Dina Titus: “I totally got f***ed”

Dina Titus is NOT happy about how the Nevada Legislature drew her new district lines. 

Here are some choice quotes from Titus reported by the Nevada Current: 

• “I totally got fucked by the Legislature on my district,” she said. “I’m sorry to say it like that, but I don’t know any other way to say it.”

• Titus said that the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee “were stunned” by the decision.

• “They couldn’t believe a Democratic Legislature and governor would do this to themselves,” she said. “They could have created two safe seats for themselves and one swing. That would have been smart. (U.S. Rep.) Steven (Horsford) and mine and then a swing. No no, we have to have three that are very likely going down.”  

• She said redrawing her district “would have been worth it” if it created two other safe districts, but instead lawmakers created “three, competitive, risky districts.”

• “Plus it’s a bad year,” Titus said.

• “Republicans are going to turn out, and they are excited,” she said. “Democrats are kind of ‘meh, I have to pay more gas prices.’ Hispanics aren’t going to want to turn out if we don’t get something for immigration. I mean, why would they?”

NRCC COMMENT: “Dina Titus thought the Nevada Legislature was going to save her in 2022, but now she’s freaking out because she knows she’s going to lose.” – NRCC Spokeswoman Torunn Sinclair
