What is on the agenda for the Congressional Black Caucus in the 118 th Congress?
In January 2023, Congressman Horsford became the 28th Chair of the largest class ever (58 Members) of the Congressional Black Caucus (CBC), which has fought for over 50 years to empower African Americans and address their legislative concerns by pursuing a policy agenda that includes, but is not limited to, the following:
- reforming the criminal justice system and eliminating barriers to re-entry.
- combatting voter suppression.
- expanding access to world-class education from pre-k through post-secondary level.
- expanding access to quality, affordable health care and eliminating racial health disparities.
- expanding access to 21st century technologies, including broadband.
- strengthening protections for workers and expanding access to full, fairly compensated employment;
- expanding access to capital, contracts, and counseling for minority-owned businesses; and
- promoting U.S. foreign policy initiatives in Africa and other countries that are consistent with the fundamental right of human dignity.
After making history as Nevada’s first African-American State Senate Majority Leader, serving as head of the Culinary Training Academy – the largest job training program in Nevada, and as a former small business owner, he brings a principled focus on job creation, community development and skills development to Congress. Rep. Horsford sits on the House Financial Services and Armed Services Committees.
About the Politics and Policy Series:
The Policy and Politics series is a benefit to our donors who supported the PAC and give them an opportunity to exchange thoughts with our nation’s leaders. The series invites elected officials to discuss their efforts on behalf of our community and serves as a platform for educating the Boule 1904 PAC on how to leverage their expertise, resources, and networks to help accomplish those goals.
