John,

I want to take a moment to wish you and your family warm and happy holidays.

This time of year offers an opportunity to reflect on the values that bring us together—gratitude, service, and care for one another.

I am deeply thankful for the people of our community and for the privilege of representing you. Your voices, ideas, and dedication to making our region stronger continue to inspire my work every day.

Wishing you joy this holiday season and all the best in the year ahead.
“Let us disarm words and we will help disarm the world. Disarmed and disarming communication allows us to share a different view of the world and to act in a manner consistent with our human dignity.”

- Pope Leo XIV
Peace on Earth and goodwill to all,

Joe, Audrey, Bobby, and Elizabeth Courtney
