I think I speak for both of us when I say how important it is to keep this issue in the spotlight.

What steps has your office taken to improve prosecution of these crimes and reduce barriers to enforcement in Indian Country?

I want to remind everyone why we are here.

I expect to hear about the tangible solutions this Administration is pursuing to end the cycle of violence for Indigenous women in this country.

These high rates of violence are not just a crisis affecting Indian Country. It is a national disgrace that demands national action.

One study found that 1.5 million American Indian and Alaska Native women experience violence in their lifetime.

They are Native women and girls who went missing or were killed and whose cases received shamefully negligent responses from Federal and state agencies.

I want to thank the Ranking Member for agreeing to look further into this issue in a bipartisan manner.

How will the long-term plan of U.S. Attorneys presenting at conferences address the on-the-ground efforts of the Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women (MMIW) movement?

What initiatives has your agency undertaken to alleviate the gaps in MMIW data?

We cannot allow women, thousands of women, to be disappearing a year.

I know I speak for my colleagues when I say that we all loved Jerry. How could you not love Jerry? Her spirit and unwavering optimism and her love for our State and our party made her the quintessential Arizonan. She lived to 104 years…

We have a limited amount of time and I actually hold myself to the standards.

What are the substantial and subsequent steps that your Department is going to take to fix this situation?

I believe the best work we can do in DC for our students is to empower our teachers and administrators to address student needs as quickly as possible.

I want to express a special thank you to my colleagues, Representatives Schrader and Bonamici, who helped bring this issue to my attention.

It is important that you, your Department, make sure that there is no retaliation for these families that are testifying.

Why would I trust anything that you are saying from now on? Why would Representative Schrader trust you or Representative Bonamici trust you?

I do take it as an insult you came here and you lied to my face.
