Wishing you and your loved ones a reflective and meaningful Memorial Day, one that honors those who have served our country.

The House Committee on Ways and Means submitted their version of the FY25 Budget to the larger House of Representatives today. I’ve filed budget amendments that will have local, regional, and statewide impact, and I look forward to the upcoming budget debates in just a few weeks.

I was joined by some fantastic climate advocates this week at my monthly office hours in Linden Ponds. We discussed their plans for Earth Month and the implementation of the 2050 Climate Roadmap. Keep up the good fight!
