I know what it is like to not have housing and live in a tent in the middle of winter.

My entire career has been as a public servant and a doctor.

It starts out with gas and groceries that we all know have gotten higher.

Healthcare right now, you know, there are parts of the state you have to go an hour and 15 minutes to deliver a baby or have a cavity filled.

Agriculture, somebody has to work off the farm.

to actually be able to have health insurance, and the costs are going up, as we all know.

Yeah.

Ben, thank you so much for having me.

Long time fan and honestly, just a thrill to be here.

I never imagined I would be here, as you were saying.

My life, I'm almost 40 years now a physician in the field of preventive medicine and public health.

But I have been a lifelong public servant trying to address some of the most wicked hard problems we face.

And it has taken me over the last year to two on the road, listening deeply to Ohioans.

They are showing up in crowds we just can't believe.

Everyone keeps telling me they're seeing people they have never seen before.

And you're right, it does not know party.

And people are not talking about the stuff we hear so loudly, the culture wars.

They are talking about the fact that they are longing for public servants again who solve problems instead of make problems.

They are longing.

They don't much care about party.
