Dear John

As we are now a few weeks into November, I think it is important to give you an update on this eventful month. While the biggest headline continues to be the recent election, there is also a personal update I'd like to share.

You may have read or heard on the news recently that I have spent this past week in quarantine after being in close contact with a friend who tested positive for COVID-19. Although my initial COVID test came back negative and I had no symptoms, it was at the recommendation of the House of Representatives Attending Physician that I didn't travel back to Washington for the week of in-session work. While this was disappointing news, I knew that staying in quarantine was the right call so that I could keep my colleagues and staff safe. With that said, as of this morning (Tuesday) I am now out of quarantine. So, I will be able to return to work when Congress goes back into session next week.

2020 Election

As I mentioned at the start, this recent election continues to make headlines three weeks later. Monday, President Trump allowed the General Services Administration to allow the Biden team access to transition funds. However, the President says he will continue to make sure that every legal vote cast in this election is counted and that every illegal vote is cast asside. This is not only a reasonable approach, but the integrity of our election process demands such scrutiny.

I would also like to take a moment to thank you for sending me back to Washington, D.C. to serve as your Representative for Alabama's 4^th Congressional District. It is an incredible honor to serve you in Congress, and it is a responsibility I do not take lightly. And no matter how you voted in this election, I promise to fight for you, and for everyone in our district, in the halls of Congress.

National Adoption Month

As an unapologetic Pro-Life advocate, I have always fought to protect the most vulnerable among us. It has been a top priority of mine since I was first elected, and it is something I take very seriously. That's why I was proud to sponsor legislation in Congress reaffirming November as National Adoption Month.

This resolution promotes national awareness of adoption, celebrates children and families involved in adoption, and encourages the people of the United States to secure safety, permanency, and well-being for all children. To me, supporting adoption is a no-brainer, and I am pleased that 40 of my colleagues from both sides of the aisle have joined so far as co-sponsors of this resolution.

Thanksgiving 2020

On a final note, I want to wish you and your loved ones a Happy Thanksgiving! I hope Thursday is filled with a lot of laughter and gratitude, and that you can share it with friends and family. And while we continue to navigate this Coronavirus pandemic, please stay safe this holiday season - and join me in being thankful for this wonderful district we get to call home.

Sincerely,

Robert B. Aderholt
