as posted by the channelSen. Gary Peters, D-Mich., ranking member of the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs, made his opening statement Friday in the confirmation hearing for Gov. Kristi Noem, President-elect Donald Trump’s nominee for homeland security secretary.
Noem, a Republican from South Dakota, is a rancher and a former member of Congress.
