Hello Neighbor,
Happy New Year to everyone in House District 32. I am so proud of the tenacity of our friends, families and neighbors as we put 2025 behind us and look forward to the possibilities of 2026. A new year can be the start of a transformative era in our district and in our individual lives. Reading more books at your local library branch, planning for a healthier and happier you, supporting more local businesses when you can and trying to see the humanity in each and every person you interact with throughout your day can all be beneficial to you and our community as a whole! Let’s invest in ourselves and each other in 2026, because as we all know, change starts locally and you know I am rooting for the best in you and our neighbors.
In solidarity,
Jimmie Wilson, Jr.
