I can personally attest to her character and her leadership. I've worked with her hand in hand in multiple departments that she worked in. I remember the first time I met her back when she was with the Office of Public Safety. She has a breadth of experience that will really be critical to an organization such as this in a commission such as this, that needs the background and understanding of local government and the requirements. And she brings that to the table. So I'm really pleased with this appointment and strongly encourage my colleagues to support. And Margot, we're very excited to have you on board.
