And this actually happened in the toughest part of my district just recently. But the point is that I spend very little time giving my preamble at a town hall or my closing remarks and leave as much open time as possible for their questions. And then I try to expound on those as much as possible. And I found that that is probably one of the more effective things that. We do that is really excellent. (14:27–18:40)
