Garcia (R-CA-25) 12/31/2021: Twitter thread – “2021 was a year filled with many challenges, but I remain hopeful about the progress made on key issues for #CA25. ➡️ Through my committee assignment on @HouseAppropsGOP, I helped secure over $10 million for critical projects in our district. ➡️ In May, I brought national attention to the illegal marijuana grows in CA25. Thanks to the partnership I had with @LACoSheriff and help from law enforcement officials at every level– we conducted the largest illegal drug raid in L.A. County history! ➡️ My office assisted over 1,000 constituents with federal casework – including 72 veterans. ➡️My office helped evacuate over 115 Americans and Afghan allies after the Biden administration's botched withdrawal from Afghanistan. ➡️ I introduced the PROTECT Act to allow for increased active forest management methods to prevent devastating wildfires. ➡️ I continue to fight the reckless use of Public Safety Power Shutoffs in #CA25. ➡️ I introduced the Military Spouse Licensing Relief Act, which passed the House & would allow military spouses w/ professional licenses to continue to utilize them when moving on military orders. I look forward to continuing the fight into 2022! For more on what I am doing on behalf of CA25, subscribe to my newsletter here: U.S. Representative Mike Garcia... | mikegarcia.house.gov”

Slotkin (D-MI-8) 12/31/2021: Twitter thread – “As we close out 2021, I'd be remiss not to acknowledge how hard this year has been. An insurrection. Impeachment. The heartbreaking scenes out of Afghanistan. And, just this month, the gut-wrenching tragedy at Oxford High School. But in all the chaos, there have also been moments of joy that remind me of what we do here. So, I thought I'd share some of my moments of joy with you, and encourage you to reflect on yours, as well. My highlights included: throwing out the first pitch at a @LansingLugnuts game & cheering on @MSU_Football to victory against U of M (& beating @RepDebDingell in a prank war). Shortly after, I visited MSU's head coach, @Coach_mtucker and the Paul Bunyan trophy.

Working with my team to craft and pass meaningful, bipartisan legislation — like PAWS, a bill to connect veterans with service dogs. Link to image And, I was fortunate enough to travel to Albania to meet the Afghan nationals we worked day and night to evacuate out of Afghanistan in August — it was truly an experience I'll never forget. Link to image When things seem dark, making time for joy for you & your loved ones is so important. I hope you take time to reflect on the moments of joy you've had in 2021 & maybe plan some for 2022. What was your best moment in 2021? Share it! It helps us all appreciate what's important.”
