Nevada Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto took the stage on the third night of the Democratic National Convention to share her experience working with Vice President Kamala Harris when they were both attorneys general in Sun Belt states.

Cortez Masto told the crowd that she and Harris took on big banks and delivered for families during the foreclosure crisis; held criminals accountable by putting transnational criminals and drug smugglers behind bars; and met with survivors of human trafficking to better understand who they were fighting for, while standing up for justice.

"Working together, I quickly learned what kind of person she is: She is a strong leader," Cortez Masto said.
