Now, what brings me back is a bit of a heartbreak, but there's a big silver lining here. My mom got sick last fall and she'd been taking care of my dad. And Thanks to my union having my back and thanks to Medicare, I was able to come home and my husband was able to join me to move back home to Highlands Ranch and to provide end of life care for my parents. And this happened last fall. And then fellow millennial Lauren Boebert ditched her district to run in my backyard. And I decided to step up with my dad's blessing. (17:56–18:08)
