase their prices faster than inflation, capping out-of-pocket drug costs for seniors, and lowering insulin prices so that Americans with diabetes don't pay more than $35/month for their insulin. Health Care: By closing the Medicaid gap, expanding Medicare to include hearing care, and extending subsidies for insurance purchased through the ACA, the Build Back Better Act will help 71,000 Nevadans gain coverage and save 47,100 Nevadans hundreds of dollars in health care costs each year, while also making home health care more accessible and affordable for seniors and people with disabilities.\n\nHousing: In Nevada, 243,000 renters spend more than 30 percent of their income on rent. The Build Back Better Act will expand rental assistance for Nevada renters, while also increasing the supply of high-quality housing by constructing and rehabilitating over 1 million affordable housing units nationwide. Support for Long-Term Care Needs: The need for high-quality, accessible, and affordable care for older Americans and those living with disabilities is growing, but high costs and care shortages leave many families reliant on unpaid caregiving. The Build Back Better Act will expand access to home-and community-based care and increase wages and benefits for caregiving jobs.\n\nPaid Leave: The Build Back Better Act permanently authorizes the first-ever national paid family and medical leave program for U.S. workers, providing up to four weeks of paid leave for parental bonding or serious medical conditions. This provision will benefit workers and level the playing field for small businesses, which often struggle to afford the cost of paid leave for employees. Child Care: More than 70 percent of Nevadans live in a \"child care desert\" where there is not enough child care for the families who need it. For families who can find child care, the average annual cost is $10,238. The Build Back Better Act will expand access to affordable child care for 196,800 Nevada children and ensure that most families spend no more than seven percent of their income on child care. Under the Build Back Better Act, Nevada families with young children would save more than $9,000/year.\n\nEarly Education: Today, only 17 percent of 3- and 4-year-olds in Nevada have access to publicly funded pre-kindergarten, while the average cost of private pre-kindergarten in the state is $8,600. The Build Back Better Act will expand access to free, high-quality pre-kindergarten to more than 65,000 Nevada children \u2013 setting them up for lifelong success and saving their parents thousands of dollars.\n\nClimate: Nevada experienced 12 extreme weather events from 2010-2020, costing Nevada families up to $1 billion in damages. By reducing carbon pollution, bolstering community resilience and strengthening the American clean energy economy, the Build Back Better Act makes the largest investment in climate action ever, creating good-paying union jobs in clean energy, advancing environmental justice and protecting Nevadans from extreme weather.\n\nNutrition: 16 percent of Nevada children currently live in households that struggle to put enough food on the table. The Build Back Better Act will expand access to free school meals for an additional 48,000 Nevada students during the school year, and provide nearly 300,000 students with the resources to purchase food over the summer.\n\nImmigration: The Build Back Better Act would allow immigrants who have lived and worked in the United States for more than 11 years the opportunity to apply for permanent residency. The bill would also restore the availability of immigrant visas and reduce the green card backlog, helping reunite immigrant families and better allow U.S. companies to attract and retain high-skilled workers.\n\nTo read more about the impact of the Build Back Better Act on Nevada, click here.

This provision would allow families to exclude specific dependent income when determining their eligibility for Affordable Care Act (ACA) subsidies.\n\nThe Nursing Home Workforce Support and Expansion Act, which improves nursing home care by strengthening wages and benefits for long-term care workers.\n\nIncluded in Section. 2041. Nursing Home Worker Training Grants - This section directly appropriates $415,696,400 for states for each of FY2023 through 2026 and $8,483,600 for Indian tribes and tribal organizations for FY2023 through FY2026 to invest in state worker recruitment and retention.

Opportunity Zones have tremendous potential to increase investment in underserved communities \u2014 but to date, they have struggled to deliver for the people they were intended to help,\" said Congressman Steven Horsford. \"I thank Oversight Subcommittee Chairman Pascrell for holding this hearing to examine how Congress can improve equity, accountability, and outcomes in Opportunity Zones.\"\n\nIn 2017, House and Senate Republicans passed the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, a tax law that provided outsized benefits to the wealthiest Americans and the biggest corporations. In a limited gesture toward inclusivity, the law included a bipartisan tax incentive program to encourage investments in low-income communities called \"Opportunity Zones.\"\n\nDespite the promise of the Opportunity Zone program, poor oversight has made it impossible to assess whether the program is benefiting the communities it was intended to support. Critics have charged that the Opportunity Zone program benefits rich investors with little benefit to low-income families.\n\nDuring today's hearing, Congressman Horsford solicited recommendations from expert witnesses about how the Opportunity Zone program can strengthen accountability and improve outcomes for the communities it serves. In response, Jessica Lucas-Judy, Director of Strategic Initiatives at the Government Accountability Office, stressed the importance of clear goals and reporting requirements for Opportunity Zone investments.\n\nIn further remarks, Congressman Horsford pointed to a 2020 report from the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation that identified Opportunity Zones as a driver of gentrification in communities of color. As Congress works to improve the Opportunity Zone program, Congressman Horsford will focus on how the program can address racial inequities and expand job training and housing affordability in low-income communities.

