Today Representative Dina Titus of Nevada’s First Congressional District submitting the following statement into the Congressional Record about her decision to vote to impeach President Donald Trump: 

“For 35 years I taught American government to university students,” said Congresswoman Titus (NV-1). “When we discussed impeachment, I never thought I’d actually be participating in the process, but this president has left us no choice. 

“He tried to rig the 2020 elections by soliciting foreign interference, and then engaged in an unprecedented cover-up once he got caught. No president can be permitted to abuse the power of the office for personal, political gain, nor try to hide his misdeeds by demanding that his subordinates withhold key documents and refuse to testify before Congress. 

“President Trump’s allies have offered lots of crazy excuses for why he shouldn’t be impeached, but even they will not deny that he wouldn’t have asked Ukraine to investigate Biden if the former Vice President weren’t a leading candidate for president. 

“I have analyzed the evidence thoroughly. It is consistent and convincing. That is why I am casting my vote to impeach President Trump.”
