Happy 4th of July

Here in District 4, I’m proud to represent a community that shows up for one another — whether it’s through public service, neighborhood engagement, or simply being a good neighbor.

Thank you for all that you do to make our community strong and inclusive.

Wishing you and your loved ones a safe, joyful, and meaningful 4th of July!

4th of july

On July 4, 1776, the United States declared its independence from British rule with the adoption of the Declaration of Independence, a bold step toward creating a nation founded on the ideals of liberty, equality, and democracy.

 

As we celebrate today with fireworks, food, and family, let’s also reflect on the journey of our country — the progress we’ve made and the work that still lies ahead to ensure freedom and justice for all.

Let this day be a reminder that freedom isn’t just a celebration — it’s a commitment. ❤️🤍💙
