What Steven Horsford said, and what was done

“Mr. Speaker, I rise today in strong support of the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act, and I am casting my vote for people, not for corporations. Across the United States and in my home State of Nevada, the dream of homeownership has been slipping further out of reach for working families.”

“Mr. Speaker, I thank the distinguished ranking member for yielding. Mr. Speaker, I rise as a son of the labor movement and co-chair of the Congressional Labor Caucus in strong support of the Faster Labor Contracts Act.”

“Mr. Speaker, I rise today during National Police Week to honor those who put their lives on the line to keep our communities safe. Today, I bring one name to this Chamber: Officer Jason Roscow of the North Las Vegas Police Department, who gave his life in the line of duty on February 4, 2025.”

“Mr. Speaker, I rise today with a heavy heart to honor the life and legacy of Ms. Ruby Duncan who sadly passed away yesterday surrounded by her loving family in Las Vegas.”

“Mr. Speaker, I appreciate the leader for yielding me time. Republicans first called this the big, beautiful bill. Now they are calling it tax cuts for working families.”

“Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the life and legacy of a remarkable community leader, devoted public servant, and proud son of Nevada, Pastor William O'Neill McCurdy, Sr.”

“Raised in the Historic Westside of Las Vegas, Pastor McCurdy was a proud product of the city he would dedicate his life to serving. He graduated from Valley High School and later attended Western Nevada College in Carson City.”

“Mr. Speaker, for more than a year now, working Members and families have been forced to pay the price for Donald Trump's illegal tariffs. Let's call them what they are.”

“Mr. Speaker, if Republicans block this vote, they are voting to keep your money. They are telling Main Street America: Take us to court. They are choosing delay over relief and politics over people.”

“Mr. Speaker, the President has disregard and disrespect for the American people when the Supreme Court told him that his actions were illegal, they were unconstitutional, and it is time to give the American people their money back, to give them relief--not disrespect, not disregard, but their money back.”

“Mr. Speaker, President Trump loves tariffs. He calls them beautiful. He says they protect American workers, but here is the cold, hard truth: The American people are paying them.”

“Mr. Speaker, I thank the gentlewoman from the Commonwealth of Virginia for yielding. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to mark the beginning of Black History Month and to honor more than 100 years of Black history in America.”

“While families are struggling to make ends meet, this administration is attempting to rewrite history. Just recently, the current occupant of the White House claimed that civil rights-era protections left White Americans ``very badly treated.'' These false and dangerous claims tarnish Dr.”

“Mr. Speaker, I thank the ranking member for yielding time. Mr. Speaker, this debate comes down to one simple question: What is fair for tipped workers? All across America, and especially in my home State of Nevada, tipped workers show up every day, serving food and cleaning rooms.”

“Mr. Speaker, I rise to speak about being on the right side of history. I have taken the time to listen directly to the people of Nevada's Fourth District and all across my great State.”

“Mr. Speaker, after 15 years of talk, House Republicans have finally brought their healthcare bill to the floor, yet it fails working families. Despite its name, it does nothing to lower costs.”

“Mr. Speaker, despite repeatedly claiming to be the most pro-worker President and administration in history, since taking office, President Trump took action earlier this year that stripped collective bargaining rights from nearly 1 million Federal employees.”

“Mr. Speaker, I thank the gentlewoman from the Commonwealth of Virginia for yielding. ``What is right? . . . If we act on the answer with courage and commitment, we will overcome all that stands between us and the glory of a truly beloved community.'' Those are the words of our dear friend and colleague, Representative John Lewis.”

“I thank Chairman Westerman, Ranking Member Jared Huffman as well as Representative Hoyle and the rest of the Natural Resources Committee for allowing this measure to pass through committee and to come to the floor.”

“Madam Chair, I thank the gentleman for yielding. Madam Chair, I rise today not in favor or opposition. I rise in defense, defense of 811,000 Nevadans and countless people across the country whose lives are in danger.”

“Mr. Speaker, I rise today with my colleagues in the Congressional Black Caucus to honor my history--our history--American history . . . I'm here to honor Black history during Black History Month.”

“Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor an amazing activist, educator, organizer, trailblazer, family man, and friend. Mayor Theron Goynes was a pillar of the North Las Vegas community, and Nevadans said good-bye to him last week.”
