As we gather with loved ones to celebrate Thanksgiving, I want to take a moment to reflect on the many things I am grateful for—and at the top of my list is you.

Your unwavering support, encouragement, and belief in the work we’re doing together fill me with immense gratitude. Whether it’s championing educational opportunities, fighting for a healthier environment, or creating an economy that works for every Californian, your partnership makes all of it possible.

This past year has brought its share of challenges and triumphs, and through it all, I’ve been inspired by the resilience and generosity of our communities. From small acts of kindness to bold advocacy for change, we’ve seen Californians rise to meet every moment with strength and determination.

Thanksgiving reminds us of the importance of gratitude and connection. It’s a time to celebrate not just what we have, but also the values we hold dear—equity, justice, and opportunity for all. These are the principles that guide my work every day, and I am deeply committed to continuing this journey with you by my side.

As we look toward the future, I am filled with hope and optimism. Together, we can tackle the challenges ahead and ensure a brighter, more inclusive future for every Californian.

Thank you for all that you do and for being such an important part of this mission. I wish you and your loved ones a joyful, peaceful, and warm Thanksgiving.
