She has been an advocate for various policies, including healthcare access, immigration reform, and economic development in Nevada.
One of the things--there are a number of topics. I'm going to try to get through them very quickly with your help.
I have to say in the President's budget, and this is not for the hearing today, but the President completely zeros out the Great Lakes restoration initiative.

And do you think there is a good working relationship between the two of you in respecting those boundaries and then working together when necessary for consumer protection?
So can you commit that there won't be a rollback of antitrust protections intended to protect consumers?
How would you rate that cooperation in the CFPB's ability to protect consumers?
It was so important to put resources into the staff, both the prosecutors and investigators, who can investigate and prosecute for that fraud.
I want to see the outdoor recreation industry expand and provide folks visiting my state an incredible experience in exploring the wonderful beauty of Nevada.
