LAS VEGAS (KTNV) — The balance of power in Congress could change after the 2022 Midterm Election.

One race to watch closely is Nevada's House District 4. The district is still relatively new, created as a result of the 2010 Census. Voters elected their first representative in 2012 — Democrat Steven Horsford, who is the incumbent. District 4 covers most of northern Clark County and has seen a lot of growth in recent years.

KTNV anchor Justin Hinton sat down with the major party candidates, Horsford and Republican challenger Sam Peters, to discuss the issues they want to tackle if they're elected.
