Hi John,

Welcome to my team’s monthly newsletter of what I’ve been up to this month, so you can be in the loop about the great work happening.

I know life can be busy, and your inbox can get filled up with political emails, so I appreciate any time you can dedicate to reading this newsletter each month.

Thanks!
