Update from the State Capitol

4 years ago By District 57 Rep. Trent Ashby
With the Thanksgiving holiday behind us and Christmas just around the corner, I want to encourage you and your family to embrace this season of giving by seeking out opportunities to offer a helping hand to those in need throughout our communities. While many of us are blessed to enjoy a regular meal and a warm place to sleep at night, it’s important to remember that there are countless others that do not enjoy these basic blessings. In the coming weeks, I hope you’ll chip in at your neighborhood food pantry, donate a few extra dollars in the Salvation Army red kettle, or volunteer time to assist your local church. What better way to express our gratitude than by helping one another?
