"Now, rates of domestic violence against Native women in Indian Country are among the highest in the United States."

"I think this budget actually--proposal--and I realize we are cutting all over the place, but this fails in all these areas. I think it is going to endanger our Nation's natural and cultural resources."

"We added the LGBTQ community, we added Native Americans, and we added the sexual trafficking of children."

"I think you know that on this subcommittee there is a lot of bipartisanship and a commitment to protecting our Federal lands and sometimes increasingly fragile natural resources."
