Hey there,

As I look back on this year, I am hopeful.

I'm hopeful because voters (81,283,485 of them!) chose a positive vision over a negative one. I'm hopeful because not even a pandemic could stop the American people from fighting for justice, accountability, and equality. And I'm hopeful because Americans from all walks of life continually did what they could to lend a helping hand to their neighbors as we faced this crisis together.

Now, with 2020 nearly behind us, the new year is our chance. Together, we can hit the ground running to bridge the partisan divide, fight for our values, and put working people over politics.

It's going to take time to rebuild our country. Whether it's securing additional COVID-19 relief, taking big money out of politics, expanding affordable health care, shoring up civil rights and liberties, or combating climate change – we need leaders to do their part.

I have no illusions about the challenges ahead, and that's why I won't waste a single moment when the soul of our nation is on the line. If, like me, you're ready to revitalize and reinvigorate our economy in the coming months together, please chip in what you can before our end-of-year deadline tonight to help us start the 117th Congress strong: [link removed]

I am pushing for bipartisan solutions that work for working people because history shows us that we solve problems best when we solve them together. But as I've said before, I can't do this work alone and will be leaning on this grassroots team as we move forward.

I'm so grateful and honored to be re-elected to serve our region. We made history in 2020, but I am hopeful we will keep making history – and progress – these next two years. If you're still with me in the work to bring more economic opportunity to more people in more places, chip in what you can before tonight's final deadline » [link removed]

Please stay safe and have a Happy New Year. As always, it's an honor to represent you,

Derek
