Former Nevada Rep. Horsford Won't Run for Congress in 2016

CARSON CITY, Nev. (AP) —  Former Democratic Rep. Steven Horsford of Nevada says he won't run for Congress in 2016 after his surprise loss in November, but he hasn't ruled out a future bid for public office.

Horsford said Wednesday that his newly formed company, Resource+, is partnering with the communications and public affairs firm R&R Partners, and will focus on diversity marketing and workforce development.

R&R says Horsford will be a senior vice president and will serve as managing director of the firm's Washington, D.C., office.

Horsford started his career with R&R in 1996. He served as a Nevada state senator for a decade before winning a seat representing the 4th Congressional District, which includes North Las Vegas and part of rural central Nevada.

He served one term in Congress before losing to Republican Rep. Cresent Hardy.
