(Las Vegas) – The UNLV College Republicans are going after Assembly Speaker John Oceguera, former congresswoman Dina Titus, and county commissioner Chris Giunchigliani, for orchestrating an anti-Heck press conference at the site of Congressman Heck’s campaign kick-off fundraiser last night. They point to what they call lies, hyperbole, and fear tactics, as evidence that the Nevada Democratic Party can’t win on the issues. “John Oceguera has no choice but to attack Joe Heck, as he [...]
NN&V Exclusive (Ryan Hamilton) – How is it that a man who voted with one of Nevada’s most conservative politicians can begin his campaign by dispatching hired goons to lie about the record of one of Nevada’s most established progressives? During his two years as a state senator, Ruben Kihuen padded his embarrassingly light resume with a voting record that is, unfortunately for him, public record. It reveals something astonishing about the freshly anointed [...]
NN&V Exclusive (Lori Piotrowski) – Thousands of people lined Las Vegas Boulevard this morning to celebrate Veterans Day. The cool, cloudy weather couldn’t keep them from honoring those who have served our nation. More than an hour before the scheduled start of the parade, parents and children, some in strollers, began to stake out their favored viewing spot. The annual parade, second in size only to New York City, was hosted by KDWN talk show [...]
(Mark Ciavola) – Well, it has finally happened: Democrats in Southern Nevada have gone too far, and are now embarrassing themselves daily for the entire world to watch. It all began on November 2, 2010 when Dr. Joe Heck was elected to Congress over Dina Titus, the darling of the liberal activist community in Las Vegas. Democrats began attacking Heck across various media, for not creating the jobs he promised – a promise he never [...]
(UNLVCR) – Today, the UNLV College Republicans are drawing attention to what they call perennial candidate Dina Titus’ continued lack of integrity. According to the students, following an unsubstantiated accusation against the organization on Jon Ralston’s Face to Face, Titus has broken her word again, canceling a Nuclear Policy course just two weeks before the start of the semester, leaving students scrambling at the last minute to fill their fall schedules. Following her $162,000 buyout, [...]
(UNLV College Republicans) – Today [July 26], the UNLV College Republicans sent former congresswoman and 2012 congressional candidate Dina Titus a letter via certified mail (also attached) in response to accusations she made against the organization on Face to Face with Jon Ralston one week ago. The letter demands that Titus produce physical evidence for her claims, or provide the organization with a public apology. “It was unpleasant in the beginning. Every single day the [...]
(UNLV College Republicans) – Last night, on Jon Ralston’s “Face to Face,” former congresswoman Dina Titus declared her bid for Congress in 2012 in a district yet to be determined. Her announcement comes just weeks after she accepted a voluntary buyout at UNLV valued at over $160,000, and after her resignation from her appointed position on the U.S. Civil Rights Commission this week. “In what is surely a shock to no one, Dina Titus has [...]
Bracing for a tough election cycle in 2010, the White House sent Vice President Joe Biden to Las Vegas Sunday to boost the campaign coffers of Democratic Rep. Dina Titus. Biden’s visit is the largest indication yet that Nevada’s 3rd Congressional District is a top priority for the Obama administration and Democrats as they seek to maintain congressional majorities and stem losses in next year’s midterm elections. The vice president told more than 150 people [...]
