We're the first body in state history that has half women and half men in our caucus first time. And we beat two incumbent members again, best night since the 1970s. But Because of gerrymandering, which is now going to end thanks to the people, we still only have 16 of the seats. There's only three more seats to majority. And I feel with a fair draw and great candidates and the hard work and then not having a policy agenda at all. (10:27–10:33)
