Her communication reflects her involvement in these critical issues affecting her constituents.

On April 16, 2025, Dina Titus emphasized the importance of awareness regarding immigration policy, stating, "With changes to immigration policy, it’s important to know your rights if you encounter law enforcement or an immigration agent. My office is here to help everyone #OnlyinDistrictOne." This post highlights her commitment to providing support and information to her constituents during policy changes.

Later that day, Titus commented on the impact of the then-current global trade policies, particularly on Nevada’s tourism sector, by stating, "Trump’s global trade war is hurting Southern Nevada’s tourism industry." This comment draws attention to the local economic challenges posed by international trade disputes.

On April 17, 2025, Titus voiced concerns about educational policies, criticizing decisions made by the Department of Education. She asserted that the department had taken illegal actions by stating, "DOGE shuttered the Department of Education, illegally firing one-half of its staff. This means fewer teachers, fewer school lunches, and less help with Pell Grants and student loans." Her statement indicates concern over the potential consequences these changes could have on educational services and support for students.
