John,

As we head out of this Labor Day weekend, I wanted to provide you with a little behind-the-scenes video from the convention.

The speakers were compelling. Our nominees, Vice President Harris and Governor Walz, spoke strongly and earnestly about who they are, what they have done in service to our country, and the policies they intend to pursue. Amid the policy discussions, the clear-eyed assessment of the challenges ahead, and the stories told by our fellow Americans, there was one fun element that didn’t get enough news coverage – the never-ending balloon drop!

So, while you likely followed closely on any one of the major networks, here is a behind-the-scenes video!

I hope it brings you a bit of . . . . yes, joy!
