This is how it started in Anchorage, and I vowed— I vowed when I ran for this position that I would do everything possible to be a brick wall against the things that are happening in Anchorage bleeding out here, and we just allowed something to happen here that's happening in Anchorage. So I'm kind of disgusted by this, honestly. That being said, thank you, District 1, for putting me in the seat. It's a privilege to serve you, and we'll see you next time.
