00:00If elected, you would become the first Black woman to represent the great state of Maryland in the Senate.
00:07This is a major moment for you. You got to make that speech tonight.
00:10What did that mean to you? Tell me how you were feeling.
00:13And just to be in that moment and be able to share that with this national audience.
00:17Oh, my God. It was a huge moment.
00:19You know, the first line of the speech said, people like me don't make it to the Senate, but we should.
00:27And that was really representative, not just of me, but all of the people like me.
00:32So many women, women of color, you know, recognizing that we've only elected two to the Senate and only had three serve so far.
00:41And so it was a joy to go out on that stage and to represent so many people whose voices, I believe, have been underrepresented or unrepresented in the Senate.
00:50And it was a great moment.
