Never fight the urge to give, Eric.
And I put her quote on my first piece of literature when I ever ran for state house.
And I still live by that principle today.
And it led me to a life of public service, to helping people, understanding that we're no better than anyone else and vice versa.
but we all have to utilize our God given talents and abilities to serve people.
And at the end of the day, so many folks are struggling.
They need folks to be their most authentic selves, but they need people who are going to rise to the occasion and meet the urgency of this moment.
I got seniors on fixed income here that literally make, you know, receive $900 a month from social security every month.
Literally their, their rent is $800 and,
Right.
Their food assistance from the federal government just got cut down to less than $30 a month.
And their out-of-pocket costs to do doctor visits and for prescription drugs has skyrocketed.
And so every few weeks they have to make a conscious decision.
Either I'm going to have food at the table.
I'm going to be able to eat, I'm going to be able to pay my rent, or I'm going to have to figure out ways to have some dollars for my life-saving medicine.
These are the conditions of our district and people are going through.
Folks are working two, three jobs, not even making ends meet anymore, Eric.
And so for me, this is deeper than politics.
This is about adhering to the moment and the needs of the people in the district, not sending money for bombs and weapons to kill families and children overseas.
And not for any type of foreign influence or special interests or running a grassroots campaign.
