That's fair.
61:02
Uh, fair, right? Uh, I th- I think there's, there's two things that I really want to be able to focus on.
61:07
So my, my perspective coming into this is I- I don't intend to be a forever politician.
61:12
This is, this was not on my bingo card.
61:14
My job is to fix the problems that we have right now and build the foundation so that the next generation can start to build something better.
61:21
Um, and so when I think about my policy priorities, it's, "All right, how do I do that?" There's existing legislation that starts those systemic fixes.
61:30
Um, I'm part of only two organizations outside of Utah.

Mr. Crosby, if elected, where do you cut back or find new ways to find money?
28:34
Yeah, I think the Fiscal Commission is absolutely a good step in the right direction.
28:38
I would emphasize, though, that we don't ask the administration for permission.
28:41
Congress is the most powerful branch of government by design.
28:45
Congress legislates, they pass the law, and the executive then comes to the table.
28:51
I think there's a couple of opportunities.
28:52
One, we have to close tax loopholes.

And was that surprising to you when that result came back? A
13:09
little bit.
13:10
A little bit, right? So we'll frame this for people that aren't familiar with northern Utah.
13:16
Yeah.
13:17
We just had a new district drawn and that district is all of basically all of northern Utah, which if you look on paper should be an R plus 29 district.
13:27
Right.
13:28
And Blake Moore in past elections has actually won this district by anywhere from 30 to 35 points.

I'd love to get granular for just a moment here and talk about in District 2, I'd like to give you a moment to speak about what are you going to do to help District 2? What are they facing that you can help them with?
