Well, I think she's been one of the dozen or so Republican members in Congress that has spoken up most about the risks of and the impacts of the Medicaid cuts.

2:21:06

And I think your direct advocacy as leaders in your communities is gonna really matter in the months to come.

question as Yeah.

2:21:22

I I also wanna make a suggestion that maybe you try to set up a meeting with the minority leader, Joanne Areola, because she has she all she has access to Maliotakis as well, and she might be able to be helpful.

2:21:37

And I've talked to her about some of the cuts as well.

2:21:40

And so she has listened, and she says on the health committee and all of that, but I want to make that suggestion.
