Music Ryan, three days of intensive discussions are behind us in our Lapse of Democracy in 2022. You are from the beautiful state of West Virginia. We talked about energy issues a lot. Tell me a little bit why you participated and what is on your mind and your legislative agenda. Not just three days. We had a whole week in Germany as well. It's been two full weeks essentially of really learning a lot from my colleagues both around the United States and Germany as well. I wanted to be a part of this program because I thought it was important to learn from others who might be from a completely different region of the United States but also from a completely different country when it comes to my German colleagues. But also I wanted to talk about and bring to the table what West Virginia is and what West Virginia has to offer. I think that our energy producing state, my district in particular, has the top producing coal county as well as natural gas. We play a pretty integral role when it comes to the delivery of fuel for producing energy. I wanted to talk about West Virginia's history and we've had our struggles when it comes to some of the areas of the state and what it used to be and what it is now. I wanted to impart upon my colleagues that and the struggles that we have faced but also what our future looks like that we believe. It was very interesting to hear from them what they thought that a place like West Virginia could play. What the role West Virginia could play in the future and the changing economy that we have in West Virginia isn't just about those two things though and I think that's something else that I wanted to impart to my colleagues. Two weeks ago we had an announcement in my district. There's an electric boat that's actually from the state of Washington is going to open up a large manufacturing facility in each bottom of West Virginia. In Charleston recently there was an announcement of an electric bus company that is opening to the manufacturer. The vehicle is there. West Virginia is very important for everyone to know. It isn't just a one-trick pony. We have a very large part of our economy that is centered around the energy producing elements but also there are many other things that we've been able to claim as a victory in West Virginia's road back to prosperity. So I wanted everybody to know about that. This is a transatlantic project bringing together German legislators and US legislators. Why transatlantic? Because to me I think coming from my military background and working when I was deployed in Afghanistan when I was stationed in Germany I worked a lot with partners from other countries, NATO partners, mostly were in NATO at the time. I enjoyed that. I enjoyed learning from a different perspective. That was part of what attracted me to this program as well. It was my background in working with military members from different countries and seeing that collaboration, exchange of ideas and thought this would be a great platform for that as well. When a German would visit you in your district at home what would you show him or her? I would show them so we are located directly on the high river. So we have a very beautiful river front in the town that I live in. We could go boating. There are plenty of parks around where I live, zip lines. There's a lot to do. There's a lot of outdoor activities. That's what West Virginia really is known for. So West Virginia is not a big state. So we could travel around a lot of the state as well and show them different areas and everything that the state has. So I put that invitation out and I'm hopeful that everybody takes me up on that offer. We were certainly do so. Thank you so very much. Thank you.
