Okay.
A whole new experience.
I told you earlier, I think life is about challenging yourself, finding your greatness.
Governor Bradford, this goes to politics.
Governor Bradford was on the Mayflower, and he wrote the Mayflower Compact.
And he has a quote that says, all great accomplishments are accompanied with great difficulties.
And both must be enterprised and overcome with answerable courage.
And so...
Getting into it, I knew it wasn't going to be easy, but this is where you find out what your courage level is.
I'd been doing it as a gang and drug detective.
You're running into buildings that everything inside of you tells you don't run into that building, or you're dealing with people with guns, and you're running towards the fire and the problems as opposed to running away from it.
And so you condition yourself to continue to look for opportunities to test your courage level.
This is a different type of test, but putting yourself out there into the public, putting your family on the line, that was a whole new thing.
And it's probably better you don't know fully what you're getting into because you probably wouldn't do it if you did.
I can imagine.
Who were you running against?
So we had a sheriff at the time.
His name was Sheriff Babiou.
He had done a lot of great things in the office, but I was banking on the fact he was going to run for Congress.
So I put in my paperwork, and sure enough, he ran for Congress.
