Serving the First Congressional District of Nevada, Congresswoman Dina Titus has built a strong record of achievement as both an educator and a public servant. As a professor, Dr. Titus taught American and Nevada government classes from 1979 through June 2011 at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas where she has professor emeritus status. A noted non-fiction writer, she is internationally known for her expertise in the history and policies related to nuclear power, weaponry, and waste as well as for her knowledge of the popular lore of "Atomic Culture."
In 1988, Dina was elected to represent the people of District Seven in the Nevada State Senate, serving as the Democratic Minority Leader from 1993 to 2008. During her service in the Legislature, Dina was a champion for quality education and renewable energy development, and a strong advocate on behalf of Nevada’s children, seniors, and persons with disabilities.
I strongly believe that the symbol of the United States must always remain the Statue of Liberty, not an ineffective border wall. The diversity of Las Vegas is part of what makes our community unique. I am committed to reforming our broken immigration system and I believe strongly that law-abiding immigrants should have a pathway to citizenship.
DREAMers and TPS holders are teachers, nurses, and entrepreneurs. More importantly, they are our neighbors, friends, and colleagues. They are asking for nothing more than a shot at the American Dream. I will continue to support legislation that would keep families together, allow undocumented immigrants to come out of the shadows, protect DREAMers, and preserve the temporary protected status of immigrants fleeing violence and persecution in their native countries.
