Happy New Year. 

It’s important to recognize the challenges ahead, but I also want to take a moment to acknowledge the good things we accomplished this year. That’s what this work is all about, and it’s proof that it makes a difference.

• We funded emergency response in Hawaii and across the country and fixed a 50-year gap in Social Security payments.


• We introduced measures to extend access to telehealth care, protect and expand Social Security, strengthen health care for seniors, and protect IVF and women’s health care choices.


• We made meaningful investments to reduce emissions, improve energy efficiency, lower people’s energy costs, strengthen our climate and disaster resilience, add new electric buses and transit, and build more housing.


• We confirmed hundreds of lifetime appointments to federal benches across the country.

These are all things that make a real difference in people’s everyday lives, and I appreciate everything you’ve done to help make those wins possible. They’re no small thing. 

In the coming year, we will have to pick our spots when and where we can advance the issues and policies we care about. We must fight against the worst impulses of the incoming Trump administration and Republican majorities in Congress. But we can’t give up.

As we wrap up the year and approach the final FEC deadline of 2024, I hope you’re committed to continuing our work together. Any amount you can contribute before the deadline helps us strategize, organize, and rebuild so we can hit the ground running in 2025 and fight for what we believe in.
