Independence Day

Along with the fun and festivities of this day, it is important that we set aside time for commemorating the reason why July 4th is recognized as a holiday: the signing of the Declaration of Independence.

I want to take this opportunity to wish you and your family a fun, but meaningful Independence Day.

Sincerely,

State Representative Dave Yaccarino

87th General Assembly District
