This is the FCB Podcast Network. This is Pillow Talk with Allie Michelle on the FCB Podcast Network. Today's guest has worn a few different hats from the Marine Corps and presidential advisor, congressman representing Ohio's 7th district, and also a dad. But today, I don't want to just talk about Congressman Max Miller. I want to talk about Max. Who he was before Washington, what life inside Congress is actually like, what people get wrong about him, and a few things that some people don't even know. Congressman Max Miller, welcome to Pillow Talk with Allie Michelle. Thank you for being here. Um, But before we start, I do want to know you a little bit better before I dive deep into everything else. So can we just jump right into the personal questions? Yeah, let's do it. At least for me at this point, it's pretty easy to address. Well, who were you before anybody knew your name? Yeah, I'm an individual. I grew up in Shaker Heights with a very loving family. Grew up in a private school and went to Shaker Heights High School. And something that changed my life forever was actually when I was in the seventh grade and 9-11 happened. After 9-11 happened and my mom picked up my brother and I from school and she explained to us what happened, I felt in my gut that I needed to serve and wanted to be a United States Marine. And so even though, you know, went to college after college, I then enlisted as opposed to becoming an officer in the Marine Corps. Um, and you know, that gave me my left and right lateral limits on life, uh, and really taught me financial literacy, which I never learned in high school or in college. Um, but yeah, I mean, then, you know, I got right into politics. Um, the first person I started to ever work for was Senator Marco Rubio. Uh, I worked for him for, yeah, just about a year. And then I got a phone call from a guy named Corey Lewandowski, who asked if I wanted to go work for Mr. Trump in February, 2016. And, uh, yeah. And from there, you know, that's, uh, but that's the backstory pretty much. That call must've been intense. Um, so, okay. So you mentioned you were a Marine. So what's harder politics or being a Marine? That's the easiest question I'll ever get. Uh, politics is much harder. It's much harder emotionally. It's much harder physically. Um, But no, it is a full blood sport at this point within politics. And the sad thing is there are no more boundaries for anybody. So this continues to get worse and worse and worse. But at the end of the day, serving in this capacity, our country, is still a great honor. It's a different honor than serving in uniform. But I still get the opportunity to go in there every single day and to really help make people's lives better. So that's a neat way of service. I love that. Side note, I have a fly that snuck in my house and I just seen it flying across the screen. You're good. Apparently stopped working. Oh, well, uh, so let's just jump into the nitty gritty. If you don't mind talking about what you're currently working on the, um, tax relief for fraud victims act. Can you give us a little bit more insight of what that means and what that is? Yeah, absolutely. Uh, Everyone has known somebody pretty much or known of someone who has been affected by a phishing link or a spam alert or someone pretending to be their family member saying they need $ 500 and someone sending it to them. There's no recourse for that. And to add really insult to injury with all of this, the federal government then doubles down on it and then they don't help us out in terms of getting the money back. What this would actually do is it would allow those, and mostly people who are elderly and to have recourse to get their life savings back. And it's really sad. I mean, look, my parents, I don't think they're that old. They're both 71. But I can tell you that, look, to be very honest, and they would admit this as well, they struggle on cell phones. And they ask for my help and my brother a lot. And so if you think about people in their 80s and 90s, and there's a decent amount of them who are on these smartphones and emails and Maybe they don't have kids or anyone to take care of them. They're getting taken advantage of. And so it amounts to billions of dollars every year. And we're going to fix that with this bill that we introduced on September 16th. I love that. So when you said that 70-year-olds don't really, they have a hard time, so does my mom. But they are getting clever now. They're sending text messages that are pretending like, oh, I have the wrong number. I just had somebody say, oh, this is so-and-so. And I was like, I don't know you. Oh, but this is me and sent like a pretend picture and then like a link. So it's... Yeah, they'll go far out of their way. And sometimes some of these individuals will do their homework on the people. They'll just... Because everything's online, sadly. You can find out about your neighbors, your friends, anyone you want with just a simple Google search. So what would really change for those that money has been stolen? You said... Can you mention that again? I kind of missed. Yeah, there would be, there'd be recourse for them to get their money back. Um, not be, you know, essentially punished for doing nothing wrong other than being taken advantage of, you know, I, you know, some loser who would do this to somebody who just needs to get a job. But the federal government at this point does nothing to help. Um, and you know, that is where this is going to be fixed. Cool. I love that. Um, and you, uh, So I keep coming back because you mentioned 70, but I know it's probably maybe a little older there, different than