| Description | Former U.S. House member Dina Titus confirmed Monday she has resigned from a federal appointment to the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights, another sign that she plans to run again for Congress.
"It's becoming more imminent that I'll become a candidate," Titus said. "So I thought that (resigning) would be the proper thing to do. You can't be a candidate and be on the commission because of the Hatch Act," she added, referring to a law that bars federal employees from political activity.
Titus said she couldn't say exactly when she would formally announce a U.S. House run but it would likely be soon and before a special panel draws Nevada's new lines for four congressional district.
Titus was a longtime Nevada state Senate leader and a one-term federal lawmaker representing suburban Las Vegas in the 3rd Congressional District who was defeated for re-election in the Republican wave of 2010. |
