I actually think she's done a lot of badass stuff.

As a Palestinian person, you know, back in the aughts, she was advocating for Palestinian humanity.

Yeah.

Yeah, this is not a district that is pro genocide.

No.

And it's like it's one of these things where I've had I just I don't think my positions are that radical on this.

I think that every civilian deserves safety.

I think that children shouldn't starve.

I think that war criminals should be held accountable, like anyone who commits a war crime should be held accountable.

And I think that Palestinians need official recognition of statehood.

Fun fact, this district has been represented essentially by two people since the 1940s.

I'm 26 and I was like, wow, how do people do this for decades and decades?

Because this is like the most rewarding shit I've ever done.

But oh my God, it is the most exhausting.

Running for office is so hard.

Yeah, I mean, it's just it's crazy.

I actually one of the other things I want to work on in Congress is making it easier to run for office, especially with like bipartisan support, banning stock trading and stuff like that.

If you are a working class person, it is so hard.
