After a second try, test results came back positive for Covid-19. Have been experiencing classic symptoms..like so many others, my goal is to keep my family safe. Though isolated temporarily, we’ve never been more energized in this important race for Governor. The work goes on!

America was built on free and fair elections. Still the envy of the planet. Once we lose sight of the things that bind us, how are we ever going to fix those things that divide us? As a Country First Republican, let’s get the basics right for the sake of the next generation. 🇺🇸

Bad news - love of my life, Mary Kaye, tested positive for #Covid_19 . Good news - I’m now fully recovered & can be her caregiver without worry. Rest of our gang has been tested again. Praying they avoid it! These aren’t easy days, let’s love each other a little more. #covidhouse
