I want to be honest about that. Yeah. But some elections that are very consequential will be decided by a handful of votes. And by getting me elected to that position, I have fought for LGBTQ People in this state, I have fought for their dignity. I have fought for their equality, and I will always do so. And I may not always win every fight, but I am there as a voice because people believe their votes matter. (1:02:13–1:02:19)
