Yes, I definitely want to work on health care. I think that that's a huge challenge, especially considering in our rural areas, a lot of rural hospitals are at risk of losing funding, especially if people lose access to their health care benefits. So many of our seniors are concerned about their social security. So I'm happy that we have the majority because there were talks within the Republican Party about cutting social security benefits. And so hopefully that'll put some of our seniors at ease. And then just to oversight, I think that this administration has been running rogue for the past two years. And so I'm hoping that they are taking the next couple of months to get themselves together and decide that they want to actually hold themselves to a higher standard and to the standards of our Constitution and our laws.
