So Tennessee is is unique. There's no other state that does it the way we do. In Tennessee, the Supreme Court picks the attorney general. And so in in most states, it's elected. It's a statewide election, very competitive. In the other states, either the governor or the legislature make the appointment, and it's a highly political process. I mean, if it's the governor, you know, the governor picks the lawyer they like the best and if it's the legislature, there's there's a lot of, you know, tap dancing. Here, the court picks the AG. So we've got a 5 member court. You need 3 votes to get in. It's an 8 year term.
