Dear Friends and Neighbors,

As we celebrate Christmas, we pause to recognize the true meaning of the season: the birth of Jesus Christ. Christmas is a time of faith and reflection, and a reminder of the importance of serving others, caring for our neighbors, and holding fast to the values that matter most.

This season is also a reminder of the importance of gratitude and generosity. I am thankful for the people I represent and for the opportunity to serve our region in St. Paul. I do not take that responsibility lightly, and I remain committed to standing up for our communities, our values, and the people who work hard every day to provide for their families.

Looking ahead to the New Year, I hope it brings calm, clarity, and time to focus on what matters most. The start of a new year is a chance to reflect on what matters most and to look forward with hope. May the year ahead give you time to slow down, enjoy meaningful moments, and spend time with the people who matter most to you.

I hope this holiday season brings you time with family, moments of reflection, and renewed hope for the year ahead. From my family to yours, I wish you a blessed Christmas and a safe and happy New Year.
