Mesquite resident Annie Black, currently representing District 19 in the Nevada Assembly, announced on twitter on Tuesday that she is entering the race for the U.S. Congress Fourth Congressional District seat currently held by Steven Horsford.
Hosford held the seat from 2010-2014, but then lost it to Mesquite’s Crescent Hardy. He took the seat back in 2018, again running against Hardy.
In her twitter post, Black said, “The Nevada I know and love is the land of opportunity, but Biden-Horsford economic policies are destroying our state and bankrupting Nevadans. I’m running for Congress to get our economy going again and to fight for every Nevadans chance to work for their American Dream ”

Black, 40, served on the Mesquite City Council in 2018 and in 2020 defeated incumbent Chris Edwards for the Assembly seat.
She will face a number of candidates in the Republican primary in June, including Sam Peters, a former U.S. Air Force officer, and Jessie Vargas, a former boxing champion. Also joining the race is Chance Bonaventura, who serves as an aid to Las Vegas City Councilwoman Michele Fiore.
I’m getting to the point where almost anyone would get my vote over Congressman Horsford, who, after all, should represent the folks where he lives, in Washington, DC, if any.
just like we all figured, she used us a stepping stone to get to where she wanted to be… she has not done a damn thing for our town.
This is great news! I know Annie is well qualified and will do a great job representing the people of Nevada.
Very sorry to hear. No offense, but anyone who votes for her is a fool who can’t learn from the past. She doesn’t care about any of us one bit. She isn’t running for higher positions because she wants to make change, she just wants a fatter paycheck and to feed her ego. I don’t get how anyone in Mesquite can vote for someone who lied straight to out faces about her intentions. When running for city council, she was questioned if she actually planned on serving her full term on council, or if she was just using it as a stepping stone to make her look more qualified for a higher position. She assured us all that she wasn’t just using us and that she’d serve her full term. Well, we all know that was a lie, seeing as she began her run for assembly not even 2 years later. Then, barely 6 months into her term, she decided she didn’t want to play by the rules and got stripped of her voting ability for it. So let me ask, what HAS Annie done? She seems to really enjoy doing all she can to avoid doing her job, and instead just using each job to pad out her resume so she can go to higher and higher paying positions.
I agree with some of the above comments. Black doesn’t know what the meaning of constituent is. She’s just a little rich girl out for herself. 1. She has NEVER accomplished one single thing for her constituents. She has never succeeded in getting a bill passed. She went to the capitol on January 6 to overturn the election. She could careless about voters. She supports radical right wing republicans, not the platform of the republican party. She is the waste of a good vote and will get trounced by Horsford. She won’t be around long anyway, she’ll go to work for Desantis in Florida. She’s a loser.
