Nevada Democratic Rep. Steven Horsford has launched a new district-wide initiative called 'Congressman on the Job' that will place him directly at worksites throughout Nevada's 4th Congressional District. Horsford plans to spend time alongside employees to better understand the day-to-day challenges facing working families, including rising costs, supply chain issues, and the impact of federal policies.

Why it matters

This initiative aims to give Horsford firsthand experience with the struggles of workers and businesses in his district, which he can then bring back to Washington when debating policies that affect wages, the cost of goods, and access to healthcare.

The details

As part of the 'Congressman on the Job' series, Horsford will visit with grocery clerks, restaurant employees, warehouse workers, healthcare workers, and other essential employees to hear directly from both workers and employers about the pressures they face. The goal is to go beyond traditional public appearances and truly 'walk a mile in their shoes'.

  • The 'Congressman on the Job' series has already begun and will continue over the coming months.
