I only have a short time left.
I don't have any questions for you at this time, Ms. Cooke, but I just want to thank you for being here, first and foremost, and for sharing what you did. We cannot talk about law and laws in the abstract without hearing about the very real people affected by them. The testimony that you shared is a very real part of our consideration on this bill. I just want you to know—and I think I speak for all members of this committee—how appreciative we are and how much we admire your courage in speaking about something that I know is very fresh.
With that, thank you.
