The 101st Legislative Session is officially in the books. Serving in the State Senate is one of the greatest honors of my life. It’s long days, late nights, tough votes, and a lot of serious conversations about the future of our state. But through it all, one thing stayed front and center for me: the people back home. Every call, email, message, and conversation helped shape the work we did this session. Whether you reached out with encouragement, concerns, or a different perspective, I’m grateful for it. That’s how citizen-led government is supposed to work. I’m thankful for the colleagues, staff, and advocates who put in countless hours to keep the process moving. Even when we disagree, the shared goal is making our state stronger. Most of all, thank you to our community for the trust you placed in me to serve during the 101st session. I never take that responsibility lightly. Now it’s time to be home, spend time with family, and reconnect with the community that sent me to Pierre in the first place. Session may be over, but the work of serving doesn’t stop here. Thank you for the opportunity to represent you.
