Assembly Republican Leader Dr. Robin Titus announces State Senate run; calls for GOP unity

Today, Dr. Robin Titus announced for State Senate, District 17. Dr. Titus is the Assembly Republican Leader and served the state of Nevada in the Assembly for four terms. She is known as an experienced, tough but thoughtful, pragmatic conservative policy setter who prioritizes individual liberty, constitutional rights, and personal choices.

With the term-limited departure of Dr. Joe Hardy, Dr. Titus would remain the only medical doctor in the upper chamber. Under Dr. Titus’ leadership, the caucus won back seats to get out of the super minority successfully stopping tax and fee increases on 21 bills. Dr. Titus served as a Nevada Campaign Co-Chair for President Trump.

“My entire career I have been a Nevada rural doctor and small business owner and I remain the Lyon County Health Officer but after leaving active practice, I felt compelled to continue to serve my community and state through thoughtful conservative policy setting in the state legislature,” said Dr. Robin Titus. “My goal is to make rural Nevada the best place in America to live, work, and raise a family.”

Meet Dr. Titus
Dr. Robin Titus serves as the Assembly Republican Leader. Her great-grandfather came to Nevada in 1866, to try his hand at mining. In the 1880s, her family settled in Smith Valley. Dr. Titus completed undergrad at UNR and her doctorate at the University of Nevada School of Medicine.

She returned to serve Lyon County as a family practice physician for 37 years including pre- and post-natal care delivering countless babies. In addition to serving her patients, she also served as Chief of Staff at the Lyon County Hospital and on the State Board of Medical Examiners. She is in her fourth term at the Legislature and is the Lyon County Health Officer.

Dr. Titus enjoys skiing, hunting, fishing, hiking, wine tasting, gardening, and spending time with her family and grandkids. She is a longtime proud NRA member and CCW holder, avid early morning runner including ten marathon completions, instrument- rated pilot, and has climbed to Mt. Everest base camp and summited Mt. Whitney and Mt. Kilimanjaro in Tanzania. Nevada has given her the opportunity to be a doctor, a conservative policy setter, and a small business owner. She has been ranked the most conservative member in the Legislature. Dr. Titus lives in Wellington with her husband, retired Lyon County Sheriff Allen Veil.

Dr. Titus is launching her first fundraiser for the State Senate on Friday, December 17th at Bistro 7 in Reno from 11:30am – 1:00pm. Email Danielle at dcherry@nvfundraiser.com for more information.

“Everyone knows the Red Wave is coming that will rival Republican gains made in 2014 and smash Democratic gains in 2018,” said Dr. Robin Titus. “But we must not fight amongst ourselves and allow the Democrats to snatch victory from the jaws of defeat. I commit to running a positive policy-centric primary campaign and call on all Nevada Republicans, activists and electeds, to remain united, strong, and victorious. There is too much at stake to fight amongst ourselves – we must take back our state and nation.”

Due to the pending redistricting lawsuit, lines may not be finalized for a while but as they are today District 17 includes all of Douglas, Lyon, Churchill, Esmeralda, and Mineral Counties. However, it divides Nye County and Tonopah as communities of interest that share a policy benefit by being grouped together.
