I I I'm and I think it's so important. one thing as a as a citizen I'm concerned with, especially with what happened last year with Charlie Kirk, this this horrible, hateful rhetoric, you know, you know, battle lines seem to be drawn. And we are in an open carry state. And, you know, I I think about what happened to Gabby Gifford in Arizona. I I just really I for you and the other elected officials here, you don't have large security detentions. And I worry about you and your family. I mean, are there steps being made to better protect our elected officials? speaker-1: You know, I think what I'm trying to do is try to sort of bring down the discourse and make people realize if you're a rabid Democrat who thinks every Republican is a terrible person, I'm I'm just a guy with a background that's a good fit to make your life easier through the treasurer's office. And so, you know, the treasurer's office, you're not talking about abortion, you're not talking about some of these extreme issues that get people so fired up. And I do appreciate that about the treasurer's office because As I mentioned to you earlier, if you're doing the job well, people should forget which party you're a member And and that's sort of how I'm, you know, addressing it is trying to just bring down the rhetoric a little bit, bring down the temperature, listen respectfully, take other ideas into into into mind.
