Nevada senator Catherine ___ Masto (6)
I believe the answer is:
cortez
(Other definitions for cortez that I've seen before include "Spaniard who defeated the Aztecs and conquered Mexico" , "Spanish conquistador Keats had 'Silent, upon a peak in Darien'" , "Spanish conquistador (Z, not S)" .)
I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
