Dina Titus elected as a regional whip

From Dina Titus, my new Congresswoman:

Dear Michael,

A short note to share with you some important news. Yesterday evening, my colleagues elected me as one of two Democratic Whips from Region 5. As Regional Whip for the 111th Congress, I'll be working closely with Majority Whip James Clyburn of South Carolina to build consensus for the Democratic agenda and pass legislation in the House of Representatives. The Democratic Caucus is divided into 12 regions. Region 5 is comprised of members from Washington, Oregon, Colorado, Nevada, Utah, Idaho, Montana, and Wyoming.

This is good news for Nevada and a testament to the hard work and strength of our campaign together. As a Regional Whip, I'll have the opportunity to work directly with Members of Congress across the Western US - making sure that the unique needs of our communities are addressed.

I've hit the ground running, and I know with your continued help we will strengthen Nevada's voice in Washington, in order to aid our economic recovery and help restore our leadership in the world.

The work ahead is enormous, but together with all of our friends and supporters I know we are ready to meet the challenge.

As always, THANK YOU for all you have done.
