Should a congressional seat open up. I'd have a long discussion with my wife, with my kids, probably a little bit and think over the possibilities. But right now, I'm laser focused on just winning reelection so I can continue to do what I think is good work on behalf of the Orange county residents I represent. Well, that's all the questions that I have for you today. Thank you once again, senator, for sitting down here and taking time out of your busy day to do this. (18:37–18:46)
