And I just wanted to give a special shout out to you Yenis for bringing these amazing young women here today to testify because I have to say oftentimes it's the youth youth's voices that are not part of the conversation.

So I just wanna commend you all for being here and being part of this process because Lord knows when I was in high school I was not doing this stuff and coming and testifying and Alexis your smile made me smile so thank you for that earlier.
