Focus on Creating Jobs Now

Steven Horsford believes there's no greater priority than putting people back to work. Steven is fighting for a jobs plan that:

-Makes tax cuts for the middle class, working families and small businesses permanent;

-Incentivizes small businesses to hire in the next 6 months by exempting payroll taxes on people who have been unemployed for at least one year;

-Reduces and eliminates the regulatory burden on small business to grow and expand, and;

-Repairs our roads and highways transit, passenger rail and aviation services to move people and products faster and safer. This triple win makes Nevada a better place to live and run a business -- while putting thousands of Nevadans to work.

Small businesses are key to putting Nevadans to work and diversifying our economy.

Steven is working to:

-Link federal resources and information offered by the Small Business Administration and the Minority Business Development Agency with local business owners to create jobs, increase access to capital and spur growth and expansion; and

-Conduct small business, minority and women owned entrepreneurial sessions to connect our local engines of economic growth to the suppliers and contracts that will help them grow and succeed;

-Hold federal agencies, particularly Transportation, accountable for meeting small & minority business owners procurement;

-Work in a bi-partisan approach to reduce the rising cost of health care so more small businesses can provide coverage for their employees.
