Zoran, before we get going, what exactly is an assemblyman? That's the question everybody asked me when I was elected. So in New York State, we have the State Senate, we have the State Assembly. The State assembly is basically like a state version of Congress. So we have 150 members, each of whom represent about 130,000 people. I represent 130,000 people or so in Astoria and Long Island City in Queens. So Zoran, you are from Queens also. So I grew up in Morningside Heights and now I represent Queens. (00:26–00:34)
