I mean, the biggest thing that I've learned so far is, one, a lot of candidates will run a race and then they'll lose on the first go around just because of name recognition.

Everybody, you know, you may think you're popular.

Let's even say you were an ex-athlete or you were a high powered attorney or whatever, wherever you came from.

People may know you, but do people know you across an entire state of four million voters?

I mean, that's a big difference.

And there's a lot of people who aren't as tuned in to the, you know, to the wavelength and mainstream media as we would even think.

And so, you know, people will run, they'll lose and then they'll quit.

They'll be like, oh, I'm done.

Anybody who thinks that we can take one shot at these incumbents, especially in these deep blue states like Minnesota, California, New York, or what have you, is mistaken.

Or they're in it just for the money, which is another issue.

Well, I think people have to view United States Senate races as national races, every single one, because 100 U.S.

senators decide the legislation and laws in this country.

So I don't really talk about Minnesota issues.

I think global issues affect the local and vice versa.

Minnesota, no different.

Minnesota is unique in that we have a very concentrated per capita Fortune 500 population.

business community, right?

You got Cargill and General Mills and Medtronic and 3M and, you know, Ecolab and all these, you know, global companies.

And then you have a very significant agriculture, you know, business as well.

You know, Minnesota is one of the biggest ag producers in the country.
