Above all else, we prioritize the health and safety of our community, volunteers, staff, candidates, and Senators. We are grateful to all our legislators for acting quickly to provide funding to address this crisis. In the days and weeks to come, we expect to learn more about COVID-19, as this is a rapidly changing situation.

Be sure to stay home if you are sick or experiencing flu-like symptoms, cover your cough, and frequently wash your hands. Thank you for doing your part to slow the spread of COVID-19.
