So I'm from Nevada, and we have challenges like everyone else with respect to access to rural broadband.

I want to make sure that we, at the Federal level, are coordinating and listening with our local governments, our state governments, and the private sector in each community.

I think in Nevada our future is in technology and in promoting technology.

I think there is an opportunity at the Federal level to help incentivize local, state, private sector to come together down a path.

I recently joined Senator Manchin in introducing the 'Rural Wireless Access Act,' which has the support of several of my colleagues.

PILT reductions threaten to undermine plans to restore the Senior Nutrition program in Nye County.

I am the Senator from Nevada and, as many of my colleagues know and many of you know, Nevada has the largest amount of public lands of any state in the United States.

Our rural communities are challenged. They do not get the sales tax, property tax, that some of our urban areas get so they rely on PILT and SRS funding.

I do think FinCEN is a critical component of the task force.

I do not support any cuts to any funding for Meals on Wheels or any senior programs.

Thank you all for being here, and this is such an important topic. I am so happy we are having this conversation.

the program that I was able to ride along with started obtaining pet food to also give to the seniors
