We have the Michigan Senate, where we have a one seat majority for Democrats. We have the US Senate, where we have a one seat majority for Democrats. And the differences between these two senates are stark. The Michigan Senate, we are spending that majority. We are legislating at a serious clip, right. Everything from codifying roe protections, gun violence or gun safety legislation, protecting LGBTQ folks, reversing right to work so that our unions are more competitive in Michigan. I mean, we did a blitz in the first 100 days, whereas the US Senate, frankly, mostly because of the filibuster, really isn't legislating very often. (37:43–38:06)
