Two years ago, I had the opportunity to run for the state assembly in District 84, where I spent months talking directly with voters, listening to concerns. Unfortunately, I did lose that race, but it was great starting ground. I was able to get 4,000 votes away from my Republican opponent, Chuck Wickers. if any of you know who I am. But that experience showed me something very, very important, and that was people want leadership that listens, that shows up and actually follows through on their promises. (06:54–06:59)
