Well, first I'll say if you're a new member of Congress, you better stand up a really damn good local office that can provide constituent service for your constituents when they need help on bread and butter issues. You know, I served in the City Council. It's a diverse district. It's got Chinatown and Sunset Park and Red Hook working class neighborhoods in addition to Wall Street and Tribeca. So I really want to do that. I'd like to get seats on House Financial Services Committee to fight for affordable housing and on the House Foreign Affairs Committee to fight for a foreign policy that's grounded in human rights and international law.
