My heart is so full right now. Between the time with loved ones in recent weeks and our historic victories in the 2022 election, I'm overwhelmed with gratitude.
Here's the thing: When we make progress in the Senate, it isn't about scoring political points or besting Republicans. It's about the real Americans who will live better lives as a result.
It's the LGBTQ+ couples who can breathe easier as they kiss this New Year's Eve. It's the seniors in New York who don't have to choose between keeping the heat on or paying for prescription drugs.
Maybe the holiday season is just getting me sentimental. But I swear, thinking about the things we've made possible brings a tear to my eye. And I'm hoping you'll help me make even more progress possible in 2023.
