Friends and Neighbors,
I hope that this newsletter finds you and your loved ones well as we begin the holiday season. This year, I am thankful for my family and the opportunity to spend time with them during this holiday season. I also wish to thank and extend a deep sense of gratitude to our family members, friends, and other loved ones who are serving in the military whether domestically or overseas. As a veteran myself, I know how difficult it is to be away from loved ones during the holidays, and how homesick one can get. Take some time to keep those servicemen and women in your thoughts and prayers.
While the 2020 Legislative Session will not begin until February 11, I encourage people to reach out to my office with what they’d like to see the legislature tackle in 2020. It will be a bonding year, and I will work to get our local projects included in any final bill. We also have unfinished policy work to do – like addressing prescription drug costs and providing emergency access to insulin. These are just some of the issues I hope we can find common ground on in 2020.
It is truly an honor and a privilege to serve as your State Senator. Please do not hesitate to contact my office with questions, comments, or concerns about any pending legislation or issues that are on your mind.

Yours in Service,
Jerry Newton
State Senator