Over the coming years, the law will direct federal investments to every part of Nevada, helping every community thrive.\n\n\"Two weeks ago, I was proud to be at the table with House leadership as we negotiated the final passage of the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act. This law makes historic investments that will strengthen Nevada's economy, relieve supply chain pressures, and lift countless families into the middle class. I applaud President Biden, Vice President Harris, and Congressional leaders for their work to see it signed into law.\"\n\nThe Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act will bring significant benefits to Nevada, including:\n\nGood-Paying Union Jobs. With abundant sunlight and open space, Nevada has emerged as a national leader in clean energy development. The Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act makes the largest investment in clean energy transmission in history, putting Nevadans to work in good-paying union jobs while diversifying the state's economy.\n\nBridge and Road Repair. Nevada has 28 bridges and over 1,090 miles of highway in poor condition, and commute times have increased nearly eight percent since 2011. The average Nevada driver pays $558 per year due to driving on roads in need of repair. Over five years, the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act will direct $2.5 billion to Nevada for federal-aid highway apportioned programs and $225 million for bridge replacement and repairs.\n\nImproving Access to High-Speed Internet. Fourteen percent of Nevada households do not have an internet subscription and four percent of Nevadans live in areas where there is no broadband infrastructure. The Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act will direct at least $100 million to provide broadband coverage across the state. This investment will provide access to more than 123,800 Nevadans who currently lack it. The legislation will also make 825,000 Nevadans (26 percent of the population) eligible for the Affordability Connectivity Benefit, which helps low-income families afford internet access.\n\nImproving Public Transit. Nevadans who rely on public transportation spend an extra 134 percent of their time commuting and non-White households are twice as likely to commute via public transportation. Five percent of transit vehicles in the state are past useful life. The Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act will direct $459 million to Nevada over five years to improve public transportation options across the state.\n\nProtecting Clean Drinking Water. In August, the federal government declared a historic water shortage at Lake Mead, which supplies 90 percent of Southern Nevada's water. Under the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, Nevada will receive $403 million over five years to improve water infrastructure and protect clean drinking water across the state.\n\nPreparing Nevada's Infrastructure for Climate Change and Extreme Weather Events. From 2010 to 2020, Nevada experienced 12 extreme weather events, costing the state up to $1 billion in damages. Las Vegas is the fastest-warming city in the country, and 80 percent of Southern Nevadans in the neighborhoods most impacted by extreme weather are people of color. Nevada will benefit from the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act's $3.5 billion national investment in weatherization and will expect to receive $8.6 million over five years to protect against wildfires.\n\nPreventing Cyberattacks. Nevada's economy and businesses are increasingly vulnerable to sophisticated cyberattacks. The Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act will deliver $12 million to Nevada to protect against cyberattacks.\n\nExpanding Electric Vehicle Use. Investing in electric vehicles is critical to the nation's clean energy future. The Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act invests $7.5 billion to build out the first-ever national network of electric vehicle chargers in the United States, with the state of Nevada expected to receive $38 million over five years.\n\nStrengthening Nevada's Airports. Under the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, Nevada will receive approximately $293 million for infrastructure development for airports over five years.", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-06T20:30:49Z"], ["https://horsford.house.gov/media/press-releases/congressman-horsford-honors-the-service-and-sacrifice-of-nevada-s-veterans-and-military-families", "Congressman Horsford Honors the Service and Sacrifice of Nevada\u2019s Veterans and Military Families", "2021-11-11", "2021", "2021-11", "Democrat", "House", "NV", "Steven Horsford", "H001066", "horsford.house.gov", "horsford", "https://horsford.house.gov/media/press-releases", "scraper", "NORTH LAS VEGAS, NEV. \u2014 Today, Congressman Steven Horsford (D-NV-04) released the following statement to recognize the service and sacrifices of America's veterans and military families:\n\n\"Every year on Veterans Day, we celebrate the brave veterans who served our great nation during times of war and times of peace.

