MADISONVILLE, La. – Sen. John Kennedy (R-La.) today released this message wishing Louisianians a Merry Christmas.

“I just want to say on behalf of myself and Becky—my better half—and our son, Preston, and our two pups, Charlie and Jack, Merry Christmas. We all want to wish you a very Merry Christmas and a healthy, happy, prosperous, safe New Year. I know Americans and Louisianians have faced a lot of trials—some new, some old—over the past year, but I also want you to know you're not alone and you are not forgotten,” said Kennedy.

“Christmas reminds all of us that God sent His Son into the world because He loves us. We celebrate Christ and his love this Christmas. We celebrate God and His love this Christmas. We hope that this holiday season brings you peace and joy and hope for the new year,” he continued.

“So, God bless all of you. God bless Louisiana and Merry Christmas!” Kennedy concluded.
