From the transcript
I've also chose to be on the Environment and Public Works Committee, but let me talk, and that's also dealing with fisheries. So I made those promises, I kept those promises. My opponent would empower a Seattle, Washington-based senator to be the next chairman of the Commerce Committee. Any opportunity to get bycatch bills passed, including mine, would be automatically undermined if you had the chairman of the Commerce Committee being from Washington State. That's who my opponent is looking to empower.
