She has a degree in law.<\/p>\n<p>So you can see that we have four competent, four capable candidates. I&#8217;ll make the point here about Maria, too. In the first term, they were beating us that we did not achieve the 500 homes.<\/p>\n<p>Do you recall that? Yes. You know that we got over 1000 homes. She has taken it off the table completely.<\/p>\n<p>When we speak about the housing revolution, I mean, we don&#8217;t give it a credit, but to be told she&#8217;d be given a significant amount of credit because she has taken chapter national housing to another level.<\/p>\n<p>National housing and chapel are now producing up to 2000 passes of land per year. Prior to Maria taking over, we were struggling to get a few hundred.<\/p>\n<p>So to tell you, she has really buckled down significantly and would have learned a lot. I think she has grown at her job and she has performed.<\/p>\n<p>So I have no doubt that the people of rural east will return her.
