I am deeply concerned about the lack of adequate policing in Indian reservations in my State.

We all agree that the worst thing for these families is to migrate north. It is a dangerous journey.

I just want to see it. I want to see what that plan is.

I promised people in North Dakota that I wouldn't make a decision based on what team anyone is on.

I believed a yes vote would have compromised my true belief that this person did not have the temperament to be on the Supreme Court.

I think one of the most important things we can do now that that the nomination process is over is to sit back, reflect and to think about what we need to do in reaction to an outpouring of so many people who have been victims.

North Dakota Democratic Senator Heidi Heitkamp as you'll recall voted against Brett Kavanaugh's nomination to the Supreme Court. She seems to be in a difficult political race obviously and maybe political trouble because of that vote.

I fully expected her to vote yes.

Once the President sets a strategy -- a global strategy I think it's better if we go ahead behind him, unify and win a trade war fast rather than undermine the entire process.

It's been a tough week for me because, you know, the political rhetoric is you can't vote that way if you expect to come back. And I tell people, Ray and Doreen Heitkamp didn't raise me to vote a certain way so that I could win. They…

If someone like me can't get reelected, what does that speak to others who want to be moderate? I just encourage people to do to their base. I think that's a real concern.

I rise to discuss the bipartisan, bicameral 5-year reauthorization of the Federal Aviation Administration Act that we will be voting on, and I believe passing, in about one-half hour. This is the first 5-year reauthorization for the FAA…

my small businesses are coming and saying there is no certainty to this for us.

Chairman Hoeven, Ranking Member Udall and members of the Committee, thank you for this opportunity to testify today.

are you willing to come out and visit rural areas like areas in my State to get a firsthand knowledge of what the situation is there and listen to the people?

I think you want to take a broader look than just North Dakota.

I think it is important that we follow up.
