THREE PRO-CHOICE CHAMPIONS FOR NEVADA & THE NATION
A CHAMPION FOR NEVADA IN THE U.S. HOUSE: Congresswoman Dina Titus is running for reelection to continue her outstanding career of public service. Currently in her sixth term in the U.S. House of Representatives, Rep. Titus is the dean of Nevada’s Congressional delegation. As a professor, Dr. Titus taught American and Nevada government classes from 1979 through 2011 at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV) where she has professor emeritus status. She is an accomplished non-fiction writer known for her expertise in the history and policies related to nuclear power, weaponry, and waste. Rep. Titus was elected to the Nevada state Senate in 1988, and served as the Democratic Minority Leader from 1993 to 2008. She was first elected to the U.S. House of Representatives in November 2008. Rep. Titus and her husband UNLV Professor Emeritus Thomas C. Wright, a Latin American historian, have been married for over 35 years and live in Las Vegas.
Rep. Titus is a proud member of the House Committees on Transportation and Infrastructure, Foreign Affairs, and Homeland Security. In 2018, Rep. Titus was elected to become the Chair of a key Transportation and Infrastructure Subcommittee, where she works to help Nevada’s communities better respond to natural disasters, address the devastating impacts of climate change, and fight for infrastructure projects that will benefit the most vulnerable. After helping the Las Vegas community recover from the deadliest mass shooting in modern American history, Rep. Titus has emerged as one of the leading voices in Congress for substantive action to reduce gun violence. She is a strong advocate for the DREAM Act and comprehensive immigration reform. An expert on matters of nuclear energy and waste, Rep. Titus leads the effort in Congress to oppose the revitalization of Yucca Mountain.
This is a must-win re-election fight. Rep. Titus gave Nevadans a new voice in Washington when she defeated a Republican incumbent in 2008 — being outspent $3 million to $1.8 million. Redistricting has made her seat significantly more competitive, but we know she has what it takes to win with our help. We cannot take anything for granted in this newly redrawn district, as Republicans do everything in their power to retake this seat and the majority. With so much of our progress at stake, let’s show Rep. Titus our full support and keep this champion for Nevadans in the House and keep the Democrats in control of the House
