I am truly honored to be serving on the desperately needed Restoring the Common Good Initiative convened by @ChrisMurphyCT & @SpencerJCox. Excited to get started this week, along with Bishop William Barber, Yuval Levin, Ian Corbin, @FeliciaWongRI, @TPCarney, @samquinones7
Sen. Chris Murphy, D-Conn. and Utah’s Republican Gov. Spencer Cox are joining forces to try and address a vexing problem plaguing the U.S.: Americans are less and less happy.

It only takes a few seconds to reach out to a friend or family and let them know they are not alone. #socialconnection
Who do you turn to when you are feeling stressed? Research shows support from family and friends can help build resilience, boost self-esteem, and protect both mental and physical health. #stress #mentalhealth
