John Reeves

Well, again, you're a freshman. And, you know, my colleague and one that was just here, Senator Vance. I mean, we were both in the same cycle. We both ran in 22. So we both there for less than two years. And it's really based on seniority. And it's just kind of like, hey, get on the end of that line. So you are a freshman and your influences, at least in the institution, are limited in some sense.

But if you have a bigger platform, and I did, and I try to have those kinds of impacts and having those conversations, But my first half of that first year, that took a different detour because I was dealing with depression. I was in depression, and I realized that I was in a bad place.

So having to make those kind of choices, and I signed myself in to Walter Reed to get help because of the depression. And so I think... It's an important conversation. And I knew I thought at that time it could be politically could be difficult, but I thought it was important. And now if that costs me something politically, I'm OK. So that's why I'm continuing.

So how the impact I've had, I never fully expected that that voice would would break through. And I'm in contact with people constantly saying, thank you for talking about this. I chose to get help or I chose not to follow that path on self-harm. And so I've had active conversations with member of Congress or fathers with younger kids. And they're like, hey, can you please talk? And I do that.

I'm happy to talk to anybody. And so that's a way I've had an impact through all of that and also my voice through after what happened on 10-7, October 7. And I've decided I was going to be a very consistent voice for Israel through that. So that's why kind of like the platform.

But in terms of if anyone's being honest, whether it was Senator Vance or any kinds of freshman senators, it's very limited because otherwise there's people that have been there for 25, 30 years. They're the ones that are going to be the chairman. And if you're a minority party, you have incredibly limited kinds of ability to move an agenda forward.

I think it's really important. I'm really glad you did it. Well, thank you, but I don't think it was really courage. It's like I only had a choice.

Well, originally I was just going to talk about depression. And there's a paradox. You might be a place in your life that you've actually kind of won, but depression lies to you and it convinces you that you've lost. And my depression got far more worse after I won. And then it was a downward spiral. And then if you don't check your depression, then you go down a dangerous slope about self-harm.
