If they're too low, you die.

And so as you're trying to keep your sugars in this narrow band, and it's difficult and it's frustrating many times, especially when you have other things you're trying to accomplish,

But it is such a reminder that this thing doesn't last forever.

And it is a beautiful, precious, fragile gift that we receive.

And it's something that we should cherish.

And I don't think I would understand that at the gut level if I hadn't been diagnosed with this illness.

Yeah, let me be honest with you.

I alone am not gonna change this.

I know there are some politicians who say I alone can fix it.

I'm not one of them because I don't wanna promise you something I can't deliver.

My goal with this campaign is to be a catalyst for people all over the state to come together and organize so that we can start, again, not finish, but start our way toward a more representative form of government.

So specifically, we talked earlier about comprehensive immigration reform.

I think we also need comprehensive political reform.

I hope my first vote, if I'm elected as US Senator, would be the For the People Act, which is something that's already been introduced.

I'm sure it'll change the details of it.

But a few things that it does is it gets big money out of politics.

It ends Citizens United, which may be the most disastrous policy for our democracy in modern American history.

And then it goes further and it bans things like gerrymandering because gerrymandering is when politicians redraw political lines to benefit themselves.

Democrats do it and Republicans do it.

Not always the same amount, but they both do it because it's not an issue of party, it's an issue of power.
