Dear John,


I am honored to invite Richard Valdez as my guest to this year’s State of the Union, the annual message delivered by the President to a Joint Session of Congress at the United States Capitol. 

Richard is a constituent, a retired Corporal in the U.S. Marine Corps, and a fierce advocate for veterans and their families. Learn more about Richard and his incredible work in the video below! 
President Biden will give his address tonight, February 7, 2023, at 9:00 PM Eastern Standard Time. Tune in at home to watch along with Richard and me!
Sincerely,



Mark Takano
Member of Congress
