I was fairly unconstrained then. And some people were not happy with that, by the way.

Well, I do think that executives have a couple of different approaches. Some say, look, I'm just going to try to bank as much political capital as I can and not ruffle the waters as little as I can. And that's my route to popularity. That was not my route. I always felt that I wanted to push the envelope of positive change. And when you mentioned incrementalism, I think it's interesting.

I think we did reach the right pace of that. As evidence, we had three of my major advances were challenged at the ballot box last November with a referendum to repeal them. Best climate change policies in the country are a capital gains tax and our first in the nation long-term care plan, which we're very proud of. We're actually the first state to have a long-term care plan for people

If you win, then it is much better. No, these were resounding victories. You know, like our Climate Commitment Act has raised several billion dollars. It restrains carbon. And we won 62 to 38. That was, you know, that's a big margin.
