Dina Titus, a U.S. Congress member representing Nevada's 1st district, shared several thoughts and updates on December 6, 2024, through her social media account. Titus has been serving in Congress since 2013 after replacing Shelley Berkley and has a long history of public service including time in the Nevada Senate.

On December 6, 2024, Dina Titus reflected on the anniversary of a tragic event that occurred at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV). She expressed her condolences to those affected by stating: "Today marks one year since the tragic shooting @unlv. My thoughts are with the victims’ families and the entire university community this anniversary. We are forever Las Vegas strong, UNLV strong."

Later that day, Titus commented on a historical milestone regarding the abolition of slavery in the United States. She noted: "The 13th Amendment was ratified 159 years ago today. It banned slavery and forced labor in the U.S. EXCEPT as a punishment for a crime. This year NV voted to remove this loophole. I’m cosponsoring the Abolition Amendment to do the same nationwide." Her statement highlights ongoing legislative efforts to address exceptions within existing laws.

In another post from December 6, she shared an encounter with students from Nevada who were visiting Washington D.C.: "Today I met with NV students visiting Washington, D.C., to advocate for education and workforce development programs. It’s great to see young people engaged in the political process and standing up for what they believe." This meeting underscores her commitment to supporting educational initiatives and encouraging youth participation in politics.
