Dina Titus, U.S. Congresswoman representing Nevada’s 1st district since 2013, addressed several issues in a series of posts on January 8, 2026, ranging from national security concerns to local financial matters and reflections on congressional leadership.
In a post published at 02:22 UTC, Titus condemned an incident in Minneapolis, writing: “I strongly condemn the ICE shooting that took place earlier today in Minneapolis and am alarmed by the loss of life. It saddens me that @POTUS has allowed tensions to rise to this point.
We must investigate this tragedy and demand accountability from the Trump Administration.”
Later that day, at 14:48 UTC, she reported progress on a longstanding local issue: “A strong start to the year.
After months of delays, #TeamTitus assisted @RTCSNV in resolving an outstanding IRS tax rebate issue, resulting in the release of over $5 million in federal funds.
We’re glad to help ensure these funds were delivered as owed.”
Titus also reflected on her entry into Congress at 15:33 UTC with a tribute to Rep. Steny Hoyer: “.@RepStenyHoyer recruited me to run for Congress. I will always respect his leadership, honor his stewardship, and treasure his friendship.”
Titus has represented Nevada’s 1st District since succeeding Shelley Berkley in 2013 and previously served in the Nevada Senate from 1988 to 2008. She was born in Thomasville, Georgia in 1950 and currently resides in Las Vegas. Titus holds a BA from the College of William & Mary.