that. But the bill that I've been researching a little bit more is to change the Medina VA clinic in honor of the Korean War veteran. First of all, amazing. But can you maybe break that down a little bit more? And why? What made you decide to do that? Of course. We have a really, really big national cemetery within our district. It's the Ohio Western Reserve National Cemetery. And this individual, Leland John Cotting, is one of the individuals who was there pretty much on day one to make sure that this place was up and running. He also served in the Army's 89th Airborne Battalion for a couple years during the Korean War. And he became a volunteer for the Ohio Western Reserve National Cemetery. And he dedicated, which is unbelievable, 5,000 hours, 5,500 hours to the cemetery. I mean, that is somebody who has, you know, taken their own personal time and given back to so many veterans and, you know, before they are laid into the ground. And it's just a beautiful thing. And so, you know, he has served our community for a very long time. And I thought this would be very fitting to you know, to really, you know, have one of our constituents who is a phenomenal individual be honored by this piece of legislation. Oh, I love that. My family owns and operates the flight school in Medina. So that kind of, you know, resonates a lot with us in particular. And I know Medina is a growing town or city per se, if you will. But yeah, but thank you for doing that. That's like amazing. So, yeah. Look, a lot of the things that, you know, members don't utilize that they should in Congress is, you know, really honoring our constituents. Because without you all, you know, we're not in the seat. And if we don't take care of you, which is our number one job, you know, and don't honor the people, you know, who we serve, you know, I think that, you know, it could be done better. So that's why we do one minute floor speeches for our constituents, whether you turn 100 or sadly pass away. or, you know, you win a state championship, everything in between. It's something that we really focus on. Nice. Um, I want to ask a personal question. Um, who shaped you right now? Like who shaped Max as the Congressman and then who shaped Max as Max? Uh, I would say that it would be more so, you know, strong parenting. Um, had some really great parents, you know, I had a, dad who is awesome, a mom who is incredible. I'm very blessed to have both of them still in my lives. As I got older, learned the discipline from the Marine Corps. But I would say when I got into politics, I really, really learned from Senator Rubio at the time. He was the first person. I saw and truly admired in the way that he was going about things and talking about the country. And I viewed him as a mentor and was his body guy for a little bit. So it was cool. But to this day, I would say that my voting record is a reflection of the constituency. And it really is modeled after what we have within the district, whether it's supporting Ukraine, which I know some people love and a lot of people do not. And that's OK. But we represent the. Largest Ukrainian constituency by any one Republican in Congress. And we're there for our people. The same I know it surprises people, but there's a reason why I voted to extend the ACA. And I think that is a very, very crappy piece of legislation. I want to be clear, but I don't believe. in pulling the rug out from somebody without providing a solution to the problem because it's only going to compound it. So, you know, I would really say overall, you know, my parents without question. And then later on in life, you know, the Marine Corps, Senator Rubio, But now at this juncture, I would say that, you know, it is completely shaped by the constituents and. My daughter at this point. Oh, yes. Did politics matter in your household? I know now with culture, it's kind of like family members aren't talking to each other. Friends aren't being friends. Like, how was your household? My household's good. But I will tell you that, you know, you have some people in families who, you know, sadly, I believe are just you know, invested in politics too emotionally. Well, I believe it's incredibly important. People can't separate, you know, their own personal emotions and feelings from policy and, you know, look at a family member. But in regards to growing up in my family, look, people were like looking at us like we were crazy. I grew up in Shaker. We were Jewish. We were raised Republican all the way through. Okay. And we were riding motorcycles. So we never really fit in over there to begin with, but yeah. I think fitting in is overrated anyway. Look, I'm much more comfortable on the West side. Really? I gotta tell you, and I'm not just saying this because I'm the legislator for the district. I absolutely loving living in Bay village. Really? I think, look, here's the thing. Crazy to me. Well, For me, it's, you know, I've got, so she's almost three and I got Huntington Beach. Like blocks away. Stunning beach, by the way. Yeah. And you know what's cool? They've got a full service bar. They've got food. They've got everything. And, you know, it's completely safe. You go down to the water. It's cool. So it's like a, it's kind of like an Edgewater, like how it used to be, like with the bar set up in the, oh, that's pretty neat. I haven't been down in a while. I grew up in Avon Lake. So Bay Village was like, but i love that i mean that's that's pretty that's cool that you're you know you you're so close and you still like thoroughly like love the town so i love that so um the uh apples to apples bill actually sounds like somebody finally gave a bill