Catherine Cortez Masto

Yes, I could not agree more. And I thank you for that.

Are you looking to address and work with the Tribes specifically, and if you are, how are you doing so?

In certain areas of Nevada, such as Washoe County, which has experienced heavy flooding in previous years, some community maps are seriously out of data.

The other thing I come across is a 2012 study by the GAO that noted that FEMA has not placed a high priority on mapping rural areas, including many Tribal areas, for flood risk, and most Tribal lands remain unmapped.

What are the consequences to taxpayers and to policyholders when we have outdated maps?

Of all of the states, Nevada has an important working relationship with the Federal Government.

It is essential that we address this issue. So please, for purposes of us at the federal level, let us know what you need.

It is imperative that the Department of the Interior be actively engaged in discussions with the military to find reasonable, workable, and collaborative solutions to these land management conflicts.

We need to develop additional programs that can utilize the same type of creative, innovative programs.

Well, at the end of the day, here`s what is important, and this is why we need to talk about this and let the general public understand truly what`s at stake here. I mean, look what`s going on in Georgia. They pass voter suppression laws…

You know, I think in general, Chris, people are really tired of all the dark money, right? They want transparency, they want accountability. They want to be able to go in and vote at the end of the day, in a safe and secure manner. And…

We thank Chairman Wyden and Senator Cortez Masto for the inclusion of Medicaid crisis care funding in the American Rescue Plan.

I am honored to introduce Dr. Stephanie Woodard, the Senior Advisor on Behavioral Health for Nevada's Department of Health and Human Services.

I have learned the benefits of peer support and peer counseling. It just really makes the difference that I have seen.

Oh, I could not agree more. And that is why I so appreciate Chairwoman Stabenow for having this hearing today, and all the good work that she has done on this issue in addressing mental health in our communities--and Senator Blunt as well.

Can you discuss the importance of prioritizing womens' interests in national trade policies?

I support the President's effort to bolster the domestic clean energy manufacturing, but we do not have the domestic solar panel production capacity to meet current demand.

Are you going to make it clear that tourism marketing is an eligible and worthwhile investment?

The impact that COVID-19 has had on tourism is one of the most important issues facing my State of Nevada.

I want to thank our witnesses for being here today and for their important work in our communities.

The work that I have done and will continue to do is, how do we ensure that our tribal communities have the support they need at the Federal level to incentivize their economic development

I really fought for in the ARP, because our tourism and travel industry had been so hard hit.

The Advance Child Tax Credit portal should provide access for taxpayers who find themselves in unique situations, such as domestic violence survivors.

Thank you, and I look forward to that partnership as well.

I hope you consider them in a favorable way. That benefits continued improvements in northern Nevada.
