Dina Titus, a U.S. Congress member representing Nevada's 1st district, has shared her perspectives on various pressing issues through recent tweets. Titus has been serving in this role since 2013 and has a background in the Nevada Senate from 1988 to 2008. Born in Thomasville, Georgia, she resides in Las Vegas.

On December 2, 2024, Titus expressed concern over the Georgian government's decision to stop the EU accession process. She stated that this action "goes against their constitution and the will of the Georgian people." She commended the U.S. State Department for its decision to suspend strategic partnerships until Georgian officials demonstrate respect for democracy and human rights. "The Georgian government's decision to halt the EU accession process goes against their constitution and the will of the Georgian people."

Later that day, Titus addressed climate change impacts by citing an analysis estimating millions of deaths due to extreme weather events exacerbated by climate change. She mentioned her legislative proposal aimed at providing communities with resources to better prepare for such disasters. "A new analysis estimates millions of people have died in extreme weather events that were caused or worsened by climate change."

In another tweet on December 2, Titus highlighted efforts alongside her colleagues urging the Biden-Harris Administration to mitigate harms from marijuana criminalization before their term ends. "My colleagues and I urged the Biden-Harris Administration to take additional steps to reduce the harms caused by marijuana criminalization before the end of their term."
