July is Disability Pride Month, a time to honor the strength, resilience, and achievements of people with disabilities. It also marks the anniversary of the signing of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, a law that helped secure civil rights and accessibility for millions of Americans.

One small thing we can all do is schedule time to thank our elected leaders who *are* out there fighting every day. I met with my County Board leaders today to say thank you and to chat about the future. I left energized and inspired thanks to @jdspainsr.bsky.social and @takiskarantonis.bsky.social

Military children are special because of their resilience and innovative spirit. As the proud father of three, I encourage everyone to take a moment this April to recognize their sacrifices and contributions to society.
