                   Welcoming Senator Rosen of Nevada

  Ms. CORTEZ MASTO. Thank you, Madam President. I come to the floor 
today to honor my colleague and dear friend, Senator Jacky Rosen, as 
she prepares to deliver her maiden speech in this Chamber.
  Senator Rosen has spent her career pushing boundaries and advocating 
for innovation and inclusivity. She is bringing that vision to the U.S. 
Senate, where she has already proved herself to be a strong advocate 
for Nevadans by fighting to bolster our State's tech industries, 
supporting our veterans, and protecting Nevadans' healthcare.
  When Jacky was elected to the Senate, we sat down and talked about 
how we could best serve Nevada together. We requested different 
committee assignments so we could be sure we were covering all the 
issue areas that are important to Nevadans. We made sure our staffs 
were connected and working together on projects, not only in DC but in 
the great Silver State of Nevada.
  We committed to coming together every Wednesday morning in DC to 
welcome Nevadans to the Capitol and hear their stories. Those Wednesday 
morning constituent coffees are one of the highlights, I think, of both 
of our weeks. Anyone lucky enough to work with Jacky knows that she 
works tirelessly to build consensus and find solutions that help better 
the lives of Nevada families. I am honored to work beside her every day 
to serve the people of Nevada. I am proud to call her my friend, and I 
want to congratulate her on making her maiden speech this morning. I 
look forward to this and to many more as we continue to fight together 
for the Silver State.
  I yield the floor.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from Nevada.