Our 340,000 members in Nevada are sick of decades of the pharmaceutical industry's influence in Washington and want lower drug prices now.\"\n\nThe full letter is below and can be found here.\n\nDear Speaker Pelosi and Majority Leader Hoyer:\n\nThank you for your leadership and continued efforts to lower the cost of prescription drugs. As majority-makers in competitive districts, we promised our constituents that we would come to Washington to fight on their behalf for lower drug prices. We cannot turn back now on our promise to the American people. We urge you in the strongest terms possible to include legislative language in the Build Back Better Act that will be voted on by the full House to accomplish this.\n\nFor too long, the pharmaceutical industry has raked in extraordinary profits, while Americans routinely pay more than three times what people in other countries pay for the same medicines. As a country, we spend hundreds of billions of dollars a year on prescription drugs, and yet our constituents must often choose between purchasing prescribed medications or putting food on the table. It is unacceptable that anyone in the wealthiest country in the world cannot access the medications they need to stay alive.\n\nWith two lobbyists per Member of Congress, we know that Big Pharma is deeply invested in the status quo. Our current system forbids Medicare from negotiating the prices it pays for prescription drugs. As a result, millions of Americans are forced to spend thousands of dollars a year on their medications \u2013 or go without.\n\nIn many cases, as with insulin, these medications have been on the market for decades. In 1991, a bottle of Humalog insulin cost $21. Today the average list price is over $300. That is inexcusable. In these instances, we are not paying for research and development. By allowing the cost of drugs like insulin to rise year after year, we are financing soaring executive salaries, stock buybacks and outrageous profit margins on the backs of our seniors.\n\nWith the Build Back Better agenda, we have a perhaps once in a generation opportunity to change the status quo and make good on our promise that no one should have to choose between affording their prescription drugs or food or housing. The public is on our side. Big Pharma is not.\n\nSoon, we must go back to our districts and explain what we've done in Washington to make our constituents' lives better. We ran on upsetting the status quo and lowering out-of-pocket costs for healthcare and prescription drugs. If we fail, those on the other side of this issue will need to explain to Americans why they let Big Pharma win, why entrenched special interests take precedence over the American people.", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-06T20:30:49Z"], ["https://horsford.house.gov/media/press-releases/congressman-horsford-applauds-major-investments-in-nevada-families-through-the-build-back-better-framework", "Congressman Horsford Applauds Major Investments in Nevada Families through the Build Back Better Framework", "2021-10-29", "2021", "2021-10", "Democrat", "House", "NV", "Steven Horsford", "H001066", "horsford.house.gov", "horsford", "https://horsford.house.gov/media/press-releases", "scraper", "WASHINGTON, D.C. \u2014 Today, Congressman Steven Horsford (D-NV-04) released the following statement on President Biden's new framework for the Build Back Better Act.\n\n\"President Biden has released a clear framework to level the playing field for working families through the Build Back Better Act.

The pandemic has only underscored what we already knew and has exacerbated systemic inequities -- current benefits are not enough! 5 million seniors are living in poverty due to longstanding discrimination in the labor force that affects mostly people of color and women. These are our mothers, fathers, aunts, uncles, and neighbors. For too long, Congress has forsaken its duty to enhance benefits. It's time that we act now,\" said House Ways and Means Social Security Subcommittee Chairman John B. Larson.\n\nThe Social Security 2100 Act:\n\nProvides a benefit bump for current and new beneficiaries \u2013 Provides an increase for all beneficiaries that is the equivalent to about 2% of the average benefit. The US faces a retirement crisis and a modest boost in benefits strengthens the one leg of the retirement system that is universal and the most reliable.\n\nProtects against inflation \u2013 Improves the annual cost-of-living adjustment (COLA) formula to better reflect the costs incurred by seniors through adopting a CPI-E formula. This provision will help seniors who spend a greater portion of their income on health care and other necessities. Improved inflation protection will especially help older retirees and widows who are more likely to rely on Social Security benefits as they age.\n\nProtects low-income workers \u2013 No one who paid into the system over a lifetime should retire into poverty. The new minimum benefit will be set at 25% above the poverty line and would be tied to wage levels to ensure that the minimum benefit does not fall behind.\n\nImproves benefits for widows and widowers in two income households.\n\nRepeals the Windfall Elimination Provision (WEP) and Government Pension Offset (GPO) that currently penalize many public servants.\n\nEnds the 5-month waiting period to receive disability benefits.\n\nProvides caregiver credits to ensure that caregivers are not penalized in retirement for taking time out of the workforce to care for children or other dependents.\n\nExtends dependent benefits for students through age 26 and includes part-time students.\n\nIncreases access to benefits for children who live with grandparents or other relatives.\n\nThis legislation strengthens the Social Security trust fund by:\n\nHaving millionaires and billionaires pay the same rate as everyone else \u2013 Presently, payroll taxes are not collected on wages over $142,800. This legislation would apply the payroll tax to wages above $400,000. This provision would only affect the top 0.4% of wage earners.\n\nExtending the depletion date (when a 20% cut to benefits would occur) to 2038 \u2013 Giving Congress more time to ensure long term solvency of the Trust Funds.", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-06T20:24:51Z"], ["https://amodei.house.gov/news-releases/amodei-statement-pump-nursing-mothers-act", "AMODEI STATEMENT ON THE PUMP FOR NURSING MOTHERS ACT", "2021-10-22", "2021", "2021-10", "Republican", "House", "NV", "Mark E.

