You are inspirational, Jess, and you motivated me to hit the links you provided to text bank, phonebank, postcards and letters. It was a long year, stressful, unsure of how it would turn out, and hearing daily reports of “red wave”, but just keeping our nose on grindstone to work hard so that we would have no regrets when the election results came in.

I thank you for your leadership and positivity. And wish you the happiest of holidays. See you in 2023!
