Thursday

I'll only disagree with one point. The only true negative reviews of 2025 are with a macro lense.
I think the more local and personal we get, the better the outlook becomes.
Please let us take positive things from this past year, like the refreshing reengagement of younger voters, and the ultimate positive outlook that has me believing we are setting up for the next generation or two of Democrats setting the table for the future.

Trump will ensure that.
Happy New Year and thank you for all you do.
