Outgoing State Senate Minority Leader Dina TitusOutgoing State Senate Minority Leader Dina TitusLAS VEGAS-State Senate Democrats will meet Friday in Las Vegas to discuss selecting a new caucus leader to replace outgoing Nevada Senate Minority Leader Dina Titus. Titus, who last week announced her candidacy for the 3rd Congressional District, has led the Democratic Caucus since 1993.

In the days leading up to the meeting, possible candidates are already working the phones, calling fellow members of the caucus and trying to whip up the needed votes.
