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.
2:21:13
And so I just wanna thank you for being here today.
2:21:16
Thank you for your ongoing efforts.
2:21:18
And please, like, very sincerely, let us know how we can help.

And I I think council member Schulman has a
Lynn C. Schulman
2:21:22
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.
