The November election is right around the corner and one of my highest priorities is for El Pasoans to have the information and the resources they need to vote as we continue fighting against the coronavirus pandemic.

That’s why I’m hosting an important conversation with Lisa Wise, the El Paso County Elections Administrator, about our upcoming elections and everything you need to know to vote tomorrow, September 12, 2020, at 11 am MT.

During the “2020 Election: What You Need to Know to Vote” conversation, Lisa and I will debunk myths and discuss important information like vote by mail, early voting, and election protocols.

Guests:

Congresswoman Veronica Escobar (TX-16)

Lisa Wise, El Paso County Elections Administrator

The conversation will be available to watch live on my Facebook page. El Pasoans can submit their questions here or during the event.

Testing and Additional Resources

The fight against COVID-19 is far from over, and this is not the time to let our guard down. We have to do our part and stay home unless we absolutely need to leave for an essential activity. We all have a role to play in slowing the spread and protecting ourselves, our family, and our community.

Because new information about COVID-19 is coming out daily, please visit my resource page on my website for the latest updates, recommendations from the CDC, and a Frequently Asked Questions section. Additionally, visit the sites below to stay up to date.

The CDC provides updates on the virus and safety information for the public and healthcare professionals, as well as Frequently Asked Questions available here. 

The City of El Paso has a hotline for residents to call for more information regarding COVID-19. The number is 915-21-COVID, or 915-212-6843.

If you need to get tested because you believe you’ve been exposed to COVID-19 or are experiencing symptoms, please get tested. The City of El Paso also offers mobile testing centers throughout the city that are now open and are free of charge for any symptomatic or asymptomatic person. So, whether you are exhibiting symptoms or not, you can get tested! For more information on locations and operating hours, please click here.

The Texas Department of State Health Services provides updates on the disease's spread within the state.

The safety and well-being of you and your loved ones is of the utmost importance. If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact my office via email at Veronica.Escobar@mail.house.gov or by phone at 915-541-1400.
