New Democrat Coalition Congratulates New Dem Steven Horsford on Becoming Chairman of the Congressional Black Caucus
New Dem Reps. Troy Carter (LA-02), Lucy McBath (GA-06), and Marilyn Strickland (WA-10) will also serve on the Congressional Black Caucus’ Executive Committee
Today, New Dem Chair Suzan DelBene (WA-01) released the below statement celebrating New Dem Rep. Steven Horsford’s (NV-04) election to Chairman of the Congressional Black Caucus:
“New Dems are incredibly proud of our colleague and friend Rep. Steven Horsford on becoming the next Chairman of the Congressional Black Caucus. Rep. Horsford is a dedicated and active Member of our Coalition who has been key to passing policies focused on improving the lives of the American people.
“As a Member of our NDC Health Care Task Force and Inflation Working Group, Rep. Horsford has worked with New Dems on the issues Americans care about most from improving Americans’ access to quality health care, to tackling rising prices and keeping our communities safe. As a result, New Dems endorsed Rep. Horsford’s House-passed Break the Cycle of Violence Act earlier this year to invest in effective community-based violence reduction initiatives and break cycles of violence that disproportionately impact young people of color.
"We also congratulate fellow New Dem Members Troy Carter, Lucy McBath, and Marilyn Strickland on their elections to CBC Leadership as Second Vice Chair, Secretary, and Whip, respectively. New Dems look forward to continuing our work with Chairman Horsford and Reps. Carter, McBath, and Strickland on our shared priorities in the next Congress and growing our partnership with the Congressional Black Caucus.”
