Titus Claims She’s The Congressional Gold Standard

Today, Heck for Congress issued the following statement after Congresswoman Dina Titus announced on KNPR’s “State of Nevada” that she was the “gold standard” nationally. During the interview today, Congresswoman Titus continued to brag about the stimulus bill that has failed to bring jobs to southern Nevada and included her new cheap shot blaming Nevada’s Department Of Energy for the stimulus’s failure. read more

Dina Titus Forgot Us ... But Impressed Party Leadership

Dr. Heck's Statement On Nevada's Unemployment Rate

Today, Dr. Joe Heck issued the following statement with the release of the sobering announcement that Las Vegas has hit 15 percent unemployment. This figure sends shockwaves throughout our community verifying that 145,400 of our friends, family members and neighbors are unemployed in southern Nevada. The statewide figure remained a stubborn 14.4 percent with cities across the state showing an increase in numbers.

“This figure is an emotional and frustrating reminder that Dina Titus forgot us. When Congresswoman Titus went to Washington in January of 2009, statewide unemployment was 9.6 percent. Throughout her tenure, she has maintained that it is her job to create jobs but, by her own standards, Congresswoman Titus is a failure. These numbers serve as verification of this unfortunate fact,” said Dr. Joe Heck. “Congresswoman Titus placed Pelosi’s priorities of Obamacare and the job-killing Cap and Trade bill over the need for private sector job creation in southern Nevada. Unemployment at 15 percent has long been the anticipated bottom as Washington has failed to pass any real pro-small business legislation. When Congresswoman Titus and Nancy Pelosi left Washington without extending the tax cuts, they left uncertainty and anxiety in small businesses, the real job creators in our country. Until we are able to send representatives to Washington with job creation as their top priority, Las Vegas will remain mired in unemployment and our struggling families will continue to suffer," concluded Heck. read more

Fact Check: Dina Titus Lies Again

Dina Titus Continues Her Sloppy Campaign With New Campaign Ad read more

Titus's Friends Resort To Lies - Again

"This misleading ad is touting Congresswoman's Titus's vote for Cap and Trade which is a light switch tax on every home in southern Nevada. This is a prime example of Dina Titus's say and do anything strategy to get re-elected.  Congresswoman Titus and her pals have lied about Dr. Heck this entire election, and this ad continues their dishonest campaign strategy. When she was in the State Senate, Titus argued that Nevada was not ready for Cap and Trade, yet while serving in Congress she changed her tune in order to please Nancy Pelosi. On top of raising taxes on households and businesses across Nevada, Cap and Trade will literally kill thousands of jobs in southern Nevada as a result of its stringent regulations. As if to add insult to an already injured economy, Congresswoman Titus voted for this national energy tax shortly after she had supported billions of stimulus dollars being sent to China and Spain for their renewable energy development." – Mari Nakashima, spokeswoman for Dr. Joe Heck

LVRJ Endorses Dr. Joe Heck

“Joe Heck would bring to the office the kind of perspective the House badly needs. He's a doctor, not a liberal academic or trial lawyer. He's a colonel in the Army reserve with first-hand knowledge of our wars overseas. He'll oppose paycheck-shrinking cap-and-trade schemes and back the enforcement of our immigration laws. And he'll be part of a new class of conservative representatives who 'will not repeat the mistakes of Republicans who lost their way. We're not going to fail the American people again.'” read more
