I work with Maha advocates because a lot of them really don't believe that their fight is partisan.

And it's not in many ways.

We do have extraordinary corruption in our agricultural system, in our big corporate system as well.

You know, and

This is an area where both parties in our entire political system has been compromised.

Like one of the first things I did was be part when I first got to the House was be part of these congressional investigations on PFAS dumping.

Right.

And you have companies like 3M and others that, you know, and this goes back.

decades where you have a big company that is doing manufacturing of some kind and they just dump whatever cancerous byproduct that they have and poison communities around them.

And then they just pay off our political class to ignore it and to let it continue to happen or to shield them legally, like with glyphosate from everyday people trying to get that back.

And you're right.

Also, it's because there's a ton of anxiety around our health care system.

And I don't know, I grew up in a household that was very much shaped by these dynamics.

So my dad's side of the family is Catholic, and I was raised Catholic, but my mom's side of the family is evangelical.

And I see how all of these issues that have been at their surface level expressed as right-wing are actually very much just...

the anxieties that we have as working people not being able to afford healthcare.

And so it's also like, how do I stop being sick?

How do I prevent being sick by limiting my exposure to things that I think are toxic?

And then which there are things that are actually toxic and things that aren't actually toxic that get taken advantage of.

And then also when I do get sick and I can't afford medicine, what are the holistic and low cost alternatives that I can turn to because I know that I can't afford to see a doctor?
