Serving the Hudson Valley
January 2024
Hi team —
I hope you and your family are doing well, especially during the brutally cold winter weather here in the Hudson Valley. Stay safe and warm, and keep up to date on local weather conditions to make sure you are prepared for snow storms and high winds.
Read on to learn more about what my team and I have been working on to serve the Hudson Valley. It’s a new year, and I’m excited about what we have in store!
Yours in service,
Pat

Last month, my son Theo and I participated in the Wreaths Across America program. As a veteran, participating in this ceremony was deeply personal. As a community, we remember the Fallen, honor those who served and their families, and teach the next generation the value of freedom.
Ending Sports Blackouts

Although my favorite football team, the New York Giants, did not make it to the NFL playoffs, I’m still tuning in to watch the games. But like far too many households in New York and across the country, I couldn’t tune in to the Chiefs-Dolphins game the other night without spending even more money on streaming services.
I am fed up with the greed of the NFL Commissioner and the sports broadcasting companies charging loyal fans extra to watch their teams play. People who pay their TV bills should be able to watch the game on NBC without paying for an extra add-on service. It’s ridiculous.
If you’re tired of these sports blackouts caused by the greed of sports commissioners and mega-corporation broadcasters, join me in calling for these unfair, deceptive practices to end. [[link removed]]