Since 2000, water levels at Lake Mead have dropped 143 feet and the reservoir has lost 5.5 trillion gallons of water. This year, Lake Mead registered its lowest water level on record since it was filled in the 1930s. In August 2021, the federal government declared a federal water shortage at Lake Mead, cutting Nevada's water allocation by approximately seven percent.\n\nClimate change is a fundamental contributor to the drought at Lake Mead. Each year, the reservoir loses around six feet of water to evaporation alone. If Lake Mead loses another 175 feet, water will no longer flow through the Hoover Dam, which provides power to approximately 1.3 million people.\n\nUnder the Build Back Better Act and the Bipartisan Infrastructure Deal, the federal government would invest billions in drought relief and water infrastructure. The Bipartisan Infrastructure Deal alone would provide Nevada with $403 million over five years to protect water supplies and ensure that clean, safe drinking water can reach every community.", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-06T20:24:51Z"], ["https://horsford.house.gov/media/press-releases/congressman-horsford-celebrates-arrival-of-october-child-tax-credit-payment-a-key-tax-cut-for-middle-class-families", "Congressman Horsford Celebrates Arrival of October Child Tax Credit Payment, a Key Tax Cut for Middle Class Families", "2021-10-15", "2021", "2021-10", "Democrat", "House", "NV", "Steven Horsford", "H001066", "horsford.house.gov", "horsford", "https://horsford.house.gov/media/press-releases", "scraper", "NORTH LAS VEGAS, NEV. \u2014 Today, Congressman Steven Horsford (D-NV-04) announced the arrival of the October Child Tax Credit payment, a critical tax cut for middle class families.

As you may be aware, a provision was included in the same section to allow Afghan refugees to receive REAL ID\u2019s. Senator Tom Cotton offered an amendment to strip this provision, which all Senate Republicans voted for. Though the amendment was defeated by a 50-to-50 vote, had the House considered a similar measure, I too would have supported it.\n\n\u201cIt is also worth noting that in ensuring Afghan refugees are fully vetted, this bill provided $50 million to the Federal Bureau of Investigation for investigative activities associated with Afghan resettlement operations, more than $10 million above what the Administration asked for. Additionally, Republicans successfully argued against the inclusion of language that would have allowed the Biden administration to (1) waive criminal and security-related grounds of inadmissibility and (2) provide evacuees legal permanent resident status outside of normal immigration channels.

There is a gun law provision in the House passed 1,362-page National Defense Authorization Act.

The missing context of today\u2019s \u201canalysis\u201d on my NDAA vote, is that this provision is always stripped out in the Conference process with the Senate. What they also didn\u2019t bother to tell you is that a nearly 2:1 majority of Republicans voted for the NDAA, as we always have.\n\n\u201cFor more that they didn\u2019t bother to tell you, which are important contextual facts, is that the bill contains a 5% increase in topline funding for the Department of Defense, a 2.7% pay increase for our servicemembers, authorization for the procurement of over $1.3 billion in new aircraft, equipment, and weapons, $250 million to conduct counter-terrorism operations in Afghanistan, and the funding necessary to counter Chinese and Russian military hostilities, just to name a few of the many important provisions in the NDAA. I\u2019m sure as heck not going to vote against all of that out of fear that somebody takes issue with a provision that will never make it into the final law. Simply put, this year\u2019s NDAA support does not equal red flag gun law support.\n\n\u201cMisrepresenting the context of the majority of Republicans\u2019 vote on the NDAA is incredibly irresponsible.

This bill allows for abortions at any stage until birth, for any reason. Abortion is a complex issue, and one in which thoughtful and reasonable people often disagree. In the State of Nevada, voters directly decided through a referendum in 1990 that a woman should be allowed to have an abortion performed by a physician within the first 24 weeks of pregnancy, and a physician may perform an abortion after 24 weeks only to preserve the life or health of the mother. Because this was voted on directly by the people of Nevada, it can only be repealed through a referendum. However, under the Women\u2019s Health Protection Act, if the U.S. Attorney General were to determine even Nevada\u2019s present law as too restrictive, this bill would give the federal government the authority to overturn what the majority of Nevadans have voted for and approved.

These laws ban certain abortions outright, impose extended waiting periods on abortion care, force health providers to deliver biased and inaccurate counseling on abortion, or mandate that patients undergo invasive, unnecessary medical procedures before receiving abortion care.\n\nOn September 1, the Supreme Court chose not to block an extreme Texas law that would effectively ban abortion before most women know they are pregnant. This law is clearly unconstitutional based on decades of precedent, and the Supreme Court's decision shows the immediate need for Congressional action to protect abortion rights.\n\nLaws restricting abortion access are burdensome for all women seeking care, but their impact falls disproportionately on low-income women and women of color. Research estimates show that the new Texas law could increase state maternal mortality by up to 15 percent overall, and up to 33 percent for Black women.

