Uh, and, um, and so I feel like that structure, um, that example is what allowed me to kind of harness some of those impulses and channel them in more productive ways.
Right.
Cause now I take that impulse of speaking truth to power and I do it on the house floor on behalf of my constituents, right.
Calling out big pharma, calling out, you know, a billionaire mega donors.
Like I'm able to do that because, um, I've channeled
that trait into something that's useful and productive for the world.
And I think my dad is really who, through his raising, helped me do that.
So I just, I kind of just, I give him so much of the credit for the person I am today and the work that I get to do.
I don't know if I would be doing any of this if my dad hadn't raised me into the man I am today.

Madeline's my sister.
You know, Madeline was born 10 weeks premature, and it was a frightening pregnancy, frightening delivery, and doctors weren't sure if she was going to make it.
They told us she wasn't going to be able to talk or walk.

So there she was with a baby struggling to survive, no job, another kid who needs to be watched.
My dad died.
took on extra work to kind of keep our family afloat.
