Dear Neighbor,
Although the coronavirus has caused great hardship this spring for public health and the economy, there is cause for optimism. Social distancing has kept our infection rate low, allowing us to begin reopening our state. I’m confident that as the summer approaches, the outlook will continue to brighten, and we will get back on track.
Another hopeful development is the 2020 Census. Our district exceeded the statewide average for responding to this important headcount that decides our funding from the federal government and congressional representation. Bravo!
Finally, this month we celebrate Memorial Day, honoring American military veterans who made the ultimate sacrifice in defense of freedom. Please keep these brave men and women in mind throughout the year.
