Campaigning in the Middle of a Pandemic
Description (Dublin Core)
The office of US House Rep. Ron Estes (4th District - KS) distributed this pamphlet through the mail to Wichita-area voters in April of 2020 as the US government grappled with the rapidly developing public health and economic crisis. Reflecting the GOP perspective on the federal government's early response to COVID-19, the pamphlet praises the 45th president's administration, as well as the US Congress, for taking action to combat the virus's effects, most notably the delayed tax filing deadline, the Families First Coronavirus Act, and allocating money for accelerated testing, virus treatments, and vaccine development. Moreover, it credits the president's administration with ensuring health care access through telemedicine expansion. Finally, it describes COVID-19 as the greatest crisis this country has faced since the Second World War and repeats the now common phrase, "We're All In This Together."
