Guys, I wanted to call in and just talk to you about my area. And maybe get some ideas from you on how you know we can turn some things around over here. You know Minnesota has this weird history of being like weirdly you know with the DFL party. they've been very progressive in some areas. Of course not perfect but compared to their neighbors much more progressive. My district which used to have Collin Peterson a very moderate dem for 30 years now has Michelle Fischbach. And I'm curious you know how can we organize out here to at a bare minimum get us back to where we were because of that switch from Fischbach to Colin Peterson. I mean Michelle Fischbach is maybe a little quieter than others but just as extreme as the rest I think in my opinion. So just kind of curious about what you think we can do from organizing. You know city politics out here is really limited. Being that we're so rural but just curious what your thoughts are on how we can combat that. And try and get it to get us back to at least them. I mean I don't know the area not matt what's your thinking. I mean I'm for the democratic party in North Dakota I mean it's been a while since I thought it super closely but I mean I remember when they had somebody go up against Rick Burgin it was just some old Democrat that literally in the paper was like they selected me to run for this office. I mean I would yeah I mean I think like I mean I'm not sure I feel like Fargo Moorhead got had a few DSA candidates and maybe won some local elections. Like that's where I would be putting my energy. Because I don't unless the Democrats cause like what Democrats have they come up with Heidi Heitkamp?
