Mark. Yes, thank you. This question initially goes to Mr Ferguson, providing efficient transportation is an important role of state government. But people in eastern Washington often feel left out the North Spokane Corridor which has been in the works for more than 20 years is one such example, Governor Insley recently tried to cut funding for it. How would you work to make sure both sides of the state have top notch roads and transportation routes? Thanks for that question. And in fact, I think I mentioned earlier, I've actually been to all 39 counties and when you get to all 39 counties, you're going to have conversations with folks about their roads. For example, I met with the Kalispell tribe, the northeastern part of the state. There's a bridge near their reservation in that more isolated part of our state. They took me to that bridge to show to me it's failing, it needs to be replaced. I've had exactly those kinds of conversations all across the state. We need to continue investing in our transportation and our infrastructure. How do we do it to your question and the way I talked about before, I believe in bipartisan solutions, especially when an issue like this community across the state are suffering from a lack of resources for exactly this purpose. So look, we have to have a governor who's got a track record of balancing budgets that are bipartisan as opposed to an individual who drives up deficits when he's back in Congress and overspends his sheriff's budget. So that would be a focus of mine. This is important for our economy. This is important for jobs and as governor, we're going to make that happen.
