Statement from Dina Titus on State Sen. Ruben Kihuen withdrawal from NV CD1 race

February 7, 2012

LAS VEGAS– Tonight State Senator Ruben Kihuen withdrew from the Democratic Primary for the First Congressional District. Congresswoman Dina Titus released the following statement.
 
“Senator Kihuen is a dedicated public servant who has always put the interests of Nevada first. He ran a strong campaign that inspired young people to work for the good of our state. Now is the time to come together to reelect President Obama and elect Shelley Berkley, John Oceguera, Steven Horsford, and all Democrats running for office. Ruben is a rising star who has a bright career ahead of him fighting for Nevadans. I look forward to working with him to create jobs, advocate for minority interests, and diversify Nevada’s economy.”
 

Statement on Unemployment Numbers

Today Dina Titus, candidate for Nevada's Congressional District One, released this statement regarding today's unemployment figures released:

“The December unemployment figures are promising but also demonstrate the need for Congress to take bold action to get people working again as far too many people are still unemployed or underemployed. I urge Republicans to stop trying to score political points by attacking President Obama and instead work with Democrats to create jobs. I supported legislation that brought millions of dollars back to Nevada that created or saved thousands of jobs and in Congress I will continue to work to ensure every Nevadan that wants a job can find a job.”

Dina Titus Calls on House GOP to Reconvene and Pass Middle Class Tax Cut

Las Vegas – Dina Titus, candidate for Nevada’s 1st Congressional seat, today released the following statement calling on Speaker Boehner to call the House back into session to pass the payroll tax cut extension:
 
“House Republicans need to quit playing partisan politics and reconvene to pass the middle class tax cut. If Speaker Boehner and his caucus do not do their job and extend the payroll tax cut, Nevada families will see a tax hike on January 1st at a time when they can least afford it. Washington Republicans need to stop putting tax cuts for billionaires and tax breaks for special interests ahead of Nevada families and pass the middle class tax cut now.”

Titus Joins Ranks of Ex-Members Seeking Comebacks

Roll Call
By: Kyle Trygstad

Former Rep. Dina Titus made it official Tuesday night that she is running again for Congress, joining a handful of her former colleagues ousted in the 2010 Republican wave.

“I’m Dina Titus, and I’m running for Congress,” the Democrat said on Jon Ralston’s “Face to Face” Nevada TV show.

Asked whether she would run against Rep. Joe Heck (R-Nev.), who unseated her last year in the 3rd district after one term in Congress, Titus noted that it’s still unclear what district she will end up running in. The Nevada redistricting process, which is now in the courts, was complicated by a fourth district added through reapportionment and a split Legislature and Republican governor unable to compromise on a new map.

“We have to wait and see where the lines are drawn,” Titus said. “I probably won’t be in the same district as [Heck].” Read the full article here.
