And I think you may be underselling yourself. When I was first elected back in 2020, I won by 48 votes. And when I became, along with Rhett Madison, We restarted the socialist caucus at the state for the first time in 86 years. He also ran a really contested primary. So no support and donations, frankly, have been really critical to that. And you're right, AIPAC's not gonna drop, you know, 20 million in this race, but they don't need to. (06:00–06:06)
