They want to tell women if they can use birth control pills or not. That's outrageous. That's part of personhood out there. And, you know, in so many other ways. Equal pay for women. No, they didn't want to do that in the state. So I think that's an important subject that certainly we should stand up for. I want to close by saying no one, no politician in Kenosha in the last 20 years has walked the neighborhoods as much as I have. (32:40–32:45)
