Heidi Heitkamp actually said...

"I have worked to try to improve conditions for Native children pretty much my entire public life."

"We cannot normalize this behavior. If we are going to prevent this behavior, we have to look at the conditions beginning with childhood trauma."

"Senator Heitkamp also graciously asked me to participate in an anti-trafficking roundtable in Bismarck, North Dakota."

"I will start out with a story and it goes to what Ms. Matthews was talking about."
