Well, the reason this race is competitive is because the Washington Republican agenda of delivering an economy that works for everyone has not delivered.
And I think it's hilarious that Republicans and their billionaire friends are trying to spend millions to save a seat that they should win without thinking.
But if we flip the seat, it will send a national message that the Republican Party needs to get serious about lowering health care costs.
Like I said, I think that there is a strain of the Democratic Party that cares about holding corporations accountable and lowering costs for working families.
And my politics are one in alignment of that.
I've been, as a state legislator, I've worked to eliminate Tennessee's regressive grocery tax.
As an organizer, I work to make healthcare more affordable in the state of Tennessee.
And so I think those are the Democratic leaders and candidates that I really resonate with are those that are trying to lower costs for working families.
Like I said, we're really grateful for the support across the political spectrum.
And if you and for your listeners, the Teleton Hall also features former Vice President Al Gore, who is a Tennessee legend.
So I look at it as iconic that you have, you know, Democrats from all political stripes joining in on this moment and saying, you know, we are standing up to what is happening in Washington and we want to be part of the solution rather than the problem.

And I've got the election excitement wiggles, as I do.
So I decided to jump out of bed, go out and canvass.