Estimating approximately $0.40/watt in tax credits beyond the Investment Tax Credit on an average project, LIHREC would help install 18 gigawatts of solar energy to serve approximately 4.5 million low-income households with approximately 13.5 million people over 10 years.\n\n\"In Nevada and across the nation, low-income families and communities of color are bearing the brunt of climate change,\" said Rep. Steven Horsford. \"The Low-Income Housing Renewable Energy Credit Act would put solar energy within reach for underserved communities while creating jobs, lowering energy bills, and strengthening our climate resilience. I'm excited to work with Reps. Davis, S\u00e1nchez, Sewell, Evans, and Gomez on this important step forward for environmental and economic justice.\"\n\n\"I am proud to champion this new tax credit that will put money in the pockets of low-income people by reducing their electricity costs while making the air they breathe safer,\" said Rep. Danny Davis. \"This credit will incentivize substantial private investment in solar projects within low-income housing and communities. Even more, it will spur job creation of good-paying jobs in the green energy sector. The credit is a smart federal investment that promotes economic and environmental equity by extending clean energy to underserved communities while helping address the climate crisis.\"\n\n\"Low-income families often don't have access to tax benefits for solar and renewable energy, yet their neighborhoods suffer disproportionately from the impacts of power-generated pollution,\" said Rep. Linda S\u00e1nchez. \"As we prepare to make major investments in renewable energy, it is critical that everyone who wants to reduce their carbon footprint has access to the same resources, regardless of socio-economic status. This legislation would ensure low-income communities do not lose out on green energy project investment and residents are able to benefit from stabilized affordable housing assets, improved grid resilience, and increased job opportunities in the green sector.\"\n\n\"We know that low-income and minority communities are often most severely impacted by the devastating effects of pollution and climate change,\" said Rep. Terri Sewell. \"Unfortunately, green technologies that harness the power of renewable energy are too often out of reach for these very same communities. By providing tax credits to low-income Americans for solar projects, this bill will make green technologies more accessible for our most vulnerable, advancing environmental justice in Alabama's 7th District and across our nation. As we make critical investments in climate resiliency, we must ensure that equity remains a central focus.\"\n\n\"Philadelphia has seen historic, damaging flooding recently, and this clean-energy tax credit is another way we can fight the climate change that caused it, while bringing the benefits of solar energy to lower-income households in particular -- and creating jobs at the same time,\" said Rep. Dwight Evans.\n\n\"Equitable and sustainable outcomes for our country cannot be secured without a tax code that prioritizes America's working families,\" said Rep. Jimmy Gomez. \"Through this new tax credit, we can do our part to promote the concept of economic and environmental justice while ensuring that low-income individuals and their communities can benefit from the green economy.

Representative Amodei was joined virtually by the Director of the United States Mint, David J. Ryder, and in person by the Director of the Nevada State Museum, Myron Freedman, for this historic presentation.\n\n\u201cThe historical significance of the Carson City Mint is an integral part of who we are. Today, we celebrated the 100th anniversary of the last Morgan Dollar minted in the U.S. It is only fitting that the Carson City Mint played such a significant role in numismatic history and in this Commemorative Morgan Silver Dollar Coin Program. When Congress passed the 1921 Silver Dollar Coin Anniversary Act, not only did it preserve this American legacy, but it also put more money back into the pockets of American taxpayers,\u201d said Rep. Amodei. \u201cToday, I was honored to present a 2021 Commemorative \u201cCC\u201d mint mark Morgan Dollar to the Nevada State Museum. I thank U.S. Mint Director Ryder, whose collaboration has been integral to the legislation authorizing this program and the inclusion of the \u201cCC\u201d mint mark. Thanks also goes to Director Freedman of the Nevada State Museum in hosting this historic moment.\u201d\n\nDuring his remarks, United States Mint Director David J. Ryder stated, \u201cthe coin presented today recognizes the Carson City Mint, with a \u201cCC\u201d Privy Mark, for its part in the history of the Morgan Silver Dollar. The Carson City Mint holds a special place in the United States Mint\u2019s 229 year history. The Carson City Mint opened in December of 1869 and produced its first coins on February 11, 1870, with coin production ending in 1893 due to reduced mining of the Comstock Lode. During its years of operation, the Carson City Mint coined more than $49,000,000 worth of silver and gold. From 1878 to 1885 and from 1889 to 1893, the Carson City Mint produced Morgan Silver Dollars.\u201d\n\n\u201cI am very grateful to Congressman Amodei for making it possible for us to add this historic 2021 CC Morgan Dollar to the collection of the Nevada State Museum. The coin and minting documentation autographed by the U.S. Mint Director, David Ryder, creates an artifact that absolutely belongs to the story of the Carson City Mint. We are honored to have the Congressman present the coin to us, and to hear Director Ryder\u2019s thoughts on the occasion as well,\u201d said Nevada State Museum Director, Myron Freedman.\n\nThe 2021 Commemorative Morgan Dollar and the Certificate of Authenticity presented by Congressman Amodei will be on display at the Nevada State Museum. Congressman Amodei personally minted this coin during his recent trip to the Philadelphia Mint.\n\nBACKGROUND\n\nIn Congress, Representative Amodei worked closely with the U.S. Mint, as well as U.S. Representative Andy Barr, to honor the Carson City Mint through the \u201cCC\u201d privy marks. On March 11, 2020, H.R. 6192, the 1921 Silver Dollar Coin Anniversary Act, was introduced in the House and was passed on September 22, 2020, by unanimous consent, an expedited process that is reserved for only the most consensus legislation. President Trump signed the bill into law on January 5, 2021.\n\nThere was a 175,000 limit to the 2021 Morgan Silver Dollar with the \u201cCC\u201d privy mark. Despite two-week pre-order windows being provided for each in the series, all the coins in each of the six segments sold out within 25 minutes of being made available, highlighting the strong collector demand for these historic coins.

