Yeah.
You know, I thought about the version of me in 40 years that when asked the question to serve by my father, who at the time knew no one in Washington, D.C.
at all, said no and just proceeded with life as usual.
And that didn't like sit right with me.
So I had no intention of serving.
And a few weeks after he won, he asked Jared and
me to go with him and sort of help him navigate this new environment.
And my eyes grew big and he joked with me.
He's like, but I have to warn you, they're going to come at you hard.
They're probably going to hate you.
You're too young.
You're too, and he like, I'm like, oh my God.
I'm like, what?
That was like the anti-sale, but you know, he asked us for help.
And I feel incredibly
that he gave us the opportunity to serve a country we love so much.
We hadn't been expecting it.
We hadn't set up our lives for it.
We were loving the path we were on and the work we were doing.
But you also, you know, can't put your head in the sand.
