Rep. Steven Horsford, a U.S. Congressman representing Nevada’s 4th district since 2019, addressed the challenges facing rural healthcare and tax policy for tipped workers in a series of posts on September 3, 2025.
In his first post at 17:29 UTC, Horsford wrote, “When rural hospitals close, families get stranded without care. Even in Las Vegas, we feel the ripple effects, from ER backlogs to higher costs. We need to strengthen independent health networks & keep rural care alive. #Ruralhealth

At the same time, Horsford commented on recent federal action regarding tax policy for tipped workers: “The Trump admin listened to @repdinatitus, @RepSusieLee & me—we demanded clarity on who qualifies for “No Tax on Tips.” Workers deserve answers, and now they have them. https://t.co/BHzbkEQeE0”.
