Dear Friends,      The holiday season is about spending time with family and friends and recognizing the blessings bestowed upon us.      This past month, more than ever, I am constantly reminded of how fortunate I am to represent you in the State Senate. I am thankful for our local heroes who have given so much, I am thankful for the tireless dedication of our staff at the COAs, and I am grateful for everyone in our cities and towns who donate much of their time to their communities.      Please read/share my newsletter for updates on Beacon Hill and how you can give back this holiday season.      Sincerely,
