So many of our farmers had these grants with USAID that have been cut. Now they're struggling with their soybeans. Where are they going to send these? I mean, they're hurting too. And so I think this is the opportunity not to say we were right, we told you so, but to say, welcome. Welcome to this movement. You're always welcome here.

I think my loyalty is to the movement. And so just this past election, some people who we recruited to run who won are my dear sister, Shondell Brooks, who lost her son in the Waffle House mass shooting, the first woman of color to represent her district, a powerful advocate for common sense gun laws. We were able to recruit. Even Democrats said someone like that could not win that district.

I said, we have to change the face of who is in power, who are in these halls. And so she won. We had our dear sister, Gabby Salinas, the first Latina member of the Democratic caucus to be elected. So we're changing the face of the party. bringing in people who are closer to the pain should be more proximate to the power, and changing the tradition of what it means to be a lawmaker.

And so that's what we're doing. I think that is where my loyalty is, too, is because I want to see people who are not doing it just for a title, but who are doing it who have the heart and who are willing to risk something, because that's what is required of this time. It's not to do something that's comfortable. Our democracy requires disruption.

People are disrupted, even with their mere presence, even with their mere story, to say that, hold on, we dissent. We offer an alternative narrative to your dominant narrative of fear and oppression. And I think that's what we have to do. And, you know, the other thing, too, is, you know, we've been able to raise money because we're not accepting these corporate PAC dollars.

The majority of people spend their time calling all these corporate PACs on the Hill. They have these big fundraisers with people who are against the interests of our constituents. I've rejected all that and just taken money from teachers and nurses and workers and everyday people. And so that's who I answer to. And I think that's what people want to see, that they want to see us not...

you know, compromise our values, but to say that we stand 10 toes down for them and that we're going to be consistent. And even I've had Republicans say, we disagree with you, but we know that when you say you're going to do something, you're going to be consistent and that you're going to be honest. And I think people want to see more authenticity in our politic. They want courage.
