U.S. Rep. Gerry Connolly, (D-11) “This holiday season, I am thankful for the love of my family and friends, and for the trust my constituents have once again placed in me. Serving Northern Virginia is one of my greatest privileges because of the community we have fostered. We respect each other and celebrate our differences, recognizing that it is our diversity which makes our community strong and vibrant. Each day, working together, we push towards a more fair and just society. These values are more important now than ever, and because of our shared commitment, I am thankful and proud to continue to represent you in Congress. I wish everyone a happy holiday season.”
