I feel like we have been very transparent in a lot of different ways, when our doctor has already given a letter saying that I’m able to serve and to be running. And then I think there’s – you can’t be any more transparent than standing up on a stage with 3,000 people and having a speech without a teleprompter and just being – and putting everything and yourself out there like that. I think that’s as transparent as everyone in Pennsylvania can see.
