Well, I will ask you all the question of you know, the budget cuts in a second because I know that every single program and how you support your staff and the ability to get things done also requires a reliable partnership with the city.
0:42:00
And so I know that when as November approaches, I can't help but feel a bit anxious.
0:42:07
I I don't want I don't want to feel that way.
0:42:10
I want it to be that we're not, you know, bargaining or negotiating waiting for restoration, but rather we're looking at what's next to future and expansion of clearly programs that work.
0:42:21
But I I did just wanna ask because I I thought I also remember, like, writing the letter, like, dear, Mister President.
0:42:30
So we'll see.
0:42:31
But you also mentioned you used digital screens, website, and social media used to to promote elections.
0:42:39
What do you think has been the most effective in promoting elections or just voter registration, I know you all give out the actual guides.
0:42:48
Do you give out the the paper versions?
0:42:50
I know some people prefer it.
0:42:51
Even people on this very day is prefer the paper form over an electronic version.
0:42:55
So what do you think has been the most effective in in reaching individuals in in terms of voter information and participation?
