17:23 have been consistent over the last three years and will remain the same in my upcoming term. And that is housing affordability, specifically protecting existing affordable housing, as well as creating new supply of affordable housing. Additional housing choices that folks can see will fit their own specific family and their needs. And working to create more supply to reduce the cost of housing in our community. It's behavioral health, public safety, which is behavioral health, quality of life issues, and of course, making sure that our law and justice system is appropriately funded and fully functional in protecting all of our citizens in the county. Third is quality of life. We need clean water. Our environment needs to be clean, taken care of,

I'm all for more housing choices, ADUs, infill, smaller lots, things that create the ability for people to be able to afford a home. We need to improve our permitting process. There's no question about that. We've made significant strides but have more work to do. I also worked on helping an affordable senior housing project in Felida come to fruition. It was stalled, and through my work, we were able to get it moving forward again. Home ownership needs to be a focus and smart growth with infrastructure. There's never any one single solution

20:22 that will solve all of our problems, but it's having a balanced approach and knowing where the priorities need to be. How would you rate the county's response to the impacts of homelessness, and what changes would you recommend? Homelessness, without question, is a very complex issue. There is not a single solution. In fact, the path back to housing is going to vary from every individual who is currently
