What are the plans here to revitalize rural health care and make sure that we give rural folks that at least stepping stone to better care?

Yeah, absolutely.

So, I mean, you're spot on.

And it's interesting to you bringing up the Audrain County facility because I, you know, that that one I've actually been to as I've been traveling.

I went to a campaign stop in Mexico about a year ago now.

And yeah, that's with the redistricting and such, you know, we'll see what's in district or not.

But it's the perfect example of what it looks like when a hospital closes in town.

And as an architect, I'm just really curious, what are your ideas or plans to start addressing those issues?

So how are you approaching this? Admittingly, unknown future.

Right.

I mean, that's just it is very unknown.

I mean, when I started running, I was running in 39 counties against Sam Graves.

And then, you know, between that point a year and a half ago and now we're down to 33 counties and it's Chris Tagal, Sam Graves 2.0, his handpicked successor.

So, you know, I kind of had had the approach from the get go with the 6th District in its original 39 county configuration.

I knew it was a tall mountain to climb, but I think that a fault that the Democrats have had for a period of time has been kind of seeding some of these rural areas and essentially surrendering before we give it a shot.

What message do you have for Democrats nationally that this is a race that you think people should pay attention to, either from just paying attention to it, pouring resources to help you, pouring resources in just to build the Democratic Party in rural parts of the state where it hasn't really been active? What's your message on that?
