And a lot of her platform is about really exposing what happens in the federal government and, like, the machinations that have been going on in the Trump administration.

She had a lot of really interesting things to say.

And frankly, her story of what it looked like to really confront Doge in a federal way and have that be entirely shut down and turned around was fascinating.

This was a really, really interesting look for us.

Absolutely.

I mean, that's so much of this is that like these individuals that she also found went on to be part of also so many other agencies throughout the federal government.

These weren't like one-off folks.

She was interacting with some of the big leagues.

Honestly, it's hard to say because it's a little bit early and it's a very, very crowded race, like the 6th Congressional District in Maryland, crowded, lots of folks in there.

From what we've been seeing online, though, federal workers love her.

And a lot of federal workers, both current and former, live in this district.

So she has a shot.

Yeah, absolutely.

And look, Goldstein, she's running as a Dem.

She's been very critical of how Democrats have taken kind of a passive approach, like, you know, we'll get in there once we take back the House.

And so I'm very interested to kind of see how that messaging plays in the midterm environment as well.

She's said, for example, that it's a priority to, you know, continue the CFPB's work.

And it's going to take, though, quite some time, which she recognizes—

to undo a lot of these damages, especially when it comes to agencies like the CFPB that were just like so monumentally gutted.

I'm really going to be following this one closely.
