Can I get a commitment from you that during your term on the Board, you will be transparent, consider these safety concerns, and work to include me and my office on any matters related to this flawed concept of siting any new rail lines in…

One concern is the safety of transporting nuclear waste long distances by truck and rail through metropolitan areas and towns across the country.

So can I get a commitment at least that you're committed to protecting Amtrak's long distance service, including working with the Senators on the California Zephyr line?

I want to stress the importance and get a commitment from you about the importance, not only the Zephyr line.

Rural Nevada needs your help. The Amtrak service, train service, is an important part of the economic vitality and social fabric of my community.

I think that it's not a failing, necessarily, even of the organization. I think it's a failing of the entire system the way it's set up.

So are you currently taking any actions to identify and remove current employees who knew about the sexual abuse and didn't do anything to report it but stay silent?

As elected leaders, we must remain committed to our obligation to demand reforms and provide for real thoughtful solutions that will make positive change.

What actions is USA Gymnastics taking to identify and remove coaches, athlete directors, employees, and officials who witnessed emotional and physical abuse of athletes and did not report child abuse to the authorities and did nothing to…

I want to personally thank those who have stood together to present an image for the world and are standing up and telling their story.

To lessen the geopolitical risk, is it fair to say that if we were to go down the path of electric vehicles more so than anything else, that would lessen our dependence and address some of the geopolitical risk we are seeing?

Thank you, thank you so much, Madam Chair and Ranking Member, for this incredible discussion.

You don't want to have across-the-board bans. Had we had anything like that, we not only would have not had the cavalry save us in 2011 but maybe double-dipped into a recession.

I have concerns about what I have heard from you today as being the right person with the right experience to lead.

A matter deeply important to me is that every American has the right to a day in court and that the justice system works for everyone, no matter their race, their class, their creed, where you come from, or who you know.

The CFPB has been vital in uncovering widespread and massive fraud and holding those companies accountable

Wells Fargo paid a $500 million penalty.

Why do you believe it is essential?

In the State of Nevada, the regulators were not there when the crisis occurred.

Thank you. Welcome. Congratulations on both your nominations.

I support the ABLE adjustment account. I think we need to be doing more.

I think people need to understand the additional costs that come and the burden on persons with disabilities.

As an economist, you can work with us and tell us the tools or the things that can be done, like increasing the minimum wage, that might improve livable wages for individuals, correct?

What would you say to those individuals that you are doing to ensure, one, it does not happen again and, two, improve the wage growth for them?

If you are in your community--and I am hoping you are--and you are talking to people across America, you know that wages have been flat since 1973.
