Well, it's a different approach. And I always say this, that I never, and honest to God, I never thought about running for office before. I have a whole life before this, teaching National Guard in my community and things like that. But I think my life prepared me well. And so I approach like, look, you have got to be pretty self-aware and pretty humble to teach high school for a lot of years.

But it's also so gratifying. And I think one of the things is that I'm super sensitive to this idea. These are servant leadership positions. This isn't a special thing that you've been granted. Your job is to work for people. And I try and approach it like I was hired to teach kids in school, so I need to do my best job. And I've been hired to be a representative.

And I took great pride that I was very bipartisan. I... You know, this idea that we can't figure things out. My staff, we always had a saying that, you know, if the facts dispute our ideology, we change our ideology. It's that simple. You're not married to it. So a lot of times I don't have an ideological dog in a fight. It's just what the facts show.

And I think trying to approach these things like problem solving, you're working with people, you're trying to do your best. I'll be the first to admit it has been really challenging with Donald Trump. You know, I won a congressional race in 2016. Donald Trump won my district by double digits, nearly 20%. So thousands of people voted for Donald Trump and me on that. That was only a few years ago.

Now, would that be true today? Probably not. They've continued to. But I think trying to focus on what the job is, that it's a humbleness and it's not your whole identity. I watch these folks try and hang on to these jobs and things like that. If the folks don't want me to do it, they won't do it. But I'm telling you, Here's what we can do.

Yeah, we were speaking of the overwhelming thing on this back... during that debate, you know, they drove me through Times Square to see my picture up on those big screens. And so somebody said, you look nervous. No kidding. I'm sitting there freaking out. But I'm honest to God, before things went live, I'm standing there and I'm like,
