So as you mentioned, when I was college graduate. I just graduated from college, and this was way back in 1977 and my first job out of college was as a VISTA volunteer, which meant basically, didn't make much money, but I was given a position as a chapter director of a nursing home patient advocacy organization. Now this was already set up as a statewide organization, and I was there to set up a chapter in Grand Rapids, Michigan, so I had the support of, you know, statewide staff, and I was trained by and connected to a Michigan State ombudsman for long term care. So that was a very valuable experience. It was very challenging, but what I did was I learned how to be an advocate for people who can't speak up for themselves, nursing home patients. I learned a lot about testifying before legislature, doing PR training, volunteers, working with the community. So then fast forward quite a few years when I found myself in the position of being a survivor, advocate of a tragedy. Then after a few years of discouraging and frustrating lack of progress, all of a sudden, one day it hit me, this could be the missing piece, an ombudsman, somebody that is there to be a resource to help people who are in that position, train them, equip them, bring them together. So an ombudsman is a term that isn't commonly used. So eventually we changed it to be national roadway safety advocate. So for quite a few years, I kept promoting that idea, pushing that idea, hoping that somebody would catch the vision, until in 2022 I was sitting down and meeting with Senator Luhan, and he sat there and he said, you know, that could work. That could work because he has interest in in roadway safety, and he's recognized the frustrations of delays that happen like in NHTSA, which is the National Traffic Highway Safety Administration. It's a, you know, a federal safety agency, but too often, doesn't really enable people like myself to help bring about effective change. So he put his staff to work on it, and worked on taking my rudimentary language and developed a legislation called the D O T victim and survivor advocate Act, which was introduced in 2024 and then again in 2025 so I'm, I'm very hopeful that this is something that could actually become reality, that could be a position within the Department of Transportation, to be somebody that'll go to bat for people like myself,
