As part of the series, Congressman Horsford joined TSP Bakery, a long-standing small business in the district, where he worked alongside staff to better understand the day-to-day realities of running a local business. He met with owner Kari Garcia, who shared the growing challenges of affording health care. Garcia explained that her premiums have increased by $180 compared to last year, a cost that is putting added pressure on her business and bottom line. "Kari isn't asking for a handout. She's asking for a fair shot.” Rep. Horsford explained “She built something from nothing, created jobs, and still lies awake wondering if one medical bill could wipe it all out. We fought to expand the ACA tax credits and we had it. But Republicans let it expire. They found the votes to hand billionaires a tax cut but couldn't find the will to protect people like Kari. That's not a budget decision that's a values decision. We're not done fighting." Since rejoining the House Ways and Means Committee, Congressman Horsford has been a leading voice in the fight to expand affordable coverage. During markup of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, he introduced an amendment to permanently extend the Advanced Premium Tax Credit – relief which supported over 96,000 working Nevadans and their families during the 2025. The “Congressman on the Job” series continues to highlight how decisions made in Washington directly impact communities across Nevada, with a focus on lowering costs and strengthening economic security for working families. | 1 | 2026-05-28T06:29:45Z | 2026-05-28T06:31:18Z |
