mr. doyle: the gentleman yields back. it is now my pleasure to recognize, he just made his grand entrance, my good friend, . walton, member of the full committee. mr. walden: thank you for being here. your insight will be important to a process we began last congress. our nation's telecommunications infrastructure represents the lifeblood of a free and open societyismforto disrupt that infrastuckture should be taken as an effort to undermine our liberties. today's -- the bills before us today continue on a commitment we made last congress that commitment is to have a bipartisan process to mitigate threats and secure this sector going forward. moreover, i know chairman pallone and i agree that the energy and commerce committee is singularly able to speak to these topic in the congress and with both sides working together with stake holders ranging from industries and civil society we can do so successfully. everyone in this room should agree on the importance of securing our neigh's networks from vulnerable equipment. we heard testimony two years ago on the vulnerabilities in these networks and heard of the impact

. >> supervisor walton: my question is for mr. pearson. i'm sorry i didn't ask you. i'm going to ask every candidate this question. how do you think diversity is for this oversight committee? >> i think it's the most important part. yeah. i think that what the legislation that supervisor fewer put forth, in an ideal world, it would have gone through last year. as a city, we lost a little bit of our head start. seeing like so many l.a. products populate our stores to a local producer, known as an artisan, it really hurts. because we have so many good producers in town. i also think that to our point of the disranged neighborhoods, we drove mostly brokers out of town there. these kids were brokers that were taking it from the grower around the dispensary, showing it and doing the part that we didn't have the time to do. so running them out of business is to me one of the parts that just -- on the social justice that really gets me. >> okay. >> supervisor ronen: don't go far. i have one more question for you. >> no. no. after you. >> diversity is very important. diversi
