I'm struggling to get groceries. I'm seeing our food bank lines out the door. I can't put gas in my tank, my high utility costs. And I think, one example yesterday, someone was just really nervous to be there, but they knew it was important to be there because they knew that their healthcare was on the line. And that made them really nervous and scared and anxious. So I had that special moment in that line with that voter. And I think this is what this election boiled down to. I think people were irritated with what they were seeing. I hope that they could see that this is change for our state, for our country.
