Thank you commissioners and staff for having me today.

May we take a moment to reflect on the values that unite us as a community and a nation.

In this space, we are bound not by creed or doctrine, but by a commitment to principles that transcend individual beliefs.

We hold in common the ideals of democracy: the dignity of every person, the right to free expression, the pursuit of justice, and the relentless endeavor for equality.

These principles guide us, challenge us, and call us to action. Let us pledge ourselves to the ongoing work of creating a society where every voice is heard, where the rule of law protects the weak as well as the strong, where differences are celebrated as strengths, and where the promise of liberty and opportunity is extended to all.

May our deliberations today be infused with respect, compassion, and a shared purpose.

Together, let us strive to build a future defined by cooperation, mutual respect, and a deep commitment to the common good.

Thank you.
