Dear Friend, 

As we gather with friends and family to celebrate Thanksgiving, we hope that you will take this opportunity to reflect on the many blessings we have as Minnesotans.

Despite the joys of this gathering, this year has not been without its challenges. Rising costs are stretching family budgets and making the holiday season difficult for many.

Still, all of us have reasons to be thankful.

In response to the unprecedented challenges brought on by droughts and economic disruptions, our farmers and ranchers continued to provide food and ensure Minnesota turkey is available across the nation. Our truck drivers and freight operators are working around the clock to keep our shelves stocked and our economy moving. And in every community, small businesses remain a pillar of growth and opportunity.

Furthermore, we cannot forget the service and sacrifice of our men and women in uniform and our first responders. While we gather with loved ones, millions of Americans are away from their families, ensuring our safety and security. We are grateful for their service.

From our family to yours, Happy Thanksgiving.

Sincerely,
