Tracker:In August 2010, Horsford sent an email to potential supporters of 2010 Democratic candidates, offering exclusive receptions and dinners with him and other Democratic leaders in return for campaign contributions. For example, the email stated, "Organizations or individuals that contribute $25,000 or more will receive a private dinner with the Senate majority leader and chairs of all the standing committees... The dinner will permit up to 10 invited guests to accompany the Victory Leadership Circle Member." State Republican Party Chairman Mark Amodei spoke out against Horsford's email, saying it implied that regular citizens would not be allowed meetings with legislators unless they "pay to play." Horsford rescinded the offer and publicly apologized, saying, "If our fundraising letter has been misconstrued, we deeply apologize."
In May 2020, former US Senate intern Gabriela Linder told the Las Vegas Review-Journal that she had an affair with Horsford beginning in 2009 and ending in 2019. Linder had begun sharing alleged details of the affair under a pseudonym on a podcast and linked Twitter account titled "Mistress for Congress" in April 2020. She said that she met Horsford while interning for Sen. Harry Reid (D) in 2009. A spokeswoman for Horsford issued the following statement confirming that Horsford engaged in an extramarital affair: "It is true that I had a previous consensual relationship with another adult outside of my marriage, over the course of several years. I’m deeply sorry to all of those who have been impacted by this very poor decision, most importantly my wife and family."
