Full video transcript included below:

Hello and Merry Christmas!

As 2016 draws to a close, I am excited to join with friends and family in West Virginia and reflect on all that we have to be grateful for this year, and all that we are poised to accomplish in 2017 under Republican leadership.

During the holiday season, please join me in remembering the meaning of Christmas: the birth of our Lord and savior Jesus Christ, and spreading joy, happiness and kindness throughout our communities, including to the families that continue to recover from this summer’s devastating flooding.

Please also join me in praying for our troops. Let us give thanks for the tremendous sacrifices these servicemen and women have made in order to keep us safe, especially those who are serving far away from their homes and their loved ones.

I wish all West Virginians a very Merry Christmas and a very Happy New Year.
