EmailTemplate-Responsive <[link removed]> Dear John??
Throughout the past few months, it has seemed like only negative news gets
reported anymore. It?s a sad reality of the 24-hour news cycle that we
constantly are subjected to, and it?s easy to fall into the mindset that
nothing good is happening in Alabama or the rest of the country. Well, as we
move into the mid-point of June, I think it would be beneficial for us all to
look at the good happening right here in our backyard. There are many companies
across our state who have stepped up and made significant contributions to the
fight against COVID-19, with several of those being in the 4th District, and I
want to take a moment to highlight some of the amazing work being done by our
fellow Alabamians.
HomTex

One of the most vital PPE products right now is face masks, and we are
fortunate to have a company here in our community that is leading the charge on
producing them. HomTex, which is based in Cullman, is on pace to become the
largest producer of masks in North America. This is a great accomplishment, and
it?s something we can all be proud of. They answered the call for help at the
start of the COVID-19 pandemic and are projected to make over 400 million masks
a year. This effort is critical for the short-term and the long-term health of
our country, and I applaud HomTex for their commendable efforts.

Red Land Cotton

Red Land Cotton in Lawrence County is known for their sheets and other home
products made from North Alabama grown cotton.? However, like HomTex, the
owners of Red Land stepped up and began making masks.? They first started
supplying them to local nursing homes that were facing shortages, but then also
began shipping them to UAB Hospital in Birmimgham.

Back Forty

Another essential need that has been met during this health crisis has been
the lack of hand sanitizer. Thanks to brewing and distilling companies like
Back Forty, Alabamians are no longer facing the shortages and price gouging of
hand sanitizer that was an initial problem back in March. There are many
companies across the state that are making this product currently, but Back
Forty is in?Gadsden, and I am incredibly thankful for the work they are
doing.???????

Webb Diagnostics

While WebbDX has assets in both Alabama and Tennessee, I think that the
amazing work they are doing is worth mentioning. If you are not familiar with
them, WebbDX is in the process of creating a rapid antibody test that detects
both COVID-19 infections and past exposure ? which would potentially indicate
if you have immunity to the virus. This is an innovative solution that will
benefit our state and our country for the foreseeable future. Helping WebbDX
navigate the FDA was something I was proud to do, and I am hopeful that this
test will be readily available to all Americans in the near future.???????


Thank you Alabama!

Although I highlighted just a few companies in our community that have made
drastic changes to their business model to help with COVID-19 relief, there are
many others across the district and the entire state. I want to take a moment
and say thank you to every company, organization, and employee who have been
involved in the fight against the Coronavirus. I have always been proud of the
way the good people of Alabama have risen up to meet a challenge, but the hard
work and care that has taken place in our state throughout this crisis has been
unbelievable, and I am very honored to represent all of you in Congress.???????
