Brian, you've spent so much time over the years talking to candidates, working with candidates, showing them the data about what works, well, at least what voters like about policies related to children and families.

If you want to hear more of this conversation, you can find a YouTube link in our show notes.

Tomorrow, we will not have a live stream for Economics on Tap.

Good to have you along.
