Dina Titus Wins Democratic Primary in Nevada's 1st Congressional District

U.S. Representative Dina Titus won the Democratic primary in Nevada's 1st Congressional District on June 10, 2026, defeating challengers Gabriel Cornejo, Joy Hoover, and Luis Paniagua. Titus, who has represented the Las Vegas-area district since 2013, was considered the frontrunner, receiving support from labor unions and Democratic organizations, and having a significant fundraising advantage. Her opponents argued for a new generation of leadership, but Titus emphasized her experience and record on key issues for Southern Nevada voters, such as tourism, transportation, and veterans affairs. Titus was first elected to Congress in 2008 and has previously served in the Nevada Senate and as a political science professor. The general election will see Titus facing the Republican nominee in a district that has become more competitive due to redistricting, although it is currently rated as "Likely Democrat" by the Cook Political Report.
