Also on April 13, Mastriano acknowledged Thomas Jefferson’s birthday with a reference to American foundational values: “On April 13, 1743, Thomas Jefferson, Founding Father and principal author of the Declaration of Independence, was born. Jefferson’s words helped shape the ideals of liberty and self-government that define our nation. His belief that all people are endowed with unalienable rights”
