Well, in my first assembly race, actually, health care was a big issue. Right. That's when Obama got elected and rose working on the Affordable Care Act. So in that first session, I helped expand access to health insurance for 80,000 previously uninsured Wisconsinites. And that was a huge victory and obviously transformational for those people who went from not being insured to actually being able to get health care. Reproductive rights was certainly an issue.
