Government needs to work with private sector, and that's things like Giant Studios.

to small and medium-sized businesses.

You have to have a competitive landscape.

It's something that we think about at the federal level.

I know municipalities think about it, and that's something the state needs to continue to lead on.

We want to drive business here.

We want to grow homegrown businesses that are at the center of places like Jersey City and make sure that we create an environment for them to do so.

Yeah, I think we are inching closer.

But, you know, for us, it's been a clear mission that goes back to the affordability challenge and specifically for Democrats' health care.

You know, Republicans voted to take a trillion dollars out of Medicaid.

That's going to make health care more expensive for everyone.

We know at the end of the year, the ACA premium tax credits expire.

So if you allow those to expire, premiums are going to increase for everyone on the exchange.

At some point, it has to stop, right?

We're talking about SNAP and the administration not funding it.
