From the transcript

And basically the statistics showed that overnight more women were running for office and winning their elections and more people of color were running for office and winning their elections. And so I don't know if you wanna speak to that at all, but that really jumped out at me this is moving in the right direction because more people are, are participating and it's less focused on the party system, which you kind of missed some of our introduction. We had Bill Hill on for our U.S. House, House race, and we talked a little bit about just the negative politics and, you know, how, how much like just with the party focus, that a lot of Alaskans, the majority of Alaskans, are not affiliated with either of the two major parties, correct? Yeah, that's exactly right. So 64% of Alaskans are not with either major party.
