 Dear Third District Resident,
As we turn the page to a new year, I am excited about the opportunities ahead and the continued progress we can achieve together in the Third District. Our commitment to fostering a stronger, more vibrant community remains steadfast as we work to enhance partnerships, expand access to resources, and support initiatives that drive success for all.
As we move into January, it is important to take time to reflect on several significant observances that shape our values and remind us of our shared concerns.
- National Law Enforcement Appreciation Day serves as a moment to express gratitude to the brave men and women who work tirelessly to protect and serve our community. Their dedication is vital to ensuring our neighborhoods remain safe and secure.
- Martin Luther King, Jr., National Day of Service encourages us to honor Dr. King's enduring legacy of equality, justice, and unity by giving back to those in need. It is a powerful reminder of the impact we can have when we come together in service.
- Holocaust Remembrance Day reminds us to reflect on the past and reaffirm our unwavering commitment to combating hate and intolerance in all its forms, ensuring that such atrocities are never repeated.
Let us carry these lessons of gratitude, service, and unity with us, as we move forward. By working together, we can continue to create a Third District that is safe, inclusive, and resilient—a place where everyone has the opportunity to thrive.
Wishing you a happy and prosperous New Year.
Sincere regards,

January is National Human Trafficking Awareness and Prevention Month
January serves as a critical time to raise awareness about human trafficking and reflect on how we can each contribute to combating this issue. Human trafficking involves the exploitation of individuals for labor, services, or commercial sexual exploitation, and it is recognized as one of the fastest-growing illegal industries globally.
To help mitigate these malicious crimes, you can report your concerns about a potential trafficking situation or get help for a person who may be a victim through contacting the National Human Trafficking Hotline by calling 1-888-373-7888 or texting 233733.
