SD 11 SREC: House District 129 Newsletter

It's been a busy start to 2024. I have been speaking at and attending many events across District 129. After spending most of last year in regular and special legislative sessions, I have enjoyed seeing so many of my constituents and speaking with them about the issues they feel are important.

As we continue to the summer, I look forward to receiving interim charges so that we can begin working on legislation for the upcoming 89th legislature, which starts in January 2025.

As always, if I can assist in any way, please do not hesitate to contact my office. My contact information is at the bottom of this newsletter.

May you all have a blessed Easter weekend,

I would like to wish everyone a blessed Easter weekend as we celebrate the resurrection of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
