And I think that we've never had a woman governor. I am the fourth woman who has been lieutenant governor in the state since the state's inception. Another thing I want to mention is that Nationally we have never elected a nurse governor. which I think is fascinating because there are just so many nurses out there and they're so committed to their communities. And so I would be the first nurse elected governor nationally. (18:54–18:59)
