So I'll be running from the 18th congressional district. And the best evidence of this is I have filed to run from the 18th congressional district. I filed on day one.

I emphasize this to the extent that I do because there are people who are still indicating to the public by way of various news sources that I'm trying to make up my mind. (07:05–07:11)
