Rep. Steven Horsford (D-NV) managed to survive a dogfight election race against insurance agency owner Republican Sam Peters, keeping the battleground seat in Democratic control.
"As I embark on another term serving the people of this great district in the U.S. House of Representatives, I remain committed to protecting fundamental rights for women, preserving Social Security and Medicare, and building an economic agenda that creates opportunities for everyone, leaving no one behind," Horsford said in a statement following his projected victory.Horsford held a 51.5% to 48.5% edge over Peters as of early Friday morning with about 93% of the vote in.
“I know the people of this district because I’m rooted in this state. I have experience not only in Congress, but in the state Senate and leading a nonprofit for more than 10 years, as well as being a business owner,” Horsford told the Las Vegas Review-Journal. He then recaptured the seat in 2018 during the blue wave and was reelected in 2020. The congressman was embroiled in controversy for an extramarital affair to which he publicly confessed with a former intern of the late Sen. Harry Reid. She was about 15 years younger than him.
