Catherine Cortez Masto

I hope to see it move quickly through the Senate.

In the Senate, my colleagues Senators Cornyn, Grassley, and Klobuchar have been working on legislation, including the Abolish Human Trafficking Act of 2017.

Thank you for the tremendous work you did as Attorney General in fighting to help families hurt by the financial crisis.

So you think there is a role now to address the compensation----

And you are willing to work with us to address that?

As we think about GSE reform, how do we ensure that all players serving the secondary mortgage market offer sustainable fair access to all creditworthy borrowers?

I commit to absolutely supporting the foreign direct investment in your state of Nevada.

Unfortunately, the President recently made the decision to pull the United States out of the Paris climate agreement.

As General Counsel of the Department, would you be supportive of NHTSA, should it be decided that such laws or regulations are indeed necessary, to prohibit the recycling of any defective products?

I am not for rolling back any of those regulations because that is going to continue to harm the homeowners that I fought for for 8 years in my State.

The CFPB has returned $12 billion to 29 million consumers. I really do not understand the motivation behind stripping the Bureau of its powers.

I want to focus on your recommendations related to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.

That is all that Nevada is asking for, is consent-based siting, which your predecessor, Secretary Moniz, and the Blue Ribbon Panel have agreed that is what should occur.

The Western Governors' Association...recently passed a policy resolution which states that a nuclear waste facility should not be located within the boundaries of any western state or U.S. flag island without the written consent of that…

I do not disagree we need a long-term plan, but the concern that I have, and many in our state have, is specifically when it comes to Yucca Mountain.

But since that trip you went from touting the importance of state sovereignty to a full-throated support for depositing the nation's waste in Nevada against the will of my state, undermining a state's right to defend its communities…

Since that time you visited the site, and thank you for the courtesy, you called me ahead of time to let me know you were going there.

We have a national interest in protecting the soft areas of our airports and their perimeters.

I will tell you, as a former Governor, if the local and state grants go away, you will see personnel reductions at our airports.

I would hope that you would be committed to adopting written policies and procedures and help guiding that discretion for those TSA officers.

I would hope that you would commit to being an advocate for your staff, for the resources that you need, against any ill-advised spending cuts, particularly those that are going to be unfortunately used to build potentially a border wall…

I will tell you I am concerned about the impact that those budget cuts are going to happen on the mission of the TSA if you are confirmed.

Like you, I was here during 9/11, I was actually working in the U.S. Attorney's Office, and that has shaped my interactions as a prosecutor.

There is no better security than these dogs, no better security that we can get.

Just a quick follow-up. I am curious, Mr. Moore and Mr. Thompson, as representing your states, what else can we be doing?
