00:00At what point in your life did you ever envision becoming the mayor?
00:03Well, I think growing up in politics, I saw it a lot. You know, this position was always there,
00:09especially when my dad was the mayor. But never really, you know, everybody said,
00:14well, you were planning on this for decades. I was like, no, you really can't in politics. I
00:18think it's just the right time at the right place. And you also have to have the right message. And
00:23when I look back, you know, I really love being on council. I love the transition to the county
00:28controller position. We had some great employees there. And then we just we were sort of looking
00:33at where the city was. And we thought like, okay, collectively, you know, my staff, myself,
00:39my friends, especially my family, we're like, this is a great opportunity. And it's the right time.
