Mr. PADILLA. Mr. President, I am here to speak on a nomination, but before I do, a point of personal privilege.
It was 1 year ago today that I had the honor of being sworn in as a Member of this Senate. As I hope my wife is watching at home on C-SPAN 2, I just want to thank her for her love and support throughout this first year. I couldn't have done it without her.
And I thank, of course, the Presiding Officer and all of our colleagues for the tremendous support and experience that this last year has been.