a normal name um but what does. It do So the Apple's Comparison Act of 2025, and it did. Pass out of the Ways and Means Committee. So what this. Does altogether is it allows seniors enhanced access to choices regarding Medicare services, and it gives them more comparisons throughout Medicare Advantage and traditional Medicare. And so to just sum it up, what this is going to do is it's just going to provide stability and benefits for our seniors. And that's what we need the most, especially if. You're a little bit older, and they also deserve more decisions at lower rates when it comes to healthcare. And that's exactly why we named it Apples to Apples, because we want to get everyone on the same page within our community and not beat up our seniors, you know, and waxing them as they have been doing for quite some time. Interesting. So is there a specific person that you thought about when you were kind of, were you the creator or, or, I don't know, the author of this bill per se, like, were you, what made you decide to maybe move into that? Yeah. So I'm not on the healthcare subcommittee on ways and means, but I care very much about it. It makes up 70%, excuse me, 76% of our mandatory spending budget. And when you look at some of the ways that we can be creative, I was trying to find a way to lower costs for seniors. And the key word that I, you know, continue to say is bring them stability. And so, you know, with a lot of the things going on, you know, the ACA subsidies not being extended, you know, I believe that this was the right thing to do to lower rates for our seniors who could really use. It right now. Yeah. That's like, it's very hard for me to understand right now, just because it's like, it's like a different language for me. I'm slowly learning about all of that system. You know, my mom's getting a little older. and she's self-employed. So it's kind of like, I don't know if those go hand in hand, but just trying to understand that it's going to take me a minute, but I'm going to get there. Medicare Advantage and traditional Medicare are different. You have a lot of people who like Medicare Advantage because they can get more options from it. Some say that it may not give you the best care. I respectfully would disagree with that. Traditional Medicare is when you just You know, you turn the proper age and you enroll in the traditional Medicare program. But what this would be able to do is it's going to take these two programs and it's going to apples to apples, make sure that the prices are consistent and lower them for our seniors. So it's a good thing all in all. But the health care is like and it really is a foreign language. It took me and it's still taking me. A very long time. But, you know, it's been almost two years of an education on it. Yeah. I'm my kids. We all switched to my husband's plan. And I, I'm going to be honest. I didn't even know what a deductible meant. So having to learn all of that was foreign language. I even tell the doctors, I'm like, I don't even know what this means. Like she's like, just pay 25 bucks. I'm like, okay, okay. I can do that. Sadly feel like there's most of us. It's embarrassing. You know, like there are many, many worse things that can take it out. So, okay, so you mentioned you live in Bay and you love the West. So that's going to bring me into the most controversial topic I think Ohio has right now is the data centers. Oh, yeah. What does that look like for Bay Village or anywhere, you know, around here? Yeah. So we got in front of this a while back when it came to data centers. And I know there have been a lot of Republicans out there who have. Been supporting it, but you know, when you look. At what Ohio has, you know, we already have more than 200 data centers and that, you know, can bring. I didn't know that. Yeah. And it's a, which is insane. How are they raise legitimate questions, you know, about energy and demand and usage. And this is one of the big problems I have with data centers and it's what Joe Biden did to our country. So he mandated that we should all be in EVs by 2030, which was asinine, right? Yeah. Right. But, He shifted the market on his own by his own party, but we didn't have the infrastructure set up within our country. So we essentially had all of these EVs, but no one had any way to charge them or use them. And so it ended up failing miserably. My concern is with data centers, we're doing the same thing right now, Allie. We don't have enough energy in our own country to support the American people. I mean, there's a reason why in. Tough states like California, they have rolling brownouts because they don't have enough energy to support what they have to sustain. And my concern is that utility prices would go up for our constituents. And once you put these data centers on farmland, what a lot of people don't realize is is that everything that goes down underneath it in terms of, let's say, the piping, the plumbing, everything else, that farmland no longer becomes fertile, right? It's now dead land. And so we also have to have a balance of manufacturing our food and crops, which we are not 100% independent on, but also moving forward in the AI fight with China. Now, I believe that there's a way to do it, But the way that they're going about it and talking to our constituents, which is that they're not and they're just buying up land and throwing this right across from China. Right. I mean, China's binding. Yeah. Yeah. OK. Yeah. You know, you know, look, all. These data centers in general, you have to ask yourself, you know, why are they so interested in getting other candidates in office? I mean, it's just