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. So I'll be looking to do that. And then as I mentioned, I think the first big fight that Democrats should put up next year is to get the subsidies restored on the exchange and restore the Medicare and Medicaid subsidies.
