commitment to investing by training and developing staff and you can see that in the reflection of their top staff in particular. you re saying young people, but there are working professionals right now i m sure who are working in policy spaces who are ready to, you know, walk into a congressional office today and lend their expertise. i talked to a group of latino voters in florida who many of them had some sort of policy expertise and were asking how can i transfer these skills to work on the federal policy level. what s your advice to those folks? sure. so organizations like herline s organization as well as there s a office of diversity inclusion on the house side that lends itself to candidates that are seeking opportunities on the house side. the senate side, there s a senate democratic initiative that assists candidates in providing opportunities on the senate side as well. all right. well i want you to dm me that
