It would have been easier to have a male protagonist, but I didn't want people to assume that Nikki Hill was me in her entirety because a lot of people just don't like me and I don't think they would be interested in reading about me, even in the fictional context.
I have a proven record as an effective legislator, which I believe is my greatest asset.
Though I have no productive worth, I have a certain value as an indestructible quantity.
