When they see that, they know that you're someone they can trust and someone that actually gives a damn about them. And I've said this since my first race when I was a 35 year old. I said I just want people to have their confidence in government restored again. And especially when I came in as governor very unexpectedly, I did have the experience. I knew the state better than anybody and, you know, cherished the role. But I also said I have to restore people's faith in government again. And I believe we've done that. We've come a long way in letting them know that this is not about egos. (04:27–04:41)
