I hope everyone is staying warm this week. This one was certainly one of the colder ones that we have had so far this season. I just want to remind everyone too that should you be in need of utility assistance or think you might qualify, my staff is readily available to assist.
On Monday, four of my own bills had a hearing before the Joint Committee on Public Safety and Homeland Security, related to improving our commonwealth’s public safety systems and supporting our law enforcement officers. This is the just the start of the legislative process and I’m looking forward to continuing to advocate for these bills in the new year.
After the hearing, I was honored to join hundreds of Gold Star families for 12th annual Military Friends Foundation military tree dedication in the Statehouse, as well. The Military Friends Foundation is a wonderful nationwide organization that does incredible work supporting those who have lost a loved one who served in the military. It was a truly special event of recognition and remembrance and a big thanks to this group for organizing, as well as inviting me.
