Las Vegas, NV
Joined February 2011
I’m excited to announce that I have been named a National Co-Chair for the Harris-Walz campaign. Together, we will fight and we will win. We’re not going back!

I've joined my colleagues in calling for the investigation and expulsion of complicit House members in the attempted coup on January 6th. The breach on Capitol Hill led by domestic terrorists calls for an examination of the United States Capitol Police (USCP).

When Republicans weaponize DEI, they’re talking about you and I. There is nothing wrong with diversity. There is nothing wrong with equity. There is nothing wrong with inclusion. Calling someone a “DEI hire” is racist and rooted in anti-Blackness and I won’t stand for it.

I will not stand idly by while other Members of Congress use their official, government paid for platform, for hate speech that threatens communities. It's wrong. Rep. Higgins and all those using his same language must be held accountable.

My mother immigrated to this country from Trinidad, she’s one of the hardest working people I know. This will be the first election she votes in. As a constituent of mine, I plan on earning her vote just as I plan on earning every vote this November.

Great to have @JoeBiden back in my district! Mario’s Westside Market is a community institution—I brought then candidate Biden here back in 2020. Thanks to our work with the President, Mario’s has expanded and is now better positioned to serve our community.
It was great to grab a bite to eat with my friends Rep. @StevenHorsford, Rep. @Nanette4CA, and members of the Congressional Black Caucus at Mario's Westside Market earlier this week. Excited for my next visit!

I am very proud to support Joe Biden for President. Joe knows Nevada, he helped pass the Affordable Care Act, and he prevented Yucca from being the dumping ground of America. Joe has worked side-by-side with our labor leaders and is the best candidate to defeat Donald Trump.

In 2021, @KamalaHarris cast the tie-breaking vote in the Senate to protect Teamsters’ pensions. As a co-chair of the House Labor Caucus, I couldn’t be more proud to see our Nevada Teamsters endorse Kamala Harris for President. She’s fighting for us.

Resign @Jim_Jordan. Don’t talk to anyone about unity and healing. Your support of this insurrection is why five people are dead, including a Capitol Police Officer. I will do my job and hold all those accountable for this insurrection against our government and democracy.
“Unity and healing” doesn’t happen with cancel culture and impeachment.

121 Republican Members of Congress violated their oath of office and sought to overturn the will of the democratic electorate after the Capitol was attacked. Their seditious actions have no place in the People’s House.

Today, I’m proudly endorsing @KamalaHarris for President. She is the most qualified candidate and will defeat Donald Trump this November by running on a strong record and providing a vision for our country. I look forward to working to elect her as the 47th President.

What happened Wednesday is not only a result of incompetence from USCP leadership but a direct result of President Donald Trump and Republicans fanning the flames of terrorist groups.

Nevada reflects the diversity of the country and our voters deserve to have a say. We need to let the majority of African Americans -- the base of the Democratic party -- have a say in who we select. We know @JoeBiden and more importantly, he knows us.

As representative of #NV04, where Nye County is, I have news for the Chairman. It’s not 1776 and the failed attempt of a coup involving some Republicans is sedition against the will of the people and our democracy. Any suggestion otherwise is a refusal to accept reality.

I’m a front line member that helped win the House in 2018. It’s not about being progressive/moderate, it’s about being pragmatic. @JoeBiden delivered for America as the VP to the 1st AfAm President, delivering: ACA, Recovery Act, & plans to move forward. He can defeat Trump.

Every vote counts! Let’s make it happen #Georgia!.
When they replace Trump-Pence in 15 days, our new POTUS and VP need a Senate that works with our House Majority to help America’s workers. Every vote for @ossoff and @ReverendWarnock is a vote for $2000 checks, ending #covid, health care, and a growing economy #ForThePeople.

Unlike my opponent, I’m concerned with how ALL people in Nevada’s Fourth District are doing—including Black people, who make up 15% of our district. You cannot serve a district if you are willing to leave some of us behind. 1/2.

.@JoeBiden is back! He’s the best positioned candidate to defeat Donald Trump, stand up against the NRA, build on the ACA, and protect union jobs. I know he will protect the House Democratic Majority and help us win back the Senate.
Based on our internal data, Biden will come in a strong second tonight in Nevada. In the entrance polls, Biden won .✅the Af-Am vote .✅ voters over 65 .✅ voters who oppose Medicare for All. Make no mistake: The Biden comeback starts tonight in Nevada.

To date, the failed coup on Jan 6th resulted in 6 deaths, including 2 US Capitol Police Officers. I’m calling on my Republican colleagues to condemn Zimmerman’s letter, affirm the election results, and reject any and all forms of insurrection against our federal government.

Zimmerman, your letter is not patriotism and it must be removed. Every Republican in Nevada needs to condemn these lies and this assault on America. President-designate @JoeBiden and Vice President-designate @KamalaHarris will take office on January 20th.

Vice President Harris was a District Attorney. Vice President Harris was an Attorney General for the largest state in the U.S. Vice President Harris was a Senator for the largest state in the U.S. Vice President Harris has been the VICE PRESIDENT now for 3.5 years.

Implying that “diversity, equity, and inclusion” is the same as “unqualified” is racism and ablism at the same time. And when it is applied to Vice President Kamala Harris, it’s just plain wrong. There isn’t a single person more qualified in EITHER party to be President.

TL;DR on Trump’s appearance at the NABJ in Chicago today: he lied and he made racist, anti-Black comments against Vice President Kamala Harris. He showed who he is. In November, we’ll show him who we are. VOTE.

53 years ago, President Lyndon Johnson, with Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. next to him, signed the VRA. In recent years, the assault on the right to vote has become more sophisticated and dangerous. Threats to our rights have not subsided, and we need to stand up and fight back.
