I'm very proud of the work that my office has done.

Like I said, this is our sixth year here.

I'm also proud of the work that we've done together, my local legislators, with the assembly members and senators, but local council members.

We work very closely together and my phone is always ringing at eleven, twelve o'clock at night with issues that they are seeing on the ground as I'm sure that everybody here has with their local DA.

But we thank you for the work that we've done together and thank you for the opportunity to come out here, state our case any new funding, but also figure out together how we keep people out of the system as well.

Thank you.
