The holiday season is one of my favorite times of year, full of celebrations and joy shared with family and friends.

As we reflect on the past year during this season, I encourage you to join me in focusing on the progress we have made and how we can continue to work together to build a stronger San Joaquin Valley and nation for us all.

The common bonds that unite us – our Valley home, our American values, and our shared future – are far stronger than whatever differences we... may have.
