Representative Dina Titus has dedicated her entire professional life to education and public service. Prior to her time in Congress, she taught government classes at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, and served in the Nevada legislature for two decades. In this capacity, she helped shape her state’s policy agenda as the Democratic minority leader from 1993 to 2008. 

Currently in her sixth term in the US House, Representative Titus is the dean of Nevada’s congressional delegation. She has made public safety a top priority and has supported many commonsense gun safety measures during her tenure. After the worst mass shooting in modern American history occurred at the 2017 Route 91 Harvest Festival in Las Vegas, Representative Titus emerged as one of the leading voices in the House calling for substantive action to reduce gun violence. She introduced the Closing the Bump Stock Loophole Act to ban semiautomatic assault weapons and large capacity ammunition feeding devices like the one used in the shooting, and she has consistently supported measures to keep guns out of the hands of dangerous people. As a proud member of the Gun Violence Prevention Task Force in the House, Representative Titus supports the implementation of more stringent background checks on gun sales and transfers, as well as the passage of stronger extreme risk protection laws. 

Elections in Nevada are always close, and Representative Titus is facing her hardest reelection campaign yet this fall. With our gun safety House majority on the line in November, voters across the 1st District must come together to send her back to Washington DC for another term. We know real progress is possible with Representative Dina Titus in office, and that commonsense policies like universal background checks will finally become the law of the land.

We are proud to endorse Dina Titus for the US House of Representatives.
