UPDATED WITH QUOTE FROM REID, DCCC AND TEAM TITUS BELOW.
Democratic National Committeewoman Erin Bilbray will meet next week with Rep. Steve Israel, who leads the party's House campaign committee, to discuss running against GOP Rep. Joe Heck in Nevada's swing district. (UPDATE: Bilbray now says meeting is first with staff a week from Friday and then following week with Israel.)
Bilbray, who will be in DC for the inauguration, confirmed the meeting with Israel.
