Catherine Cortez Masto

Michael, I recognize the voice.

How are you?

Thank you for making time for us.

Well, thank you.

I appreciate the opportunity to talk with you.

And by the way, thank you for the great reporting you do.

Seriously, it's important.

Yeah.

I would agree that I'm a moderate.

To me, the moderates are people who are working to get things done, right?

Who work in a bipartisan way, who think that good government is important, that we still have to work together to do our jobs.

We still have to deliver for the American public, whether it's in our state where we live or across the country.

And I think...

Most people, at least when I'm in my state, they expect that.

They expect you to not only work on their behalf, but work in a bipartisan way.

But they also know that there are times, and I think it's okay to be out there and pick that fight and say, no, this is a battle I'm going to be very vocal about.

This is one I'm going to stand up and say, this can't occur.

And you see that, I've done that, and you will see that for many moderates across the country doing the same thing.

I see what you're saying.

Yeah.
