John,

As we gather with loved ones this Thanksgiving, I am reflecting on how truly blessed I am. Blessed to serve my neighbors in the 191st District, blessed to serve my colleagues as Speaker of the Pennsylvania House, blessed to have the support of so many, and blessed with abundant opportunities to make a difference in our communities. 

Every day, I’m reminded that this work is about people: families around the table, seniors who’ve built our communities, small business owners realizing their dreams and livelihoods, students eager for opportunity, and veterans who have given so much. Your belief in me and in our shared future is the reason I do this work, and I’m profoundly grateful for the trust you place in me.

Thank you for your support, your counsel, your prayers, and your partnership. Thank you for showing up for me, for our neighbors, and for our Commonwealth. Because of you, we continue to make progress and deliver for our communities.

Today, I am reflecting on all the ways in which I am thankful, grateful, and blessed. I hope this season brings you rest, joy, and time with the people who matter most. From my family to yours: Happy Thanksgiving!

With blessings,

Rep. Joanna E. McClinton                                    
Speaker of the Pennsylvania House
