“Well what we have been doing and we have been telling our campaigners to tell everybody that they can come out and vote and they are going to be able to vote safely. We are not going to have huge crowds out there. Nobody is going to be aggressing them when they come out and vote. We are going to make sure that we sanitize the vehicle before a voter comes in, sanitize their hands, when they come back sanitize when they come in. We want to make the voters feel safe. In some instances we are going to have some face shields for those that really feel that they need that face shield for them to come and vote safely. We need to everything to protect our democracy but we have to do it safely because of COVID.”

“Sir with only twenty add days left how has your campaign been going because of COVID?”
John Briceño
“It is totally different campaign and we have just small group, no big meetings. When you go in the house you don’t go in the house. You tend to stay outside and talk to people from a distance and of course as soon as you leave you have to sanitize your hands as much as I dislike it but I have to do because it is the right thing.”
