Well, I think it's,

It's the same message I think that every working person or just every common person in this country has.

We're just tired, sick and tired of being stepped on.

We have a government that gives everything to the billionaires, gives everything to the well-connected.

And meanwhile, we have to fight for every little crumb that we get in this country.

And the person I'm running against, Bill Ferguson, he's not only a person that stood up or backed down to redistricting.

when every single Democrat in this country was asking him to do it as a tactical defense to Project 2025, as a tactical defense to protect reproductive rights for every woman in this country, as a tactical defense.

So marriage isn't defined as one man and one woman.

He didn't only back down from that, but he backed down from our utility companies who have just been just raking us over with their rates.

He backed down from protecting reproductive rights in this state when Roe v. Wade,

was going to be overturned and it was apparent, it was obvious.

Every women's rights organization begged him to add a constitutional amendment to Maryland's constitution, basically codifying that reproductive rights are safe in this state.

He didn't do it.

Roe v. Wade was overturned and we went almost an entire year before the next General Assembly session where they can actually put that in our constitution.

I just think people are tired of this wait and see, wait and see mentality.

from our politicians when we can no longer afford to wait and see, not only in saving our democracy, but also in just paying our bills and being able to survive as working people in this country.

And you brought it up at one point, I was a firefighter back in the day, right?

And the best way to fight a fire is to prevent the fire from happening in the first place.

We need to stop electing politicians who wait for the building to be burning

before they run in with a hose and give us whatever minimal protections they actually do in the end.
