Acevedo states she can submit a document with data and information to support her points.

I wanna make sure we hear from Anita who has a question online.
2:35:24
Yes.
Anita Laremont
2:35:25
Thank you.
2:35:26
Thank you.
2:35:27
My question is for me.
2:35:29
I I just wanted to ask you if you have any data that supports the things that you said about how in the places that have gone to the nonpartisan primaries that people of color have been disenfranchised in terms of being able to run for office because we really have to make our judgments based on some evidence.
2:35:52
And and, you know, beyond assertions that that is true, we would really encourage any data that you could give us that would help us to understand what really is going on.
Cleo Acevedo
2:36:07
Yeah.
2:36:07
So, I don't wanna take one more time because I know that we're late, but I can actually submit all of the data that I have.
