Now more than ever, we need to elect leaders who know first-hand the real-life impact of the policies they’re backing, and who know from experience what it takes to get things done — to benefit our communities and economy — in our nation’s capital.

That’s why I’m urging people to support Rep. Dina Titus, D-Nev., a fighter for families and a former professor at UNLV, in her congressional bid.

Titus is a committed public service pro — and proven fighter for Southern Nevada — with a clear record of results.

Conversely, her opponent, Mark Robertson, is an anti-abortion extremist. He supports the overturning of Roe v. Wade and applauded Texas’ drastic six-week abortion ban. He also opposes infrastructure investments that will create good-paying jobs in Nevada.
