Among the many reasons that I really love working in Texas, which is like when we're when we're doing stuff, we're doing stuff because we can find like a level of unity around it. You know, in inside of the Democratic Party, we are beefing with each other about so many different things here in Texas.

We can kind of all come together and we can be like, well, you know, like we think trans people should should be protected. We think that they should have some level of protections.

So, like, I love – I think being in opposition is fantastic because it gives you this this opening to say, like, well, like we may not agree on all of our preferred implementations on school finance.
