Thank you for that question. So I'm a fighter for our shared values, and if there's a chance to find common ground on an issue, I'll work across the aisle. An example, I wrote a bill that would have closed the campaign finance loophole. As the Democratic author of a bill in our polarized legislature, that usually means that a bill is not going to get heard. (12:14–12:20)