This legislation is included in the Elder Justice Reauthorization and Modernization Act of 2021, which was introduced in the House Ways and Committee earlier this month.\n\n\"The COVID-19 pandemic has exacerbated the strain on America's long-term care workers, who faced low wages and challenging work conditions even before the current crisis,\" said Congressman Steven Horsford. \"My grandmother spent nearly three decades in a nursing home after a debilitating stroke, and I know the difference that high-quality care can make. The Nursing Home Workforce Support and Expansion Act will invest in long-term care workers \u2014 who are overwhelmingly women of color \u2014 to help nursing homes retain their vital skills while expanding the workforce by attracting new and diverse talent. I look forward to working with our partners to advance this legislation and ensure that long-term care workers have the support they need to protect our loved ones.\"\n\n\"For too long, the caregiving workforce has been underpaid and undervalued for their critical work,\" said Congresswoman Barbara Lee. \"Women of color hold a majority of these roles and have risked their lives on the frontlines of this pandemic \u2013 including caring for the elderly in nursing homes. Guaranteeing fair wages, health care, and child care for our nation's caregivers is a matter of racial and economic justice. I'm proud to work with Congressman Horsford to introduce the Nursing Home Workforce Support and Expansion Act.\"\n\n\"As our population ages, it is important that staffing at our long-term care facilities keeps pace. I'm proud to cosponsor the Nursing Home Workforce Support and Expansion Act to bolster this critical element of our health care safety net by providing aid to recruit and retain qualified staff,\" said Congressman Steve Cohen.\n\n\"Care is one of the strongest pillars of our economy, yet those who do this work \u2014 disproportionately Black and brown women, often immigrants \u2014 are undersupported, undervalued and undercompensated. Care workers have carried an even heavier burden throughout this pandemic, with little relief in sight. It's absolutely essential that we invest in the well-being of our nursing home workforce, and I thank Rep. Horsford for leading on this important issue,\" said Congressman Jamaal Bowman.\n\n\"Direct care workers are the heart of aging services, and the COVID pandemic has underscored the need to invest in this essential workforce,\" said Katie Smith Sloan, president and CEO of LeadingAge. \"The Nursing Home Workforce Support and Expansion Act will help long-term care providers recruit and retain much-needed care professionals, leading to better care for millions of older Americans. LeadingAge thanks Congressman Horsford for championing this bill, which will help make America a better place to grow old.\"\n\nThe Nursing Home Workforce Support and Expansion Act provides funding for grants to states to support workers providing in post-acute and long-term care (LTC) settings. The grants are provided to states and territories based on their population of adults over 65 years of age and people with disabilities, and to tribes and tribal organizations through a consultation process.\n\nThe Nursing Home Workforce Support and Expansion Act will help the long-term care industry be competitive in the job market. As job openings rise, long-term care facilities are losing qualified staff to other industries that have higher wages and better benefits. Turnover in the long-term care industry \u2014 which can be as high as 300 percent \u2014 has made it difficult for these facilities to put steady COVID-19 protections in place and provide high-quality care. Congressman Horsford's legislation provides funding to pay long-term care workers competitive wages and offer stronger benefits, leading to lower turnover and better care for Nevadans who need long-term care. This legislation would also serve to attract, recruit, and retain new talent into the long-term care industry.\n\nFunding from the Nursing Home Workforce Support and Expansion Act must be used to:\n\nProvide wage subsidies to employees in post-acute and long-term care positions\n\nProvide student loan repayment or tuition assistance to eligible individuals, who include long-term care workers and those training to be long-term care workers\n\nGuarantee affordable and accessible childcare for eligible individuals\n\nProvide transportation assistance to eligible individuals\n\nFunding may be used to:\n\nEstablish a reserve fund for emergency financial assistance\n\nProvide in-kind resource donations, such as interview clothing and conference attendance fees\n\nProvide assistance with activities designed to lower barriers to employment, including legal assistance\n\nSupport eligible employers in offering not less than two weeks of paid leave per year\n\nThe Nursing Home Workforce Support and Expansion Act is supported by LeadingAge.\n\nThe full text of the bill can be found here.\n\nA summary of the bill can be found here.", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-06T20:11:17Z"], ["https://horsford.house.gov/media/press-releases/congressman-horsford-votes-to-pass-landmark-bill-to-protect-the-freedom-to-vote", "Congressman Horsford Votes to Pass Landmark Bill to Protect the Freedom to Vote", "2021-08-24", "2021", "2021-08", "Democrat", "House", "NV", "Steven Horsford", "H001066", "horsford.house.gov", "horsford", "https://horsford.house.gov/media/press-releases", "scraper", "WASHINGTON, D.C. \u2014 Today, Congressman Steven Horsford (D-NV-04) voted to pass H.R. 4, the John R.

