Lewis Voting Rights act of New York. In the absence of federal action on this, we said we have to step up right here in New York. And I'm proud to say that We not only got [the John R. Lewis Voting Rights act of New York] signed into law, but we've seen other states now adopt similar voting rights legislation. And that to me is what leadership is about. It's about responding to the community and it's why we're considering taking another step in our leadership. (05:45–08:42)
