Yeah, you bet. Born and raised in my district, which I love. It's western Pennsylvania, outside Pittsburgh, all the way to the Ohio and West Virginia borders. Battleground, you know, swing district. Went to the Naval Academy after high school. So 9-11 is my senior year of high school. It makes me 40, which I guess is middle age now.

Yeah. I deployed at sea a couple of times. I did a tour on the ground in Iraq. And then I came home, became a lawyer, did some voting rights work, Brennan Center, worked at the University of Pittsburgh, and then ran for Congress in 2022. My predecessor and friend, Conor Lamb, ran for the Senate. I held that seat. Now on my second term, serving in the House.

You know, I think we're in a moment where like we're we're scrambling the old left right center stuff for Democrats. And for a long time, that's been the divide. And yet I've been seeing colleagues across, say, the New Democrats and the Progressive Caucus and the Blue Dogs.

who are where I am, which is to say like aggressively front and center on the economy and, you know, fighting for our people against whoever is ripping them off and making life worse. And I think that's actually like a glue that can connect more of the Democrats. You know, there are parts of it that are pretty progressive and there are parts of it that are all about growing the pie, right?

Like it's one thing to say, you work hard, let's make sure you get a bigger piece of the pie, but let's also grow the damn thing. And I think that's where I want the party to go.

And so there are parts of more progressive populist economics and there are parts of, you know, my abundance colleagues that I think together, that is the future for Democrats and can frankly put us in a strong position to unite to fight against Donald Trump in this moment.
