John, my husband’s family is from Chicago, where the river runs green every year in celebration of St. Patrick’s Day. Bart’s last name, now mine, means “proud” in Gaelic and was first used hundreds of years ago near Limerick. As you can imagine, this is a big holiday in our family.

Do you celebrate? Do you know the origin of your last name? Which is your favorite holiday (I actually have a few)? I’d love to know.

Recently, I asked my top supporters like you to complete my 100 days survey, and I am grateful for your feedback. Because you're a Founding Member of Team Chrissy, I'd love to chat with you, trade family celebration stories, and generally hear what’s on your mind.

The first 10 people to sign up for a monthly recurring contribution to my campaign will receive a call from me in the next few weeks.

May your troubles be less
And your blessings be more,
And nothing but happiness
Come through your door.
–Old Irish Blessing

I know you share my commitment to securing a better future for folks in our community, so I hope you'll join me in sharing your thoughts. I look forward to speaking with you soon.

There's work to be done. And Happy St. Patrick's Day!

– Chrissy
