Shortly after, he expressed appreciation for law enforcement in another post dated October 21, 2025: “I’m thankful for law enforcement’s swift action to protect Leader @RepJeffries. January 6th was one of the darkest days in our nation’s history. Instead of holding violent rioters accountable, President Trump pardoned thousands of them, many of whom have gone on to commit more https://t.co/BPZnDryA5A”.
Later that day, Horsford highlighted an article addressing renewable energy policy: “Great article by @reviewjournal on how the Trump Administration’s directives have stalled solar costing jobs and investment here in Nevada. Our delegation sent a letter demanding the Interior Department reverse course and let clean energy move forward. Read more here “.

Before his tenure in Congress, he served in the Nevada Senate from 2009 to 2013 and graduated from the University of Nevada, Reno in 2014 with a bachelor’s degree.
