I hope you had a joyful holiday season and I wish you a Happy New Year!
In less than two weeks, I’ll be back in Richmond for the 2023 General Assembly Session. I am looking forward to working with my colleagues on many new and impactful bills.
During Session, I will introduce commending resolutions to honor residents who deserve recognition for their outstanding contributions to our community. Please send nominations to my Chief of Staff, Madison McCabe, at [email protected]. Your submission should include the nominee’s full name and a description of their contributions.
It is my honor to represent you and the people of the 34th District for another year. I hope this new year brings good health, happy days, and new adventures.
Sincerely,
Delegate Kathleen Murphy
