Friends,

To me, Ramadan means fasting and prayer. Charity and forgiveness. Reflection and renewal.

I look forward to taking stock of each and every blessing I have received, and reflecting on how I can make the world a brighter place for everyone through service and leadership.

To all of my Muslim brothers and sisters in Minnesota and around the world, I hope you are able to spend time with your family and loved ones during this holy month.

Ramadan Mubarak,

Ilhan
