Earlier this week, I had the honor of speaking to the Sumter branch of the NAACP. Looking out at that room, I was filled with gratitude. We are our ancestors’ wildest dreams—the living product of their sacrifice. And I am grateful to the people of South Carolina for sending Annie Andrews to the United States Senate.

Here is to unexpected kindness, extraordinary grace, and generosity of spirit.
For four years, this young man has been sharing his Halloween candy with the sanitation workers who serve his community. What a beautiful example for us all.
It doesn’t take much to be thoughtful, to bring someone a little joy, to lift another person’s spirits.
We are all working hard. We are all carrying burdens others cannot see. We are all facing challenges others may never know.
May we sprinkle our days with small acts of kindness, decency, and love. For when we lift others along life’s journey, we inevitably lift ourselves.
May we see more of this spirit. May we be more of it.

4 years ago he had the idea to share his Halloween candy with our local waste management crew as a thank you for the hard work they do for us.
It quickly became his favourite tradition and now he gets almost as excited for the garbage day that follows Halloween as he is for actual Halloween!
I hope his heart never changes and that he is always this thoughtful and generous.

Now THIS is Jersey pride!
As a former high school football player, I know the power of teamwork, the thrill of victory, and the pride of leaving it all on the field.
But what these extraordinary young people in Farmingdale, New Jersey, have done is a different kind of victory.
A football field filled with yellow bags of food for families in need. A powerful demonstration of teamwork, generosity, kindness, and service.
There have surely been great plays, big touchdowns, and unforgettable victories on this field. But this may be one of its greatest wins.
Because the true measure of a team isn’t just how many points it scores, but how many lives it touches. And the greatest victories aren’t always on the scoreboard. They’re in the lives we lift and the people we serve.
I’m so proud of these young people. And I’m proud they’re Jersey!
Thank you to everyone in Farmingdale who made this possible, especially these young heroes who truly delivered.
May we see more of this spirit.
May we all be more of this spirit.
