So I guess your guess is as good as mine on that one. But, you know, I do have a background in getting legislation passed. I have been successful in passing seven bills in five years to fight human trafficking on a bipartisan basis. So I have the skills here, and I've used them in order to start working for the people of the 91st on day one. Thank you. Thank you. (17:49–17:56)
