Then the next thing he said was, but I know you're doing what you think is right.

Yeah.

Yeah.

And when we talk about our why, we can give people some grace and some space to maybe think about things a little bit differently or to not always have to agree with us, but know that we're still spending 80% of our time doing things that help Democrats, Republicans, and independents to live a safer and more secure life.

And so you just mentioned that last... What you're for and not who you're against.

And so you just mentioned that last... What you're for and not who you're against.

It takes work. So when I started my my last my reelection campaign, we had had the best three years, two years of economic development in history by far. I mean, we we'd already broken in a three and a half year period, every record for a governor, for private sector investment, for new jobs. And remember, my dad had been governor.

Right.

Right.

And he was number two. So I had to call and tell him about it. But when we started and we saw the polling, I was only winning on the economy by four points. Again, more new jobs and more new investment than ever before. And we did some focus groups. And what we saw is people just needed to be reminded. You'd say, well, what about those two giant battery plants?

They'd say, I read something about that. And then you'd say, what about the 5,000 jobs? And they said, oh, yes, and the 5.8%.

billion dollars and so we can't just uh assume that people have seen the work right we've got to prove it we've got to show it again we got to get that dirt on our boots by the end of that campaign um our exit polling had us winning on the economy by 30 to 40 points so so it's important to have the record But you can't have an ego about this thing.

You've got to go in and prove what you've done over and over and over. And that discipline, you've seen it in politics, means you might give the same speech every night because somebody needs to hear that message. But it's got to be about more than you. It's got to be about the work and the results, and that's how you get it out there.

Yeah, I think it's those core areas. I think we'd say we as a Democratic Party are going to be the party of jobs, of accessible health care, of safe infrastructure, of good public schools, and of public safety where it's not just the numbers say you're safe, but you feel safe.
