Commonwealth of Kentucky

Senator Phillip Wheeler

As Christmas draws near and we prepare to welcome a new year, I want to extend my heartfelt wishes to you and your family. The holiday season gives us a moment to pause and appreciate the blessings that carry us through the challenges of life—our faith, our families, and the communities that continue to show remarkable strength and generosity.

.

Here in Eastern Kentucky, we understand the meaning of resilience. We’ve faced tough seasons, and yet we continue to support one another in ways that often go unnoticed but never go unfelt—neighbors checking in on neighbors, churches stepping up to help families in need, and local organizations working quietly to make the holidays brighter for children and seniors alike. These small acts of kindness are the foundation of our region and a reminder of what makes home truly special.

.

I’m grateful for the privilege of representing you in the Kentucky Senate. Every conversation, every meeting in a courthouse office or a school gym, and every call from a concerned citizen shapes the work I do on your behalf. As we look toward the upcoming legislative session, my commitment remains firm: to advocate for good jobs, responsible government, safe communities, and a stronger future for the people of Eastern Kentucky. Your trust and engagement guide that mission every day.

.

My hope for you this Christmas season is that you find peace in the still moments, joy in your traditions, and renewed hope for the year ahead. May your home be filled with warmth, may your family be blessed with good health, and may our region continue to move forward with grit and grace.

Thank you for the honor of serving you. Merry Christmas, and may God bless you and your loved ones.
