And I know for you, your mom has been an influential hero in your life.

Well, I want to pull something out.

a photo that your mom posted of her hugging you, giving you a kiss.

And she wrote, I got to vote for Jimmy for the first time today.

I hope no one heard me crying in the booth.

When you see her in that photo and she's able to share with the world how proud she is of you, how does it make you feel?

We don't often hear about your adopted dad, Mark Tallarico, when you're out there on the campaign trail.

Can you tell us about him and his role in your life?

To say that he is the best thing that's ever happened.

I've never heard you share that before.

I've never heard you talk about this, and that's a big thing to say, and he's probably going to watch this and cry.

Like, if I was a parent and my child said that about me, yeah.

This is fascinating.

You're born with that fight in you.

Yeah.

And then we're seeing it playing out right now.

Yeah.

In a lot of areas that people are really passionate about.

Yeah.

Yeah.
