The first session, I would have to say the issues I worked the hardest on were human trafficking. Milwaukee has a human trafficking problem here and basically throughout the state, but we're seeing it grow. And One of the reasons that we're seeing human trafficking grow in the state of Wisconsin is because not enough resources have been dedicated to making sure that the young children and women who are being trafficked actually receive help. It's one of the, I would say the second, third largest crimes that we're seeing in, in the United States. (01:07–01:23)
