Hi there, I wanted to wish you a happy holiday season!

This is one of my favorite times of the year — there is nothing better than spending time with family and friends, enjoying chilly weather outside and warm drinks inside, and watching lots of football.

I also love seeing how excited my sons, Theo and Cameron, are about holiday lights and festivals. Cameron is a little too young to understand what is going on, but Theo has a long Christmas wish list — mainly asking Santa Claus for another toy excavator (even though he already has four!).

After an exhilarating few months of campaigning and working as a newly-elected member of Congress, I’m happy to be at home in the Hudson Valley with my family.

I’m wishing you and your loved ones a joyous, restful holiday season. I am grateful for all of your support and kindness over the past year — it’s been a whirlwind, and I could not have done it all without you.

Happy holidays!

— Pat