continuously blows my mind. Our opponent got. over half a million dollars, and I think I'm low-balling it, from Anthropic, which is an AI data center company. And we have taken this stance before he got the money, but it doesn't surprise me because anytime you're a threat to a serious player like a data center, they're going to come after you. So for us, the people... We don't even have a say right now. Is that kind of like what we're like, what you are trying to do? I don't even know how they like. I didn't even know there was 200 in Ohio. So is there a way that we can have a say eventually? Or is that like is it like private business, I guess? So there's a House bill right now that's going through the state legislature that I believe is being led by state rep Davila, who people should vote for this November as well. As long as myself, please. But he has a bill. That is going to make sure that data centers are under control. And I believe that it would lock in utility prices. It would make sure that they would have to get voting approval from whatever city or municipality or village or township that they would be in. So there would be more godsend. Than just buying up a chunk of land and then getting permitting and throwing up a data center. And the thing with these. Data centers as well, and Senator Moreno actually made a really, you know, valid point. This was like six months ago. He called out a data center somewhere in Ohio that was being built for like 30 million or maybe even a lot more than that. But it was only creating 15 jobs. And the amount of land that it was taking over was insane. And to his point, he's like, is that juice worth the squeeze? And I got to tell you, I agree with him. It's not. So, yeah, I mean, people are very weary of them as they should be. It's probably one of the very few things Republicans and Democrats actually really agree on. So what I'm thinking about is the future. I mean, AI is inevitable, but like, how do we put safe guides, like safe guides around that? Is it the people who are saying it or, you know, people in government? How does, how does that work? Like, this is a very interesting topic for me. Yeah. I mean, look, there's a. Lot of talk right now about, you know, well, there's a difference. So data centers, they're connected. Data centers are important for the advancement of AI and they really are. And, you know, we do need to continue, you know, to put them up, establish them, but we have to do, we have to walk and chew gum at the same time, right? We have to make sure that we can develop these data centers and that we can make sure that they're not passing off their prices to us who live down the street and that our drinking water is going to be clean and that we don't have to worry about anything happening to our kids. Or us or anything else, right? If they give us those assurances and and people want to go ahead and allow them in, then I think that that's fine, right? But the way that they've been going about it, it's just been completely, you know, silly. It's, you know, they, you really got. To approach, you know, Ohioans in the right way, especially Cuyahoga County is different from Ashland. Ashland is different than Wayne. I mean, Madonna is different than all. I mean, so, you know. Yeah, yeah. Well, now that we were talking about the future, I want to back up a little bit to your, you passed, you've been through a lot this year. And how in the world have you, like, how have you dealt with it, not only as a congressman, but as a dad? Yeah, it's been incredibly challenging and tough. I have continued to push and continue to. Put the truth out there. But what keeps me grounded is the second part of your question is. You know, my daughter. And so I, you know, regardless of what anyone may think, um, I still get my daughter every other week and I have her right now. Um, she's downstairs playing and right after this call, uh, or sorry, interview, I'm going to probably go play magnet tiles with her for a couple hours, but really that's what keeps me grounded because the truth is so much different than the reality. Of the situation. And so, you know, every single day I realize how lucky I am. that I'm still honored to be a member of Congress, that I am still in this fight to win this election, and most importantly, have the cutest little bug in the world. And then I've got a couple of dogs. They're getting a little annoying now. I'm sure mine's going to start barking any minute when mine comes home. Yeah. So that is really what's kept me grounded. And then just not holding anything in, right? I know that sounds- you know, weird, but not try to get, you know, TMI, but you know, I'm very, very open person, um, have addressed, you know, everything. And, you know, people ask me questions and I answer them. Um, and I feel like that's, I don't think it's weird. I wanted to say that. I don't think it's weird. It's very human, which I think, which I think I write respect you a lot is because you are very personable and you are human and you just address it and you, you live your life as a dad and you're trying to balance it out. So I respect that. Damn. What's awesome is, you know, look, we work incredibly hard, but. I do get the flexibility to have days like this where, you know, I'll have a couple interviews, you know, and I'll go out to a couple events. In the community. But then for the rest of the day, I get to spend it with, you know, my daughter. I have two girls in my household now. So going from one boy to two girls that are preteens has been Good luck. That's a whole different world. Thank you. I heard. Although I did. Hear, we'll see that