Nevada Congressman Steven Horsford is passing the torch as the chair of the Congressional Black Caucus (CBC), making way for New York Congresswoman Yvette Clarke to lead during the 119th Congress. Under his leadership, the CBC championed justice and equity during pivotal national moments.
Clarke now steps in as the caucus prepares for its largest membership in history, with 62 members in the House and Senate. Horsford, reelected to represent Nevada’s 4th congressional district, called Clarke a leader with “immense capabilities” ready to confront challenges that impact Black communities across the nation.
Clarke’s tenure will focus on combating civil rights erosion and ensuring economic, health care, and educational opportunities for Black Americans. This historic transition marks a significant moment for the CBC as it remains at the forefront of shaping policy to uplift marginalized communities.
