Middle mile is absolutely critical to rural America.

I mean, I know that people in Nevada need broadband now.

I stepped away from my career as a computer programmer to take care of my aging parents and my in-laws.

I cannot tell you, consistent with my obligations today about private conversations with the president, one way or the other.

I recently introduced bipartisan legislation establishing a Civilian Cybersecurity Reserve Corps.

Last year I introduced a bill with Senator Cassidy, the PROTECT Act, that is going to make permanent the Cybersecurity Education and Training Assistance Program (CETAP).

Policymakers at all levels in all branches of government must recruit and retain qualified IT workers and cybersecurity experts.

Unfortunately, there are no SBA-licensed small business investment companies located in Nevada.

I would love to see it expand in Nevada, because we also need to invest in our minority-owned businesses.

We need to be careful about being overly paternalistic in treating players like second-class citizens

Thank you, Chair Cantwell, and I want to thank you and Ranking Member Wicker for holding this really important hearing today, and to all the witnesses for being here.

A prohibition on legal industry partners would limit the scope of NIL endorsement and contract opportunities for Nevada student-athletes.

I am so appreciative of all the nominees for your time today, for your work, and for your willingness to serve not just our Nation, but our country's workers.

I think rebounding means you are bouncing back. Recovery is you are going back to where you were.

I think the best way to get people back, at every level, is for the companies to do the kind of stuff on health and safety.

I appreciate the question, Senator Scott.

We should all push all of our chips to the middle of the table on the American Jobs Plan to rebuild our infrastructure and create necessary job opportunities for individuals and contracts for small businesses.

U.S. hotel and hospitality industry continues to experience severe pandemic-related impacts and, consequently, so do the workers in that industry.

For Nevada, this is almost 25 percent of our work force.

I implore this committee to double down on the recent successful American Rescue Plan, by investing in America's Tourism and Hospitality Workforce and Small Businesses, to rebuild our economy.

Good afternoon and welcome to today's hearing, Investing in America's Tourism and Hospitality Workforce and Small Businesses.

Thank you, Senator Scott. I have a couple more questions I would like to ask.

I cannot think of anything more impactful that came under the American Rescue Plan, than the 100 percent COBRA subsidy.

Senator Cortez Masto and I worked diligently to be sure that 100 percent of COBRA insurance was covered during the pandemic.

Do not forget small businesses. The small businesses are the backbone of this country.
