Political Quotes

On the recordSeptember 26, 2017
let me thank my colleague Senator Heitkamp for her great advocacy today for Native Americans. I have known her for a long time. In every public service job she has had--whether it was the State tax commissioner of North Dakota or the attorney general and now U.S. Senator--she has always been a great advocate for the Tribes. We so much appreciate that. I can tell you, she is one of the hardest working members of the Senate in the Indian Affairs Committee. She really brings what you talked about--a great bipartisan approach to this. We look forward to doing more of that in the future. I also wish to say to the Presiding Officer that he has shown bipartisanship on opioids, and we have an epidemic. So we can show that there is bipartisanship. With that, Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent for myself and Senator Cortez Masto to engage in a colloquy and then yield to her. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
