John,

While we take time today to cherish family and loved ones, I wanted to take a moment to extend my thoughts and warm wishes to you.

This Christmas will be a difficult one for many Kentuckians with so many communities hit hard by devastating tornadoes. I want every single Kentuckian impacted by these storms to know we are there for them and will be in the days and years to come as we rebuild together.

And as COVID-19 continues to surge through our communities, it's more important than ever that we do everything we can to protect ourselves and our neighbors, slow the spread, and stay safe.

I am grateful to each of you for being on this team and for the brave and generous folks who are supporting our Western Kentucky neighbors as we recover and rebuild. If I've learned anything from my time in Frankfort working with Kentuckians across our commonwealth, it's that we will get through this. We will get through this together.

Merry Christmas,

Andy
