Horsford declares candidacy for Congressional Black Caucus Chair

Rep. Steven Horsford (D-NV) announced that he would throw his name into the ring to lead the politically influential Congressional Black Caucus, announcing his candidacy to succeed current chair Rep. Joyce Beatty (D-OH).

In a letter to Beatty outlining the move, Horsford cited the diversity of his congressional district — which encompasses parts of Las Vegas, North Las Vegas and much of Nevada’s rural center — and what he described as a record of bipartisanship, both as a state legislator in Nevada and in Congress, including work with Republican governors during his time as the state Senate’s majority leader.

Horsford currently serves as the caucus’ first vice chair, and briefly served as the CBC’s liaison with the Biden White House transition team in late 2020 and early 2021.

Created in 1971, the CBC had 58 members during the current Congress. Largely composed of Democrats, the group has grown over recent elections to include not only veteran politicians of the Civil Rights era, but also newer members of the Democratic Party’s progressive wing.

Father, son charged with attempted murder of Black FedEx driver

A father and son are facing attempted murder charges for allegedly chasing and shooting at a Black FedEx driver in Lincoln County (Mississipi) earlier this year.

The Daily Leader reported FedEx driver, D’Monterrio Gibson, 24, was leaving the driveway of Gregory and Brandon Case’s home around 7:30 p.m. on January 24 when the incident happened.

Initially, Brandon was charged with shooting into a motor vehicle, and Gregory was charged with conspiracy. However, a Lincoln County grand jury indicted both men on charges of attempted murder, conspiracy and shooting into a motor vehicle.

Their bonds were set at $500,000 each, and they have since bonded out. A trial date has not been set as of November 2022.