I'm glad to see this bill pass by a wide margin in the House, and I urge my colleagues in the Senate to move quickly and pass its essential protections into law.\"\n\nFor nearly 50 years, the Voting Rights Act of 1965 (VRA) maintained key protections against voter discrimination and protected the fundamental freedom to vote. The VRA required localities with a history of voter discrimination to seek federal approval (or \"preclearance\") before making changes to election laws. Since its passage in 1965, the Voting Rights Act was reauthorized five times under Republican and Democratic presidents, most recently in July 2006 under President George W. Bush. The reauthorization passed overwhelmingly in the House and unanimously in the Senate before being signed by President Bush. In 2013's Shelby County v. Holder decision, the Supreme Court struck down Section 4(b) of the VRA, which outlined the process for determining which localities were required to follow the preclearance process.\n\nWhile the state of Nevada has worked to make voting more accessible, the Shelby decision opened the door for states to enact discriminatory voting laws that target communities of color. This year alone, 18 states have enacted at least 30 new laws that would restrict access to the ballot and place disproportionate burdens on voters of color. On July 1, 2021, the Supreme Court upheld racially discriminatory voter restrictions in Arizona, despite evidence that these laws intentionally targeted Latino and other minority voters.\n\nIf passed by the Senate, H.R. 4 would restore the VRA, strengthen federal oversight of our elections, and ensure critical voter protections for Native Americans, naturalized citizens, and people with disabilities.\n\nH.R. 4 would also:\n\nAllow federal courts to immediately halt potentially discriminatory voting practices until a final ruling is made, proactively protecting the right to vote.\n\nGive the U.S. Attorney General authority to request federal observers anywhere in the country where discriminatory voting practices pose a serious threat.\n\nRequire reasonable public notice for voting changes. Include a retrogression standard for already-enacted but not-yet-implemented measures.\n\nHelp plaintiffs seek injunctive relief for voting rights violations in the lead-up to an election.\n\nEstablish a grant program for small jurisdictions to help them comply with the bill's various notice requirements.", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-06T20:11:17Z"], ["https://horsford.house.gov/media/press-releases/horsford-castor-dingell-and-casten-join-labor-and-environment-leaders-to-call-for-ambitious-investments-in-jobs-justice-and-climate-through-the-build-back-better-budget", "Horsford, Castor, Dingell, and Casten Join Labor and Environment Leaders to Call for Ambitious Investments in Jobs, Justice, and Climate through the Build Back Better Budget", "2021-08-23", "2021", "2021-08", "Democrat", "House", "NV", "Steven Horsford", "H001066", "horsford.house.gov", "horsford", "https://horsford.house.gov/media/press-releases", "scraper", "WASHINGTON, D.C. \u2014 Today, Congressman Steven Horsford (D-NV-04), Congresswoman Kathy Castor (D-FL-14), Congresswoman.

Pollution is destroying communities, taking lives, and dumping the costs of the climate crisis on those who can least afford them. Congress must step up to make generational investments that will employ Americans as we expand clean electricity, secure clean air and water, and manufacture electric vehicles.

