and please welcome to the stage now, megan darby. >> hello. thanks for having me. at the elder state offices. and the man who is now the governor was a huge supporter of person hood. so what we really did, and would they're thankful for all of you helped us to do, was we created a climate where people could talk about this, and where people had doubts and where people were given permission to be pro life. because they are in the state of mississippi. and be against personhood. so i think we were the least voted on, because we did create a culture of doubt that some people weren't comfortable voting no. but they definitely weren't comfortable voting this into law. and i'm happy to report that they did try a couple maneuvers in the state legislature this year to try to get personhood back up and running and it has been defeated. so we will not see personhood of mississippi for at least a couple more years. so let me transition into what we definitely will be seeing. and i'm going to start out in the state of north dakota. on the june primary, june 12th, there will be
