They were tough people and they didn't like what they were doing to me.
And apparently the public didn't either.

respected incumbent, I guess, in the primary.
And I never looked back.
And I became, I was in the state house for four years, state Senate for 12 years.

My thing is when people come to me, because you can hire a lobbyist, you can hire,
a lawyer, but the average working guy, they call the front desk and they ask, can I speak to Tim?
Because they think they know me because the government's ripped them off.
And I always remember during that time,
It was when, do you remember Travelgate under the Clinton administration?
Yes.
And it seems like, I think Hillary and Bill, if I remember correctly, these people that were running the travel operation at the White House and Congress, they ran them out of business.
So they put their friends in there.
And those people traveled the country because I remember they had a half a million dollars, or they had $300,000 in legal expenses.
I had more than that in the most business.
I mean, they were threatening a felony.
They were going to throw me in the federal penitentiary over this thing.
because I wouldn't give up.