sometimes girls have a little bit warmer of a relationship with their father. So we'll see. I have a great one with my stepdad. So, you know, you said you're very open and honest and you mentioned that you love your job as a congressman. But I have a question because I'm very nosy. Is Congress weird behind the scenes? Well, kind of weird. I mean, here's the thing. Congress is very clicky. And the same people really hang out with the same people. Now, are there some individuals who do really silly things that they shouldn't? Sure. And what I mean by that, I'm not talking about illegal drugs. use of hard drugs or anything like that or nothing that would have anything to implicate anything with you know anything sexually but you know look people drink there from time to time um and when you're there for a midnight vote i look i don't drink because it makes me feel like crap in the morning um but yeah i mean that's like the i know it's boring um I don't know. The most exciting thing lately has just been TMZ on the Hill. They've been awesome. And I'm being facetious, but I do like working with this one guy, Charlie, but it's not as weird as people think it's more, they really dress it up more on the TV. You know, they, they paint this picture of all this animosity and then I'll go down to the house floor and I'll say, what's up to AOC. And she'll say, how's it going Max? I mean, But I do love that. Like, I do love that it's like that type of vibe, you know? Oh, here, I'll tell you a story. So this was about eight months ago. I'm down on the House floor with Mike Lawler. And we went to go see AOC. And I looked at her and I said, hey, I'd like to write you a check to run for the United States Senate. And she looked at me and she's like, you'd write me a check, Max? I was like, absolutely. I said, but you have to run against Chuckie Schumer. And she laughed and she said, well, why would you want me over Chuckie Schumer? And I said, because believe it or not, you're much better voting record for the United States. And our allies than he is. And I was like, I would rather see you in there than him. Very human. Wow. Could you have, who would have thought? I laughed. It was fine. But those interactions happen, you know, quite a bit. It just, you know, you all sadly don't get to see it, but it very much is a working environment that really isn't that hostile. I would say the hostile committees, I'm not on thankfully, but those would be like judiciary, oversight, and homeland can be tough right now. Do you ever walk in and think like, this is my life right now? I'm walking into my house, I'm walking into the house. Do you ever think like, this is life? It's awesome. I mean, every day is an honor. And the sad thing is, is that you see people who are up there all. The time who don't appreciate, you know, that only 12,000 individuals have ever been elected to Congress period since the start of our country. Right. It puts into perspective, you know, and so I always view every day, you know, as an honor and a privilege. And, you know, because it's tomorrow's never guaranteed and you never know what can happen. Do you see yourself as a lifer in Congress? No, ma'am. I got a question. I got I got asked that question last night at GOP. And I said, no, I said, I'm 37. You know, if I get reelected, it would be my third term. And what I would like to do is I would like to make sure that we can accomplish a few more. Things for the district. And I'd be happy to move on, you know, and I feel like that could be in, you know, two terms or three terms at most, but nothing more than that. And, you know, I may not run for anything else. You know, I really like. Being in the house and the contributions we make locally. And then, you know, I would like to move on and, you know, have a much more, you know, stable life being a member. Sometimes it can be very challenging. You know, you're away from your family, you're away from your kids, things like that. But yeah, I would say, you know, that would. Be my timeline. I'm not like over here, like some people planning out like, oh, I'm going to run for governor. And then after that, I'm going to run for president. Like, I keep my head down. And if an opportunity presents itself, I'm like, yeah, I'll do it or no. It's a bad idea. But I do want to thank you. I feel like, you know, being in public office like that, it's a very thankless job. But you breaking it down and saying how much time you were, you know, you're sad missing out on your family. Like, I really do thank you for what you're doing for Ohio and dedicating your time into our state. It, it, it truly means a lot to me as a little Abel Lake girl who grew up there, you know? Um, so thank you for that. Um, it's, I can tell you another funny story if you want real quick. Sure. General Jack Bergman, who's a Republican. Out of Michigan, um, He's a general in the Marine Corps during the Vietnam War, and he flew helicopters. And the only time I missed an evening with our daughter was just one time. And I was about to. Go home and get in the car to go get her so I wouldn't be late and miss this vote. And it was an important vote. And the general looked at me and he said, son, do you know where I was at your age? And I was like, no, sir. He said, I was in Vietnam for over two years and I was like, yes, sir. And he's like, I got three kids. I was like, understood. He's like, and look. Your kids always come first, but I know that, you know, his kids now know. That his, that their dad did that for them. Right. And for the country and in regards, he had a different perspective on it that he explained it to me. And so, yeah. But