Dear Friends,

I want to take this time to introduce myself as your new Assemblymember for the 27th District. The last few weeks have been a whirlwind of excitement and hard work. I am truly humbled to be of service in a community as active and vibrant as ours.

It has been my top priority since taking office to ensure that you continue to receive the best services the state has to offer. My staff stands ready to help with all constituent issues, including navi-gating city and state agency requests and applying for essential services.

In the past few weeks, I have had the pleasure of visiting community groups, senior centers, civic organizations, and schools throughout our District. The input I receive is essential to keeping the 27th Assembly District the best com-munity to live and work in. I look for-ward to continuing to travel across the District and hearing directly from you. I wish you all a great holiday season and a wonderful new year!

Sincerely,

AssemblymemberDaniel Rosenthal
