El Paso is one of the communities hardest hit by the COVID-19 pandemic and our frontline health care workers have been working around the clock to defeat this deadly virus. We can't thank them enough for their dedication, service, and personal sacrifice. That's why my office is launching a digital campaign to show our appreciation for our heroes. Starting today, you and your loved ones can submit digital notes and drawings for frontline health care workers fighting to keep our community safe and healthy during these difficult times. This is just one small way for us to express our gratitude and let them know we will always remember their sacrifices. Please take a moment to express your gratitude to our heroes and visit escobar.house.gov/ThankYou to submit your notes by December 22, 2020, at 10 p.m. MT. My office is partnering with various organizations in El Paso to safely deliver your notes. |