those are, you know, Some of the tough decisions, what sucks is you'll see one of your best friends like have their kids dance recital or a play and they can't be there because it's on a Tuesday or Wednesday and they're in D.C. And it stinks. So, yeah, I know. I mean, but life is life. And I always try to explain to my kids, like, I got to do what I got to do, you know. Oh, yeah. You know, do everything you can. Yeah. But before we wrap it up, I do this thing called the lightning round. So I'm going to ask you a series of questions. You give me one to two word answers, okay? Oh boy, one to two words? Yeah. You would think that would be. Easy for me. What is your guilty pleasure food? Penn Station subs. What song do you know everywhere to? Forgot about Dre. What are you embarrassingly bad at? Oh, pickleball. I've never played that. I won't play it. I look like an idiot. I can't. So, no way. Dogs or cats? Dr. Cats? Dogs or cats? Oh, dogs or cats. Sorry. Dogs. Dogs. Best food in Ohio? Best food in Ohio. Man. There's a lot of good spots. I'm just trying to think of the one. I mean, you're going to be surprised by this, but one of the spots that I go to all the time, and I'm not just saying this to say it, but it's become a staple, is Tony's Family's Restaurant in Parma, Ohio. I've been going there with Kevin Kuzma. I know. I'm trying to think where that's at. I'm playing in my brain. Parma. But they have a really, really good cinnamon French toast, and they do a really nice job with everything, and it's very affordable. But I really like– I mean, but look, I mean, you know, if you want to go out to a nice place that's fun, I think it's called STK in Tremont. It's a fun steak place. It's not overly expensive where you have bottomless waffle fries, and they have this, like, peanut butter and bacon jelly sandwich. That's– That's my language. Do members of Congress have a group chat? Oh, yeah. And by the way, so does the administration. Remember that? What does your staff constantly remind you to do? Go to my meetings and keep me on time. You know, what's awfully hysterical and a bit ironic is that I was the director of advance for President of the United States. Which means that my entire job was making sure that the trains were running on time. Now. It's completely reversed. Um, they, they make sure that I am where I need to be all the time. Um, yeah, there is no, there is no personal space. Who is the funniest person, you know, funniest. Person I know is God has got to be a member out of New York, Andrew Garbarino. He's the chairman of the Homeland Security Committee. And he is one of the funniest guys you'll ever meet. Um, You know, the first time I met him, he's got this thick, and when I mean thick, thick New York accent. And he's just like, yeah. And he's like, and the first time I met him, he's like, hey, go F yourself. And I was like. I love New York accents and a Maine accent. Those are like top tier to me. He was like, you know, he's. Like, yeah, that means I love you. Come here. I was like, okay. He's a real. He's a really funny guy. And I got to tell you, in Congress, he's probably the funniest one besides Dr. Greg Murphy out of North Carolina, who's a urologist who's got a lot of funny jokes. I bet. When all this is, this is my last question. When all this is over Congress politics, how do you hope the people who actually knew you described you? Someone who followed through with their word in terms of what they promised the community. And, you know, hopefully they would look at me as someone that they can respect and did a really great job. You know, I'm proud that. We've been able to bring home more than $ 50 million for critical infrastructure and police and fire back to the 7th. Even two new fire stations down in Wayne County, which is awesome. We've been able to return more than $ 25 million, you know, of money from the IRS to our constituents. You know, those are the things, you know, that I want people to remember us for. And the fact that, you know, we continue to give back. I gave 25% of my salary back last term to two separate technical educational schools. Both $ 43, 800 a piece. So your own tax dollars went back to our community this year because my legal bills are so high. We were very grateful. Oh, I know. Yeah. We're very grateful. And we had a benefactor come in and donate $ 100, 000 to the Wayne County Career Center to help them with everything they have going in their firefighter program. My son wants to go into the firefighter program in CBCC. Oh, nice. That's awesome. Yeah, they've got a great program. Yeah. Very hard to get into. So getting on top of like a 15 year old's attitude is. But before I let you go, can you let people know where they can find you, follow you, email you or all that good stuff? Yeah, absolutely. So at Max Miller OH is our Twitter handle or X handle now, I believe. And really, you know, our Facebook, just type in Max Miller for Congress. You'll see two pages there. You'll see one political page and you'll see an official page. And, you know, our district offices that are up and running, if anyone needs anything, there's one in Medina, which is there on public square connected to the courthouse. And then we have one in Parma. Which is connected to a recreational center where you sign your kids up for sports. So, but yeah, I mean, if there's any way people want to reach out, they can get in contact with us and be happy to help. Well, thank you so much. It's been a A very, very big honor that you made time to come on here. So thank you. This was awesome. If you guys want to do this, we should do it after we win in November. It'll be good. Amen.
