Well, let me go back to that question about what message, perhaps, primary voters who chose to take part in the Republican primary, and that can be Republicans or unaffiliateds, where do you think their head's at, given these results?

I don't know.

Honestly, mixed reviews.

I do know that they're they're probably looking at people should be looking at what happened in the Democrat side where Denver voted in a socialist in the congressional race, kicked out a 29 year, 30 year incumbent in Diana to get.

So that's kind of.

I think that's interesting stark news.

Maybe it's a reality check that, you know, where the Democrats are going.

Is it an identity that you embrace, one that you feel you have to distance yourself from? What is your relationship to MAGA?

And the same thing I will ask all of the gubernatorial candidates is, What can be done and what has to be done for a Republican, a conservative to win the governorship of this state? And what can be done to get this place going back the way it used to be? I mean, what are your plans? What do you see happening that you would do?

Yeah, thank you.

There was a bunch of questions in there.

So let me start with what are my plans or what are we going to do kind of thing.

And here's what a governor can do.

I can stop the out-of-control spending that's occurring by the Democrats.

I mean, this one-party control that we've had, Democrats, for the last eight years has just, as you know, J.D., has just made a huge mess out of our state.

If somebody can get that Latino vote, they're going to win without any problem at all.

Kirchmeyer.

Thank you.

Thank you for the question, and thank you all for participating here tonight and being engaged with us in this conversation.

Um, and before we get started, I promised my six grandsons that I would give them a shout-out.

So, hey, guys.

I'm here.

Um, so with that, um, where have the Democrats overreached? Pretty much in every area.

Ms. Kirchmeyer.
