All right, all right, take me from what you felt in November to what you're feeling right now.
November was very hard for a lot of us.
And now tonight it's just amazing because this is our win.
This is the Democratic win over 2025, so I'm very happy.
So what were you thinking as you were campaigning throughout this cycle?
Were you as hopeful as you were in November to just kind of temper your feelings?
Right, yeah, so I was obviously trying to get back into the swing of things and kind of getting back on my toes.
But these last three weeks I was like, okay, she's got it in the bag.
Yeah, it was very, very, like, all right, she's going to win.
Yeah, no, I think the turnout was amazing.
Whether that be, you know, older voters, older voters, older voters, or young voters.
We really showed up at the polls and I think that's really awesome and, you know, showing that Democrats can have this.
We got this in the bag.
And I spoke with Susan Crawford a couple of months ago.
She acknowledged that there was kind of a way in November in December.
She went down looking at the polls.
You felt that, what did it take for me to kind of get back up and be engaged?
Yeah, yes.
I think a lot of it has to do with Brad Shimmel and with him kind of being with Elon Musk and, you know, backed up by Billin and Ayers thing.
I think a lot of people were like, you know, Elon Musk doesn't learn to be in Wisconsin politics.
And I agree.
He has no right to be involved in Wisconsin politics.
And we proved him wrong tonight because Susan is now our Supreme Court Justice.
Could you think Elon Musk's involvement in the space of any president in recent weeks helped energize the federal government as much as we may have done.
One hundred percent.
When he came to Green Bay, I was up there protesting and, you know, really giving him a mean welcome coming to Green Bay.
And, I mean, over 300 people were there, you know, protesting as well.
So, I think a lot of people, you know, were sick and tired of the fact that he was getting involved.
And, you know, we're not going to let Brad Shimmel, you know, get on our court.
You've been quite a year.
Yes.
Are you going to be on the handle like returning to normal state?
Or are you going to be looking for your next thing?
Right.
Yes.
Definitely it's going to be, you know, nice to relax.
But I'm a little sad now that everything is kind of over.
But it'll be good.
I think this is good.
You know, right?
I can have some relaxation time.
Yeah.
Finish out my college.
Get back to studying.
And, yeah, just finish off the year strong.
Yeah.
You know, the grind never stops.
The grind never stops.
So, it's just, I'm going at it all the time.
Thank you for coming over.
Good to see you guys.
Take care.
Thank you.
