Hi there, it's been a tough year, and many of us are celebrating the holidays alone or without our extended families. That's not easy.

But, now more than ever, this is a time when we can show our care for those around us by wearing masks, helping our neighbors, and thinking of those in need. In that way, the holidays are more present than ever.

While these holidays may be difficult, it's also important to keep in mind that we're on the precipice of defeating this virus, and our next holiday season won't look like this one. 

So, I hope you are able to take some time this holiday season to think about all of those who have lost loved ones this year and to do your part to slow the spread of coronavirus. I also hope you'll celebrate the New Year by welcoming in 2021 and anticipating the changes to come.

Here's to a New Year filled with hope and new beginnings for us all. 

With gratitude,

-- Harley

Harley Rouda serves California's 48th district in Congress. In 2018, Harley defeated the 30-year incumbent Dana Rohrabacher in the very first political campaign of Harley's life. During his time in Congress, he's embraced common sense and values to tackle climate change, address deteriorating infrastructure, confront homelessness, and protect Social Security and Medicare. In 2022, Harley will be facing one of the toughest fights in the entire country, so he's depending on the support of grassroots individuals.
