 Dear Neighbors,
Please note that I will not be hosting my usual "Coffee & Conversation" meeting this Friday, November 14th.
I will be attending the House Capital Investment Committee tour in our district, which is a fantastic opportunity to showcase our local needs and priorities.
I look forward to resuming our regular meeting next Friday, November 21st, at Flava Cafe. I sincerely hope to see you there!
Thank you for continuing to connect with me and making your voices heard—it is truly the greatest and best aspect of my job as your State Representative.
