I'm encouraged by the tone of bipartisanship right now, and I think that's an important tone to strike. Look, ultimately, these are nonpartisan seats. We're one community, and it's important that the mayor represent everyone in the community. Right. He received a large mandate in the previous election. He got 61% of the vote across Anchorage. And, you know, I think that he recognizes he received that vote because people expect him to be an even handed, nonpartisan leader. (18:04–18:11)
