The bullheadedness of this legislature the past eight years? Well, I think that's a really key point of my experience, which is that I've worked with a very bipartisan board. We had a board that was eight Republicans and eight Democrats. And over the course of six years, we only had a couple votes that were not unanimous. Honestly, we worked really well together. I was unanimously confirmed by the state Senate, all Republicans, twice. (08:59–09:04)
