Like, because I served... This is where I think age is maybe the wrong way to look at this. I mean, Nancy, in some ways, is one of the most still... She's incredible. ...compelling and, like, you know, like, she's just... She's more on her game than... You know, some of the more younger members.
I mean, I worked for Nancy. That was my first job. And I had a hard time at 22 years old keeping up with her. I mean, I genuinely, and I still, I'm still like, she buzzes around the floor the way I do. And I find myself sitting down and sort of taking a minute. sooner than she does.

But so I think I think it's time, you know, where you, you know, and I think term limits forces people to take a break. So, you know, the idea is 18 years for the Supreme Court. That seems to make a lot of sense to me. It doesn't preclude you from coming back. So anyways, the reason why I'm a little skeptical of age is that and this is a unique thing.

So hopefully Scott will, you know, give me some grace here. But the when I got to City Hall, I think everyone needs good mentors. My mentor was a guy named David, or is a guy named David Mann. He was a former member of Congress, mayor, and then he wanted to come back. And he was at City Hall and he and I ran the budget together and I learned so much from him.

And I thought that was a hugely important thing that he came back. You know, he helped us get through some really complicated years and some really complicated budgets. So I think it's, I tend to believe that, yes, elections should be more competitive. I want to end partisan gerrymandering so that we have more competitive elections. I want to get money out of politics.

Yeah. I mean, I do think it's – It's ideas and energy and a worldview and trustworthiness that matters most, right, as opposed to age. That's all. And there are people who are younger who have lost their way, in my opinion.

One argument I'd make— I think I'm going to make it here and we'll see how it plays out is that maybe we need some nineties kids. Now I say that obviously as a nineties kid, but in the nineties, if you grew up in the nineties, like me, you didn't have the internet. So you appreciate a world without the internet. Uh, I didn't, I, you know, like, I think I got my first email address.
