Dear Friends,

Happy Independence Day! ๐บ๐ธ๐๐บ๐ธ
As we come together to celebrate July 4th, it's important to reflect on the roots of this pivotal day and what it truly stands for. Independence Day marks the adoption of the Declaration of Independence in 1776, a momentous occasion that enshrined the values of liberty, equality, and the pursuit of happiness. These are the bedrock principles of our democracy, and they resonate deeply with all of us, regardless of our backgrounds.
ย
July 4th is more than just a day of fireworks and barbecues. It is a day to celebrate the hard-won freedoms that allow us to express ourselves, gather with loved ones, and engage in the democratic process. This celebration is a testament to our collective strength and commitment to the ideals that unite us as a nation. It is a day to honor the sacrifices made by countless individuals who have fought for our rights and freedoms, from the early patriots to the civil rights activists who paved the way for a more inclusive society.
ย
As we light up the sky with fireworks and fill the air with laughter and joy, let us remember that our democracy thrives when we participate with the right intentions. At a time when democracy can feel unsteady for many, it is crucial to celebrate with a renewed commitment to maintaining and strengthening it. We must ensure that every voice is heard, every vote is counted, and every individual is treated with dignity and respect.
ย
In Orange County, I am committed to bringing these values to the forefront. As your representative, I will work tirelessly to protect our individual freedoms and promote equality for all. I will advocate for policies that ensure everyone can enjoy the same rights and opportunities. My vision is to create a community where everyone feels valued and empowered to contribute to our shared future.
ย
Let's take a moment to reflect on a significant historical event: On July 4, 1827, New York abolished slavery, marking a pivotal step towards freedom and equality. This day is a reminder of our ongoing journey towards a more just and inclusive society. It reminds us that the fight for freedom and equality is far from over and that we must continue to strive for a better future for all.
ย
As we celebrate this Independence Day, let us do so with a spirit of unity and positivity. Let us come together to honor our democracy and the principles that make our nation great. Most importantly, let us commit to working towards a future where liberty and justice truly exist for all.
ย
Wishing you a safe and joyous Fourth of July. Let's celebrate with intention and purpose, ensuring that our democracy remains strong and vibrant for generations to come.

Warm regards,
