Nevada U.S. Sens. Catherine Cortez Masto and Jacky Rosen have both issued a statement saying that an extramarital affair involving Democratic Rep. Steven Horsford is a private matter.
Horsford has acknowledged the affair with Gabriela Linder after she revealed details in a podcast.
In a statement, Senator Cortez Masto says she has read the Las Vegas Review-Journal’s report and believes this is a personal matter for Congressman Horsford and his family – while a spokesperson for Rosen also said it’s a personal matter and she wants to respect the family’s privacy at this time.
Horsford meanwhile, according to a staffer, has no intention of resigning – and is seeking his third, nonconsecutive term in the House.
