Yes to hiring Jamal! I have loved every minute of working with him. I've already seen him go above and beyond, giving his all and fully investing himself in succeeding at every challenge we've thrown at him.
The offer to raise his own pay is extremely generous, and this may be the best and last opportunity we ever get to secure this level of talent.
To clarify, he does not favor People's Programs over any other proposal. He's expressed nothing but neutrality on the issue, and will respect whatever decision the delegates make.
