My 2024 Session Report was mailed out a couple of days ago and should be reaching your physical mailboxes this week. If you haven\u2019t received it, or you\u2019d rather read it online,\u00a0please click here<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0or on the image below:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A note on Election Year Activity<\/strong><\/h2>\n

In election years, there are specific guidelines on legislators\u2019 public communications to ensure that state resources aren\u2019t used for campaign purposes. Commonly referred to as EYA restrictions, they include suspending newsletters, both electronic and mailers, freezing our websites, and halting all official social media activity.<\/p>\n

So, from May 6 until the general elections are certified in the Fall, there will be no legislative updates from me, and no new content will be uploaded to my online platforms.<\/p>\n

You are welcome to read my previous newsletters and watch video updates on\u00a0my website<\/a><\/strong>, since all of that information is already public.\u00a0Click here<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>or on the image below for a short video on EYA:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"Orwall<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

It\u2019s important to note that these restrictions will not keep me from continuing to serve as your state representative throughout the year. I am able to respond to calls and emails, so don\u2019t hesitate to contact my office if you have questions about any legislative issue, if you have feedback, or just to say hello. I want to hear from you!<\/p>\n

Thank you for reading this newsletter and for your continued interest in your state government.<\/p>\n

Take care,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
