Former Nevada Rep. Dina Titus ‘seriously considering’ another run

Former Nevada Democratic Rep. Dina Titus is “seriously considering” another run for Congress in 2012. Titus was elected to represent the state’s 3rd Congressional District in 2008, but lost re-election to Republican Rep. Joe Heck in 2010.

Titus told The Daily Caller that she is waiting for the results of the state’s redistricting before officially jumping into the race.

Nevada will gain one seat in the next congressional session. Preliminary redistricting maps place three of the four seats largely in the southern part of the state, the region that Titus formerly represented.

“While I will not be formally declaring until the new district lines are drawn, which hopefully will be by June 6 when the Legislature is set to adjourn, I am seriously considering running again in the district that includes the largest number of people I have represented and fought for over the years in the state Senate and in Congress,” Titus said.

Titus also weighed in on the 2012 Senate campaign, which will pit Democratic Rep. Shelley Berkley of the 1st Congressional District against Republican Sen. Dean Heller, who represented northern Nevada’s vast 2nd Congressional District before being appointed this month as John Ensign’s replacement in the Senate.

“I believe Shelley Berkley can win the Senate race in Nevada,” Titus told TheDC. “She is very popular in the South where most of the votes are; she has the Harry Reid Democratic machine in place which can do amazing grassroots work; she is a monster at fund raising; she is known as a hard worker and fighter for Nevada.”

Titus said that she believes that “Heller’s voting record has become more extreme over the years and narrowly focused to appeal to the rural north; he is not known in the south.”

Aside from the regional divide that defines Nevada politics, Titus also cited two other examples of what she feels will be weaknesses for Heller. “His party in Nevada has been plagued by two major scandals recently,” Titus noted, adding that “he has voted for the Ryan budget which the large senior population in Nevada dislikes.”

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.
