Why are women so important, and why, why should they be there?

They...

I think I'll, we'll start with the s- smaller scale.

So, like, I really debated about running again, and then I was like, "Hell, I'll do it" So I ran again, and I also even thought about standing for council but just wasn't the right time for me.

And then I, having sort of come fourth in the last triennium, and then this, this triennium I came, um, second, so me and another progressive woman both got elected on the first iteration.

So it gave me this like, wow, now the people actually know me, you know, they want me to stay there.

That was kind of this amazing feeling of endorsement, even though I was nervous to really run at this small scale, and I'm really excited to hear what Rebecca has to say about all the, um, and, you know, other rewards.

Ah

The community board is

pretty chill, which is really nice.

You're really selling this.

Yeah, really.

Everybody run for community board.

It's a great stepping stone.

I probably only spend two to four hours doing community board stuff per week.

for me.
