A district trending blue

Dina Titus, accomplished legislator and 15-year minority leader of Nevada's Senate, toppled GOP Cong. Jon Porter in one of 2008’s toughest races – proving that this swing state is ready for change while becoming one of national Republicans’ top targets for defeat in 2010.

A principled legislator

Titus is working hard to strengthen schools, defend reproductive rights, and fight for Nevadans struggling with unemployment. Tapped by leadership to serve on the Task Force on Job Creation, Titus is at the center of the effort to put Americans back to work. She stood up to Sen. Jim Bunning when he recklessly and heartlessly blocked a bill to extend jobless benefits.

A distinctive voice for Nevadans

While Titus is an institution in Nevada politics -- she’s a political science professor who taught many of the state’s legislators – she’s never lost her native Georgia accent. But Republicans are set on replacing her distinctive voice in Congress with one of their own, placing state Sen. Joe Heck on their list of “Young Guns” top recruits. Titus needs immediate from EMILY’s List members to defend herself from attacks and keep this swing state blue.
