Okay, so how many hours do you put in on this part-time job?

So a lot of people don't understand that you're limited on time, yet you put the time in, even though you're really not getting compensated to do it.

I totally get that.

I was raised on a farm as well.

Yeah.

And when you can get a bill passed that really helps people, it's got to make you feel really accomplished and feel good.

Unfortunately, people are always going to think that the legislators aren't doing anything.

And that's not just in your state.

That's all across the country.

How do you explain to them so they understand that you are really trying, but they're in a situation where they feel that you don't get it, but you really do?

How do you get that across to them?

So do you have any bills coming up or are you working on any legislation that might help the people that we've been talking about?

I can only imagine.

Now with that said, how do you deal with it?

A lot of these things can be very, very overwhelming.

You have so many people coming to you.

You have so many people that tell you how much help they need.

How do you handle it so that you know that you're doing this, you're making as much progress as you possibly can, so you can get up in the morning feeling good about what you're trying to do?

Yeah, that makes perfect sense.

Now, what about the other people that you talk with, the other senators and legislators?
