Well, it looks like Dina Titus may not have that easy waltz back into the House, in Nevada Congressiongal District 1.
From the Las Vegas Sun: Ruben Kihuen, the state senator hoping to become Nevada’s first Hispanic representative, had a tough race already, facing fellow Democrat and former Rep. Dina Titus.
Now, there’s another Hispanic in the race: a Republican who could split the support of the Hispanic community that Kihuen’s team hoped to rally.
Mike Rodrigues, an elementary school principal from Las Vegas, has an educational background that ranges from opera to business to Christian ministry, and a resume that includes service in the U.S. Air Force and teaching at the Las Vegas campus of the for-profit University of Phoenix. His platform is improving the economy and the educational system by keeping things local.
“My entire career has been focused on raising standards in the classroom and enhancing the quality of life for the citizens of Nevada,” he said in his campaign announcement. “It’s time to take that same fight to the United States Congress.”

Mike Rodrigues sounds like a quality candidate, certainly more ethical than Dina Titus. My guess is that if it is a Rodrigues-Kihuen race, I can see Kihuen winning but a race between Titus-Rodrigues and Rodrigues wins in a landslide. Titus is one of the most unethical politicians in Nevada history- behind Crybaby Reid and John Ensign, so it will be easy to campaign against her..
Thanks for entering the race, Mike.
