I am writing to urge your support for  H.R.139 - Sunshine Protection Act of 2025 to make Daylight Saving Time permanent.   The current practice of changing our clocks twice a year is outdated, disruptive, and harmful to public health and safety. Ending the bi-annual clock shift will directly benefit our community.   Research shows that extra evening daylight reduces traffic accidents during peak commute hours and lowers street crime rates by up to 27%.   Furthermore, eliminating the "spring forward" avoids the sudden sleep deprivation known to cause spikes in heart attacks and workplace injuries.   Permanent evening light also supports local businesses and encourages healthier, active lifestyles for families.   Please vote to end the clock changes and establish PERMANENT Daylight Saving Time. Thank you for your time, leadership, and consideration of this matter. VOTE YES FOR H.R.139 - Sunshine Protection Act of 2025.
