They asked recently, demanded, I should say recently, all of the private voter information for Pennsylvanians, about 9 million or so registered Pennsylvania voters.

And by the way, not just Scott Detrow and what party you're registered for and how many times you voted, that's publicly available, but all of Scott's private information that the state has a legal responsibility to protect.

We refuse to turn that over because I believe they're going to use it for nefarious purposes.

And we were sued by the Department of Justice to compel us to provide that information.

We still haven't.

We're going to continue to battle in court to protect the private information of the citizens of Pennsylvania.

That's just one example of how I believe they're preparing to ramp up to try and undermine the midterms.

And I think these midterms are incredibly important.

They're important to you.

You're on the ballot.

I am on the ballot.

But I think it is broader than me.

And look, I hope the good people of Pennsylvania return me to this position, which I just feel honored to serve them in.

But I think right now you have people who, and I'm sure you've heard this too, who

who can't, I mean this with the most respect, who can't handle the news, who just wanna shut it off and they wanna pull the covers over and they wanna retreat.

And what I would say to them is now is a time to engage, not to retreat.

And the best way we can engage is by using our power.

Sometimes our power is engaging with people online.

But for all of us, the power we have is the power to vote.

And so whether you're privileged to live in a swing state like Pennsylvania or be in one of these swing districts, of which we've got four of them here in our Commonwealth, or even if you're in one of these 80-20 districts, show up and vote in record numbers.
