A Final Message from Ryan: Thank You, NJ-03

The election is over, but the people I met, the stories I heard, and the friendships we made will stay with me.

Thank you to everyone who volunteered, donated, collected signatures, shared a video, put up a sign, or simply stopped to talk. I appreciated every conversation, including those with people who disagreed with me.

My wife, Dr. Catherine Kelly, has been my rock through the long days, late nights, and every high and low. Catherine, thank you for standing beside me. I love you.

November 4 is also the birthday of my late mother, Phylis Jane Kelly. I still miss her. In her memory, I'm sharing a free electronic edition of my children's book, Squeaky the Tank and the Great Big Bluster Parade. After checking our inventory, we found that we don't have any additional physical books or Squeaky plush toys available. But we still want to share a little kindness! That's why we've extended the free e-book giveaway through December 31, 2026.

Free Squeaky e-book through December 31

I congratulated Congressman Herb Conaway on his victory and shared some of the concerns residents raised with me. I hope those conversations continue. An election may end, but the need to listen does not.

I don't know exactly what comes next, but I remain grateful for the chance to be part of your lives. Take care of yourselves, take care of one another, and tell the people you love what they mean to you.