Global climate change is real,\" said Congresswoman Dingell. \"We must use this once in a generation opportunity to build back better. We need to upgrade our power grid, move from the internal combustion engine to electric vehicles, get lead our of water pipes for every school child in America, support manufacturing and bring back our supply chain, and ensure every home in America from urban, to suburban, to rural has access to high speed internet. We must ensure that America stays competitive and we cannot wait another minute to act.\"\n\n\"The recent IPCC report wasn't just a code red for humanity, it was a stark reminder for lawmakers that the time for baffling half measures has come to a close. With deadly droughts, wildfires, hurricanes, and flash floods devastating communities across the country, we've entered an era of consequences. From investing in American-made electric vehicles to passing a Clean Electricity Payment Program so that we can get to 100% clean electricity by 2035, we cannot afford to let this once-in-a-generation opportunity to protect families and small businesses, prevent economic catastrophe, create jobs, and grow our economy pass us by.

Lewis Voting Rights Act will strengthen protections against voter discrimination, honor the heroes who fought for voting rights, and ensure that our elections reflect the will of the people.\"\n\nThe VRA requires states with a history of discriminatory voting laws to seek federal preclearance before making changes to election laws. In the 2013 Shelby County v. Holder ruling, the Supreme Court struck down Section 4(b) of the VRA, which outlined the qualifications that determine which states are required to pre-clear their election changes. Last month, the Supreme Court's conservative majority upheld Arizona's discriminatory anti-voter laws, which disproportionately target Latino voters and other voters of color.\n\nFollowing these Supreme Court rulings, state legislatures have rushed to enact laws that undermine the freedom to vote. This year alone, lawmakers in 49 states have introduced more than 400 bills restricting access to the ballot box. H.R. 4 will protect our democracy by preventing this voter suppression and ensuring that every eligible voter can participate in the political process.\n\nTo read a summary of H.R. 4, click here.\n\nMedia Contact\n\nGeneva Kropper | Geneva.Kropper@mail.house.gov | 202-849-0251", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-06T20:11:17Z"], ["https://horsford.house.gov/media/press-releases/statement-from-congressman-horsford-on-water-shortage-declaration-for-lake-mead", "Statement from Congressman Horsford on Water Shortage Declaration for Lake Mead", "2021-08-17", "2021", "2021-08", "Democrat", "House", "NV", "Steven Horsford", "H001066", "horsford.house.gov", "horsford", "https://horsford.house.gov/media/press-releases", "scraper", "WASHINGTON, D.C. \u2014 Today, Congressman Steven Horsford (D-NV-04) released the following statement on the federal water shortage declaration for Lake Mead.\n\n\"The water shortage declaration for Lake Mead is more evidence of the dangerous threat that climate change poses to communities in the West,\" said Congressman Steven Horsford. \"As we work to accelerate the transition to renewable energy and slow the pace of climate change, I will keep pushing for fair water distribution policies that ensure a consistent supply of clean water in Nevada for generations to come.\"\n\nCongressman Horsford is a co-sponsor of the Large Scale Water Recycling Project Investment Act, a bill that would combat the water crisis at Lake Mead by allowing the federal government to provide matching funding for water recycling and reuse projects, including those in the Colorado River Basin.\n\nUnder the bipartisan Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, Nevada would receive $403 million over five years to improve water infrastructure across the state and ensure clean, safe drinking water for all families.

President Biden inherited this from President Trump, but I guess for one of the first times, he agrees with President Trump. They both agree that we ought to get out of Afghanistan.

The crisis is this commander in chief, who ostensibly runs the most powerful nation on the planet, in the last 96 hours, has embarrassed and saddened Gold Star families, allies, veterans, women's groups, you name it, with the inability to perceive and react professionally to being overrun in a country that we've been in for 20 years. And saying to those people who are worried about women's issues that we are going to engage in diplomacy with the Taliban\u2014wow. Haven't heard those two words in a sentence ever before. Diplomacy with the Taliban. Finally, it is true we went to Afghanistan to make America and our allies safer from threats of terrorism around the world.\n\n\"While I don't expect anybody to lay out plans for how we continue in that mission publicly, I sure hope there are plans for the future that are better than the evacuation from the airport at Kabul. Having a country that is run by one of the most brutal cultures in the history of the planet certainly makes an already dangerous world much more dangerous. And the fact we have left these dangerous people with our technology and equipment is another abject failure of policy, planning, and execution.

The Carson City Mint produced Morgan silver dollars from 1878-1893, and these today are among the most sought-after U.S. coins by numismatic collectors. After legislation I helped draft was signed into law by President Trump earlier this year, the Mint began producing the first new Morgan and Peace dollars in many years.

Having been born and raised in Carson City, I am glad this crucial chapter of Nevada's early history is being honored with the inclusion of the iconic \"CC\" mark in the program. At the Philadelphia Mint, where the Morgan Dollars honoring the Carson City and New Orleans Mints are being produced, I enjoyed visiting with the designers, engravers, and production staff integral to this new program.\n\n\"Since the Mint funds itself, it is one bureau capable of actually putting more money back into the pockets of American taxpayers.
