So I think it's clear to all of us, but we should say how important this is as we head into a new inaugural election, and a new city wide election, which is not very soon, but not very far.

Some of the practices that we have mentioned here, if that's law based to run political campaigns or organized fundraisers, law based bundle are already happening now for that election.

So and it will just increase.

So we should definitely not wait too long to move these things forward.
