Hello Fellow Democrats,

Let me first wish you a very happy New Year. While the last two years have been extremely challenging for all of us, I am thankful to have been able to work with you all as your Chairwoman. 

The COVID-19 pandemic is still evolving and many people are suffering due to the loss of loved ones, poor health, school closings, loss of jobs, and stress-related to financial hardships. 

As Democrats, we want to ensure that we are not adding to the unnecessary spread of COVID-19, therefore I would like to offer the following guidance:

Block Walking:

• Carry Hand Sanitizer
• Limit the number of people in each vehicle
• When the weather permits, keep the windows down
• Wear PPE such as masks and face shields
• Stay six feet away from voters
• Make use of "Lit-Drops" and limit unnecessary exposure to the public
• Utilize Mini-Van instead of paper lists to minimize the spread

Events:

• Host events outdoors
• Exercise social distancing
• If hosting an event indoors, limit the number of people in attendance
• Host hybrid events that include a virtual participation option

Overall Voter Contact:

• Limit your amount of physical contact
• If you are sick, stay home
• Use a face mask at all times even indoors
• Sanitize your hands regularly
• If you are exposed, please follow CDC guidance

Speaking from first-hand experience, I know that elections carry a large amount of stress, without the undue burden of a pandemic however, it is possible to win an election while following COVID-19 protocols.

If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to me or my office. Best of luck this election season.

Respectfully,

---
