00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:07.400
I can tell a story on a, a colleague of mine who was running for the other body.

2
00:00:07.400 --> 00:00:20.200
And the three of us got her in the back and told her that she couldn't possibly run in a polyester pantsuit. She had to upgrade. And,

3
00:00:22.400 --> 00:00:24.200
she said, "Well, what do you mean?" 

4
00:00:24.200 --> 00:00:32.700
I said, "Well, you got to go get some shoes. You can't run in Docksiders. I mean, you know, you're going to the United States Senate."

5
00:00:32.700 --> 00:00:40.300
So, she comes back and then puts a foot up and says, "Look at this shoe." I said, "Yes?" 

6
00:00:40.300 --> 00:00:44.100
She says, "It's Ferragamo." I said, "I know."

7
00:00:44.100 --> 00:00:47.000
She said, "Do you know what it costs?" I said, "Mm-hmm." 

8
00:00:47.000 --> 00:00:53.700
"My mother could have bought a suit, a hat, pocketbook, and coat for what I paid for these shoes." 

9
00:00:53.700 --> 00:00:57.900
I said, "Mm-hmm. But your mother wasn't running for United States Senate." 

10
00:00:57.900 --> 00:01:10.000
So yes, there's a dress code, but there's also, it's also changed. It's like I said earlier. My mother-in-law, when she ran for Congress the first time, 

11
00:01:10.000 --> 00:01:22.000
she campaigned in, in a black veil and black because she was the new widow, mother of five children. So, it, it's changed.
