You know, even though you're only voting for your district, city council, it's a body, right? And it can be helpful to have people with different expertise on that body, right? Maybe someone who's good at numbers, someone who has experience building affordable housing or has worked in homelessness services before, or maybe has been a, a cop or a EMT or a firefighter before, right? Some of these things might be valuable experiences to make them do their job better, so that- that's another thing to kind of look out for.
