I'm doing well.
I've heard a couple of puns over the year, but that was pretty good.
Yes, I've been covering Troy for about 20 years, and he's an interesting character.
He is a logger from far northern Maine, as you mentioned, and we're talking literally just across the river from Canada.
He was a state lawmaker for 20 years and served as the president of the Maine Senate for about six of those years.
And then he ran for the Democratic nomination for governor just last month.
But I think one of the unique things about Troy is how he got into politics.
And this comes up in his story all the time.
He tells it.
Back in the late 90s, he led a group of loggers in a protest where they actually blockaded border crossings with Canada.
And he says he ran for the state legislature because he was so frustrated and angry that the politicians down in the statehouse in Augusta
weren't listening to workers.
And, you know, he's kind of been pushing these workers' rights issues as well as these populist issues ever since.
So he's kind of this very blue-collar progressive candidate.
Yeah, he has.
I mean, he's a known quantity up here, at least in Democratic politics in Maine.
I'd say one area where his stance has changed is on abortion.
And this came up during the run for governor.
It's come up in the past.
He told me just a few years ago that abortion is not an easy issue for him personally.
