Las Vegas, NV – Today Representative Dina Titus of Nevada’s First Congressional District released the following statement in regard to the Clark County Commission proposal to rename McCarran International Airport:

“Las Vegas is a diverse community and our visitors should not be welcomed by someone with a legacy of racism, xenophobia, and anti-Semitism,” said Congresswoman Titus (NV-1). “I support the Clark County Commission’s proposal to rename McCarran International Airport in honor of former Senator Harry Reid. From blocking Yucca Mountain to protecting public lands, Senator Reid helped make Nevadans' voices heard loudly in Washington. Now let’s take McCarran’s statue out of the U.S. Capitol.”
