You know, honestly, I think the heart of what I believe in is what the Army taught me.
And it sounds simplistic, but it's actually not.
It's when we were 17 and we first joined,
I remember on day two, we learned this concept of leave no one behind ever.
Right.
You get one of my people.
I will send a battalion in and go get them if I have to, because we leave no one behind.
And that's very much how I view the world where I just feel like we have an obligation.
Like if I'm starting with 10, I'm finishing with 10.
that everybody's gonna matter as we make it across the finish line.
And mission accomplishment isn't that one component of mission accomplishment is actually, did you take care of all of your people?
Did all of your people make it back okay?
And I actually think that's the right kind of guidance in terms of the way we think about our policy work.
And when people say, well,
For example, you talk about public safety, that Republicans say law and order and Democrats say abolish the police or whatever.
Do you support law enforcement or do you support community?
My point is I don't think you have to choose.
For example, what did we do in Maryland?
We had a crisis of violence in Maryland when I first became the governor, where Baltimore City in 2022 was averaging almost a homicide a day.
And I said, listen, I refuse to be a governor who's just giving thoughts and prayers and offering eulogies for eight years and not doing nothing about the violence.
