I would like to take this opportunity to wish everyone a Happy Easter. Despite the circumstances, I hope that you can find a safe way to celebrate this weekend with friends and family. These are certainly trying times for our state and country, but the American people have shown throughout this pandemic that we will persevere and come out stronger than ever before.
