As we approach the Thanksgiving holiday, I have been reflecting on my gratitude for being an American citizen and having the honor of representing you in Congress. The great American experiment in democracy means we as citizens have the right to peacefully make our voices heard through the ballot box, and for that, I am grateful.
I hope you are able to gather with loved ones this holiday season for good food and conversation.
Best wishes for a wonderful Thanksgiving!
I am hosting a Veterans Town Hall and Resource Fair this Friday, November 22nd from 1:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. at the Center for Community Arts Auditorium in Walnut Creek.
From 1:00 to 2:00 p.m., I'll provide an update on my efforts in Congress to pass legislation that supports veterans and take your questions. Following that, federal and local agencies and veteran service organizations will share resources on accessing the benefits veterans have earned from 2:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m.
In commemoration of Veterans Day, our team and I joined community events throughout our district to recognize the men and women who bravely fought for our country and upheld the values we cherish.
On the eve of Election Day, I encourage you one last time to make your voice heard through our democratic process. I am reminded of the great Supreme Court Justice Louis Brandeis who said that the most important title in our country is that of citizen. As fellow citizens, I hope you will join me in exercising your right to vote.
