I also just want to say that, so I ran 3 times for city council, 1 the 3rd time, The first two times I ran as an insurgent, so I didn't have county support.
0:17:54
And Paul kept encouraging me and meeting with me and telling me you can do it.
0:17:57
You can do it.
0:17:58
Don't worry about them.
0:18:00
And I actually worked for another council member who worked under your father, Peter.
0:18:07
Senior.
0:18:08
And so I knew the whole family.
0:18:10
And this I also wanna tell you that I'm a member of the budget negotiating team.
0:18:16
So when I came into the council and I was assigned as chair of the health committee.
0:18:21
Peter, you know this.
0:18:22
So B and T, you get to really shape how the budget's gonna be.
0:18:27
So there was this amount of money for the Queen's ACC Center.
0:18:32
And so people were like, well, that's so much money.
0:18:35
Maybe we should move it and this and that and I fought like hell to make sure that that money, the last two cycles, stayed in so that we could do this.
0:18:42
So and I'm very proud of doing that.
0:18:47
And with that, we're gonna call up some other folks to testify and please Please stay, and and and listen.
0:18:54
Thank you.
