    Thank you nurses, housekeeping, docs, medical examiners, funeral service employees — heroes in El Paso driving home, catching a nap, going to work, or on a tough shift. Exhausted, devastated, committed. We have no idea what you’re going through. But we’re grateful. Thank you.

    This is the person who called El Paso County a “rogue government” because the County Judge was trying to slow down the misery and death in El Paso.👇🏽

    If we each committed to doing everything possible to keep ourselves and others safe, wear masks, make sacrifices, keep our distance then we wouldn’t see governments, people and businesses feel like they’re pitted against each other. Let’s each do our part. Please.

    Big statement in from Trump's Department of Homeland Security's cybersecurity agency today: "The November 3rd election was the most secure in American history...There is no evidence that any voting system deleted or lost votes, changed votes, or was in any way compromised."

    It was actually sad to watch you say “lets take a pause,” and then witness you laugh about it. 100,000 more people died, because you let a bill sit on your desk for 6 months that would have provided funding for testing, tracing, treatment, and aid for those impacted by the virus.

    It is sad to see leading Democrats including some Governors treat the vaccine news like a mixed blessing because it occurred under a Republican administration. Some things must be bigger than politics. Leaders should be cheering this on, not baselessly undermining science.

    I'll continue to push for more federal funding for El Paso. But we need a willing Senate. Pls reach out to senators who could help force to bring our COVID bills to the floor, which would help small businesses, unemployed, food banks, schools, hospitals and govts.

    At City Hall for today’s COVID-19 update. The county’s Office of Emergency Management says 67 El Pasoans have been airlifted to other cities for treatment as of today.

    El Paso funeral directors are straining to keep up with an unfathomable number of people dying of COVID-19. The virus has dramatically altered how El Pasoans mourn their dead, and report.
