So that that's the only distinction to draw there. But what I'm really focused on is that we are losing representation, you know, in the House of Representatives for Democrats here in Texas. We're going to go from 13 out of 38, which already major, as you know, was a gerrymandered number, down to maybe eight or nine or maybe hopefully 10 folks representing on the Democratic side in Congress out of 38 person delegation. That means that the voices that are left have to be stronger and that means we have to have our best players on the field. And I believe that I'm one of those. (06:08–06:23)
