How much time does a a member in Congress actually spend, I suppose, reading, reviewing, writing, or considering actual legislation?
5:46
Some members are true policy wonks.
5:51
They want to get into the weeds.

Once you figure out which committees you're going to serve on, that helps sort of set the stage for how much time and staff resources you're going to invest in certain areas.

So for a state like Arizona, you've got Arizona issues that no matter what committee you're on, there are certain issues that are important to Arizona, like water being one that jumps off the top of my head.
6:19
And so even if you're on the Foreign Relations Committee, You're still going to have to have somebody on your team with some expertise in water, since that's an issue that touches all of Arizona.
6:30
It just depends on the member.

I'm just curious, you know, just given your experience, what do you think is perhaps the most memorable or interesting connection that you've made with a voter or somebody who's reached out, maybe some sort of issue they had? Does anything stand out to you in your history?
