Catherine Cortez Masto

Thank you, everyone.

I think the area that Congress should reflect on and potentially take action on is to think about how that extends into the natural gas and fuel sectors.

I also agree with my good colleague, Senator King, on electric vehicles. There is potential there.

That is what I want to verify.

Is there a role for Congress to play here to ensure that we are addressing the needed winterization and weatherization across the country?

I am listening to all of the comparisons with the casinos particularly across this country, but knowing one thing, our casinos do not allow anybody that is under the age of 21 to gamble, and there is a reason. We want to protect our youth.

Particularly for young adults, do retail broker-dealers provide enough education and disclosure to individual consumers or should there be more?

Do you think that the payment for order flow models should be banned?

Do you think that anybody under the age of 21 should be allowed to engage in the stock market, particularly what we have seen with Robinhood, a young man who was only 20 years of age committing suicide because he felt he overextended…

If confirmed, will you commit to maintaining a strong line of communication with my office and Senator Rosen's office?

Thank you so much for taking the time to meet with me earlier this week, and congratulations, again, on your nomination.

The question is not a wholesale indictment of markets generally or of Wall Street generally.

Unemployment really has nothing to do with whether you have a livable wage or not and whether you are living at the poverty level or below that poverty level.

If you do not have a livable wage and you are at or below the poverty level, you really do not have the luxury of investing.

If we are not taking that productivity, which we are investing in, and turning it into livable wages for individuals, people are going to be struggling.

Let me just touch on one issue that was brought up, this idea that diversity and inclusion and equity in corporate America is somehow a quota. It is not a quota, and that is the problem we have here.

As more individuals begin to engage with the financial markets through no-fee, online trading platforms I am concerned that investors may get in over their heads with large and complicated trades on apps that gamify the stock market, and…

We have to make sure that the bedrock of our community of small business does not go away after this pandemic, and it is absolutely critical.

If there is no further business to come before the Senate, I ask unanimous consent that it stand adjourned under the previous order. There being no objection, the Senate, at 3:04 p.m., adjourned until Monday, March 1, 2021, at 3 p.m…

Senators should be prepared for two rollcall votes at 5:30 p.m. on Monday. Those votes will be on confirmation of Miguel Cardona to be Secretary of Education, followed by a cloture vote on Gina Raimondo to be Secretary of Commerce…

I signed on to a letter with several of my colleagues urging the Biden administration to repeal these tariffs.

Small business is the backbone of our economy, and we want to make sure not only are they driving, but for our workers that they are paid a livable wage.

What else can we be doing to support our workforce? Is there more that we should be doing for workforce training and development?

I would like to underscore the imperative that HHS focus on improvements to the Indian Health Service.

So, Attorney General Becerra, I know you understand how essential these benefits are to working families.
