"I support the efforts to enhance the woman-owned small business program by putting it on par with other contracting programs including Senator Shaheen's Women Small Business Contracting Parity Act."

"Did someone follow-up on this issue that you so eloquently pointed out that the men do not relate to products that women pitch?"

"Senator Risch, thank you for being such a wonderful and gracious host."
