Dear Third District Resident,
As the year draws to a close, it’s a time to reflect on all we have accomplished together. We’ve made significant strides in improving our community, supporting our local businesses, and addressing the needs of our district. Each accomplishment represents a step forward, and I am incredibly proud of the progress we’ve made. This success is a direct result of the thriving Third District and your ongoing engagement and support. Working together, we continue to build a stronger, more prosperous County.
As we enter the holiday season, let’s take this time to embrace the spirit of the season—of kindness, generosity, and unity. It’s a moment to appreciate the connections we’ve built, celebrate our shared achievements, and look forward to the new opportunities that await us in the year ahead. Together, we create a community where the values of compassion and collaboration are at the heart of everything we do.
On behalf of myself and my Third District team, I wish you all a joyful, peaceful, and fulfilling holiday season.
Sincere regards,
