Wednesday at 5:00pm I’m hosting my third telephone town hall. I will remain available, even under these circumstances. We all need to understand what’s being done to help us get through this crisis. Sign up here.
Please everyone stay inside, it will save lives. Listen to scientists. It’s hard for me too, I love being out and talking to people. We have a personal responsibility to protect others more vulnerable in our community. So stay home, read that book you’ve been looking at, clean your home, and stay safe. We must do this together.
