Holiday Greetings to You!
Dear Friends,
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays.
I want to extend my warmest wishes to you and your loved ones for a peaceful and restful holiday season.
Despite our many challenges in 2025, there are even greater blessings all around us. I am especially grateful for the opportunity to come together recently at our Winter Wonderland community event. Seeing families, friends, and neighbors connect in celebration of our shared values was a powerful reminder that we are a community of resilience, compassion and strength.
Providing state resources to those who attended and participated in our toy drive for the Pasadena Fire Department to help families in need made this event special and reinforced the importance of our work.
I’m also thankful to everyone who helped make our Operation Gobble – turkey giveaway event – a heartfelt success this past month where we provided more than 1,000 turkeys and food boxes to local families.

I look forward to continuing to serve and uplift our community and hope you can spend time with family and loved ones today and in the days to come.
It’s an honor to represent you in the State Senate.
I hope everyone has a very Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays.
Warmest wishes.
