I think that that is a very reasoned, rational and probably common thought. I very intentionally don't view it that way. Because I am someone who approaches this as... A true rising tide lifts all boats. And that even when you talk to the real estate developers, etc., they are also very much invested in New York City and in making New York City a better, more affordable place. place to live.

And that's to their benefit as well. So I actually do not think that working as a member in this district has mutually exclusive interests, because I think that if you are working to help those that need perhaps a little bit more of a boost, as long as you're not trying to do that at the expense of

of other people, and I think that's one of the things that the Democratic Party suffers from, is to view it as a zero-sum game. Or not and, right? You're taking it away from someone else. I don't think that's the right way to look at it. It's not the way I look at it. And I think because of that, we can all collectively be working together to improve the city, the country, and everyone's lives.

That's a very good question. I took an unconventional path to Congress because I was not an elected official beforehand. And I had worked as a staff member in Washington. Most members of Congress get to... get to Washington, get to Congress, they're very familiar with their districts and all of the leaders and the community stakeholders and other officials, etc. And they need to learn DC.

I actually kind of had it the reverse. I felt most comfortable in a committee room because that's what I had done as a staff member. And so I spent a lot of time, I hired a disproportionate amount of staff in the district because I wanted to make sure that I was putting proper resources in the district so that Even if I have to be in D.C., I have staff everywhere.

And so the real steepest learning curve for me was really understanding a lot of the local politics, a lot of the local issues. Ja, genau. Genau, genau.
