<p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin-left:.5in"><i><span style="font-family:"Open Sans"">I want to thank the members of the Idaho Legislature for passionately carrying out their duties and performing this special legislative session. Our common desire for
a prosperous and safe Idaho is our bond. Your work has helped ensure our election will be safe and secure and that businesses, schools, and churches responsibly operating during the pandemic are protected. I remain committed to working with you as we get through
this very challenging time in our history and emerge stronger than ever. <o:p></o:p></span></i></p>

proceeding. We will always outnumber the agitators who seek to stifle civil debate and harm our democratic republic.<o:p></o:p></span></i></p>

<p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin-left:.5in"><i><span style="font-family:"Open Sans"">To the men and women of the Idaho State Police, Boise Police Department, and Capitol security – you served with honor under extremely challenging circumstances. You put
your own health and safety on the line, and you acted appropriately to deescalate volatile situations to ensure the important business of the Legislature could move forward.
