Nevada Congressman Steven Horsford Endorses Joe Biden for President

North Las Vegas, Nevada — Today, Nevada Congressman Steve Horsford released the following statement endorsing Joe Biden for President of the United States:
 
“While there’s so much attention on Iowa and New Hampshire as the first two early presidential states, Nevada best reflects the face of America, who we are today and who we will continue to be in the years to come. I’m proud to have been part of the team that put Nevada at the forefront of this presidential election process. When I caucus, I’ll stand with my neighbors, family and friends together. No matter who you support, we all want the same thing, to restore our democracy and defeat Donald Trump in November. 

“I’ll be supporting Joe Biden for President. He is ready to do the job of president on day one. And Joe knows Nevada. He campaigned with and served alongside Barack Obama during the 8 years of his successful, scandal-free presidency.  He committed to protect our state from becoming the nation’s nuclear waste dumping ground and helped to kill Yucca Mountain, the first Administration to do so.  Joe Biden worked to pass the Affordable Care Act, providing protections for 357,000 Nevadans with pre-existing conditions. He knows there’s more we must do to lower healthcare costs and bring down the price of prescription drugs, which is a top issue for most Nevadans.

“Joe Biden worked side-by-side with President Obama, and the men and women in labor, to turn around our declining economy after the Great Recession. Nevadans know Joe worked to stabilize our neighborhoods and to keep so many families from losing their homes to foreclosure.

“Joe Biden has been a champion on so many important issues from sponsoring the Violence Against Women’s Act (VAWA), to voting and civil rights. As Vice President, he led the effort to transform workforce and apprenticeship training programs and he knows we need real investment in education and will deliver on that promise. I’m proud to stand with Vice President Joe Biden.”

Congressman Horsford represents Nevada’s 4th District, which includes the City of North Las Vegas and northern Clark County. Before that he served in the Nevada State Senate, where he was the first African American majority leader from 2009 to 2013. Congressman Horsford is the 18th Congressional Black Caucus member and the seventh Frontline Democrat to endorse Biden for President. 

Joe Biden has received over 100 endorsers from across Nevada, including Congresswoman Dina Titus, former Senator and Governor Richard Bryan, former Governor Bob Miller, civil rights leader Dr. Robert Green, and three former Chairs of the Nevada State Democratic Party. Biden for President has announced more than 1,400 endorsements from national, state and local leaders, including current and former U.S. senators and representatives, governors, state elected officials, and community leaders.

Nevada State Assemblywomen Selena Torres and Dina Neal Announce Support for Joe Biden

Las Vegas, Nevada — Today, Nevada State Assemblywomen Selena Torres and Dina Neal announced their endorsement of Joe Biden for President of the United States.

“It is absolutely critical that we nominate the Democratic candidate that is best equipped to beat Donald Trump in the general election. Joe Biden’s broad and diverse coalition of support -- in addition to his authentic calls for re-unifying our country -- show me that he is that candidate,” said Assemblywoman Selena Torres, District 3. “As a Clark County public school teacher, the current administration’s attacks on our public education are extremely personal. The next president must possess the political will and sense of urgency necessary to undo the harm of Betsy Devos. He or she also will also be tasked with making progress on pressing issues like school overcrowding and keeping our schools safe from gun violence. Joe’s comprehensive education plans address the concerns I see daily and more importantly, I am confident that he is the leader that will be able to work closely with Congress to actually implement change. I’m proud to join Team Joe and am excited to do my part in ensuring he wins the caucus here in February.” 

“After many months of contemplation and review of practical, effective public policies that America can cash a check and pay for, I decided to endorse Joe Biden. I believe he is the transitional figure who can re-establish the Constitutional foundations of our American government that promote inclusion, equity, parity, and consensus. I believe he is the American figure who can restore a transparent government that embraces and respects the three branches of government and preserves the checks and balances established by the Constitution,” said Assemblywoman Dina Neal, District 7. “I believe he will provide a safeguard against factions who want to divide America and dismantle hard-fought civil rights achievements of this nation. We have come too far in building the American story of multiculturalism, integrity, and equal justice for all American citizens. I know he understands America is flawed, but it is nothing without the great human diversity and values that make the rich fabric of America. I also believe Joe has the capacity to repair our relationships with foreign countries through balanced international policies that protects American troops, workers and businesses. Finally, I believe on domestic policy, he has effective and practical solutions to expand health care to the working families who operate just above the poverty line, but who need sustainable and affordable access to health care. He has a plan for effective and practical solutions that integrate and respect rural American farms and allow them to  participate in global markets. I am supporting Biden because I want to be a part of the taking back the story of  ‘our’ America - one that recognizes Langston Hughes’ plea: ‘I, too, am America!’”

Both Torres and Neal represent portions of Greater Las Vegas in the Nevada State Assembly. Torres and Neal join more than 100 endorsers from across Nevada, including Congresswoman Dina Titus, former Senator and Governor Richard Bryan, former Governor Bob Miller, and three former Chairs of the Nevada State Democratic Party. Biden for President has announced more than 1,100 endorsements from national, state and local leaders, including current and former U.S. senators and representatives, governors, state elected officials, and community leaders.
