I mean, we don't have. I mean, there's never been a female mayor of Burlington. I find that really out. I mean, outrageous. Let's look at the stats. We've never sent a woman to Congress. We've only had one woman serve as governor in our entire history. Out of our six statewide office holders, we only have one woman, which is Beth Pierce. We've never had a woman serve as attorney general. And you're right. In Burlington, we've never had a woman serve as mayor. And I think supporting women, it's really about building the bench. Right. So I have women who are interested in running for city council, and I know that once they get in there and start. (20:18–20:40)
