With 2020 quickly coming to an end, the return to the general routines of the legislative session is as close as ever, reminding us of the refreshed start to daily convenings under the Gold Dome, new legislative initiatives and the typical busyness of committee meetings. Our work, of course, has not stopped during our time away from the Capitol and as we reflect on the close of a rather unprecedented, challenging yet fully accomplished year, our service to you remains as critical as ever. With that, while we may say goodbye to some of our old friends and colleagues, we also welcome a new cohort of bright-minded, passionate members who share in our commitment to reflect your best interests in all that we do. In anticipation of this upcoming legislative session, I would like to highlight an overview of our many major successes this year and what priorities we hope to address in 2021.
