We all know that Gainesville is home to a beautiful and vibrant community. Today, the community continues to struggle, combating COVID-19 and the other challenges this past year has thrown at us.
As city commissioner I have worked hard to keep Gainesville safe during these trying times. While there is still much work to be done, I am proud of our city’s resilience and confident that the work we are doing will have a positive impact beyond the present circumstances.
Disadvantaged communities are suffering most at the hands of this virus. African Americans and Latinos are twice as likely to be hospitalized due to severe COVID-19 symptoms.
