EmailTemplate-Responsive <[link removed]> Dear John??
As we make our way into the first full week of June, I think it is important to
remember the great strides we have made as a country and as a state since the
beginning of the Coronavirus pandemic. It was just over two months ago when the
world stood still and almost everything closed down. Stay at Home orders were
implemented and businesses shut their doors.
Thankfully, things are better now as we have begun the process of returning
to normal. The expanded Safer at Home order here in Alabama has been
encouraging, and the number of confirmed COVID-19 cases in the United States
has decreased significantly. All of this is good news, and I am hopeful that
the positive news will continue throughout the month of June.
Re-opening Alabama, Three Weeks Later
Alabama has shown the country and the world how to properly reopen for
business. Our state started loosening restrictions several weeks ago, and with
each new set of expansions to the Safer at Home order, we have not seen a
significant spike in confirmed cases of COVID-19.
Just last week Governor Ivey instituted an update to her statewide order that
allowed certain entertainment venues, athletic activities, child-care
facilities, educational institutions, and even Summer camps to reopen as long
as they adhere to social-distancing and sanitation rules and guidelines. This
is great news, and I am incredibly pleased that Alabama is one of the most open
states in the country.
As you may have heard, Marshall County has not only been the hotspot in the 4
th District, but it has the most confirmed cases in North Alabama. Yet, the
good news is that these cases are not translating into hospitalizations. At the
end of last week, there were only two COVID-19 patients hospitalized in
Marshall County. Then on Wednesday of this week it was announced that there was
not a single COVID-19 patient in any Marshall County hospital. Let?s hope this
trend continues.
What remains important, even with newly expanded openings, is the health and
safety of you and your loved ones. Ensuring we maintain social distancing and
proper sanitation is vitally important, and keeping businesses afloat during
this pandemic will remain a high priority. If you have any questions or
concerns, please do not hesitate tocontact my office

2020 Census
Every 10 years since 1790 there has been a Census count of our country. Back
then, 650 U.S. Marshals road around on horseback, going from door to door
counting people and recording the numbers on forms made of parchment and animal
skin. While I must admit it would be fun to have some guy ride up on a horse to
count me for the Census, I am happy that things have been made much easier. For
the 2020 Census, we can each fill out our own Census forms from our phones or
computers, making what was once a tall task a relatively simple one.
While these improvements have made this process easier, it remains important
that we all take the time to complete our Census - because the numbers our
state reports are directly related to government funding that is based on
population. So far, 58.7% of responses have been recorded for our district,
which ranks 3rd in the state. Now I don?t know about you, but I don?t like
losing ? so I am calling on everyone to fill out your Census forms today and
tell your friends, family, neighbors, and everyone else you know to fill out
theirs too! If your source of mail is through a P.O. Box, don?t worry, your
forms will be hand delivered on June 15th. However, you don?t even need to
wait, you can fill it out entirely online! You just put in your home address
and you can do the Census right away.

Picture the District Contest???????
It is no secret that our district is filled with beautiful scenery and
incredibly talented people, and I have enjoyed seeing both come together in our
photo competition. Last week I sent out the five finalists of the competition
and called on you to vote on the winner.With a staggering total of 743 votes
